The Commander looked down at the bodies of the splicers that lay before him, their mangled corpses destroyed by his shotgun. He almost wished that his teammates could see him now but he remembered each one of them dying, one after the other in this ruined paradise of Rapture. He sat on the nearby bench and thought about how this all began.
The Commander and his group of 10 brave soldiers had ventured into Rapture after the body of a Diver had been found by an unlucky pair of fishermen. The body had been analysed for weeks and the ocean floor searched within a 500km radius of the location of the find. Upon looking through old history records they found the most probable origin of the Diver that was codenamed "Delta", Rapture. The very name "Rapture" meant nothing to the men at the time but 1 year later they sent in a team of 11 men. These men were the greatest at recon and survival, but that didn't prepare them for the horrors they faced.
"Are we there yet Commander? A tall, white pale man asked to the figured standing at the front of the boat. "James, if you ask me that one more time I swear I'm gonna shove your head up your ass" The figure at the front of the boat replied, turning to face James
"I'm Commander Matthew Resterson, I know what I'm doing" Matthew then walked up to the driver of the boat "How long until we arrive at the Light- Matthew silenced himself quickly as he saw the Lighthouse in the distance, it looked only about 100m away.
How could I not notice such a thing so close to myself? He wondered. After standing there for about he walked back to his team "Squad, gear up and get ready for my inspirational speech" Matthew cleared his throat:
"Soldiers, you may die today but if you die you will be remembered as the first brave Americans to fall during the infiltration of Rapture" he looked at his team and laughed "But all of you are living today and I get paid for each one of you that survives" he grabbed his Shotgun out from a storage box and loaded it "Let's go People!
Matthew walked towards the edge of the boat almost eager to escape onto dry land, his skin shivering in the cool ocean breeze. 2 Camera's located at the top of the entrance to the Lighthouse zoomed in on him showing his shaggy black hair, green eyes and eager expression on his face. Matthew felt himself ready and prepared for a new journey as he did every day; he felt that he needed to take every new day head on and always charged without wondering what would happen next. Matthew was wearing a Full suit of experimental Recon gear that almost became a "Second Skin" and protected him from most injuries.
The Boat pulled up at the rocks in front of the lighthouse, the tide already starting to pull the boat away. Matthew jumped towards the entrance of the Lighthouse and motioned for the rest of his team to follow, unaware of the cameras watching him and his squad moving. Matthew looked down and saw nothing but stairs as far as the eye could see. "Well guys, make sure you don't fall down otherwise I'll shoot you myself" Matthew started running down the stairs with his team in tow.
As Matthew reached the bottom of the stairs he pulled a lever and saw the door of the spherical object open, as he walked towards the "Bathysphere" he felt a shiver down his spine and pulled out his shotgun, readying it for action. His team stood in the front half of the "Bathysphere" and he stood behind them as the descent into Rapture began.
