Chapter 1
The Favourite
Log of one Kasandra Marco (1 year ago): We recently had two subjects brought in for the joint Big Daddy/Little Sister program. ADAM is in short supply these days. With the Little Sisters being our only supply, along with what few slugs we can find on the ocean floor, the need for more 'volunteers' to become Little Sisters and the Big Daddies that defend them has grown rapidly. Mr. Zain has made it very clear that our work is vital to maintaining Rapture, and that inefficiency will be punished harshly. The subjects are two young children, one boy and one girl. First, the girl. Records from the Big Sister that retrieved her state that she is known as Hinata Hyuuga, a girl of some import back on the surface. She is to be conditioned as a Little Sister immediately. The boy is known as Naruto Uzumaki. From what we've seen of the records he was treated somewhat as a pariah for reasons unknown. It matters little. Whether or not they are missed by their respective families has been deemed irrelevant by the higher-ups. Anyway, the boy is to be subjected to our Rapid Aging Plasmid to ensure that he reaches the age to become a Big Daddy as soon as possible.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (360 days ago): The Hyuuga girl it seems is a breakthrough as a Little sister. She has what has been referred to on the surface as a 'Bloodline Limit' that bestows her with incredible eyesight. And that bloodline limit has augmented her abilities as a Little sister. In addition to being able to easily locate ADAM rich corpses, she is able to see exactly where, in the body, the ADAM is located, ensuring that she is able to harvest the maximum amount. We are now seeking to ensure that she is very well protected on her forays into the city. This girl is far too valuable to lose to splicers. On the note of protection, the boy, Naruto, seems to be a curious case. The dose of Rapid Aging was meant to bring him to his late twenties to early thirties, the range of most of our Big Daddies. However, he seems to have only aged to his mid teens. The doctors have diagnosed that he possesses an extraordinary longevity, augmented by another source whose origin we are unable to discern. He has also rejected any attempts to fit him with any of the standard Big Daddy suits. One of doctors, Dr. Jasaad Misato, requested permission to use him for a project whose details he only shared with Mr. Zain, and was recently granted the request.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (353 days ago): We have hit a snag with the Hyuuga girl. She stedfastedly refuses to travel in the company of Big Daddies, and all attempts to bond her with one have met with failure. We must find a way to have her protected when she goes to harvest ADAM, or this gift will be wasted. Reports from the surface indicate that the searches for the two children have already been called off, so we need not worry about interference. I personally found it surprising that they gave up in less than 2 weeks. The children must not be missed where they come from.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (352 days ago): Dr. Jasaad, with the recommendation of Mr. Zain, has requested the Hyuuga girl to be a part of his experiment. Not wishing to defy Mr. Zain, she has been released into his custody.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (256 days ago): With the absence of Uzumaki and Hyuuga, we were left with little to occupy our time, save for plasmid and weapon testing. But today we were given a new subject. A Big Sister, sent out not a few hours ago, just returned with a rather unique individual. Named 'Isarabi' by her companions, shortly before they were eliminated, the girl seems to blend the characteristics of both human and fish. Conditioning her as a Little Sister has opened up a new wealth of ADAM gathering. The Big Sisters, while originally Little Sisters themselves, did not retain their ADAM processing ability, and so were unable to utilize the resource Isarabi could. The bodies outside Raptures walls, caused by tunnel explosions, bathasphere destruction, and the like. When the Big sisters attempted to harvest ADAM from these corpses, it degraded before they could bring it to a Little Sister. Isarabi solves this problem by being able to harvest the ADAM on site. While the ADAM available in each corpse is relatively small, the sheer number of bodies, coupled with the ease and relatively little risk involved, make this a viable option for building our reserves.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (157 days ago): Today has been an extraordinary day. Several of our problems have been solved, several of our wishes granted, and it seems that this may be the beginning of a new age for Rapture. Today, Dr. Jasaad revealed the results of his experiment. The Uzumaki child it seems was a wealth of untapped potential. He has been fitted with a customized suit of Dr. Jasaad's design. It also seems that in addition to the many weapons he has been provided, he has been infused with a multitude of plasmids and tonics with, and I find myself hardly able to believe this, no ill effects! The ADAM sickness that creates the splicers that infest our city has no effect on him! It seems that whatever augments his natural longevity also protects him from the harmful effects of ADAM, allowing him all the power with none of the drawbacks. In addition to the Sports Boost and Armored Shell that have granted him unmatched agility, durability, and fortitude, the added shots of Brain Boost have given him a intelligence previously unattainable by those that undergo the Protector conditioning. The ADAM has combined with his longevity to a degree that we are unsure if he will even age at all. He has been give access to just about every offensive and defensive plasmid available. One in particular that was still in its experimental stages, and previously unable to be used effectively due to the immense amount of physical and mental ability it requires. The Plasmid for all intents and purposes allows the user to create exact (albeit slightly weaker and somewhat destructable) clones of themself. The clones carry copies of the weapons and abilities the original possesses. The boy can see everything the clones do when they break down, and the clones themselves can take a remarkable amount of damage before breaking down, allowing the boy to be in several places at once. What's more, the boy seems to be able to create hundreds with no noticable strain. The boy shows an aptitude for manipulating the technology of Rapture and in addition to his many weapons and plasmids has been given a mounted, rapidfire hack-tool to counter those carried by some of the more 'successful' splicers in addition to two custom made security bots that accompany the original at all times. He has become Rapture's ultimate weapon, charged with citywide defense of all Little sisters, which brings us to the other topic of the day. The Hyuuga girl has bonded to the Uzumaki boy. While his clones shall look after the other Little Sisters, the original will be her personal companion.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (153 days ago): Uzumaki's presence has had a profound impact on all the Little Sisters. He has quite obviously become their Favourite. Some will voluntarily leave their Big Daddies in favor of following him. This poses no problem as of yet, as Uzumaki is able to make short work of any splicers that threaten the girls. The girls have begun calling him 'Big Brother', a name that seems to suit him. In addition to protecting the girls with a zealous fervor, he interacts with them on a level the Big Daddies did not. He joins in their games, appears to offer some of his own, pranks the splicers, (An act that has come under scrutiny as it could endanger the Little Sisters) and overall, studies the Little Sisters' behavior, discerns what they want, and endevors to give it to them. The impact is not limited to just the Little Sisters. The Big Sisters are acting in what I can only describe as an intrigued manner toward Uzumaki. They will at times accompany him in escorting the Hyuuga. They will swim with him on occasions when he ventures outside. And overall their demeanor around him is calmer, less feral than usual. We are able to perform maitenence more smoothly if he is present and the rate of maitenence related injuries has dropped dramatically. Somewhat ironic, we've kidnapped the pariah and now the Sisters treat him as a hero.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (126 days ago): There was an incident today. One of the Big Daddies became what I can only describe as, jealous, of Uzumaki. Protector Designation Theta attacked Uzumaki when his Little Sister left his side to run to the boy. Uzumaki reacted with devastating force. Against his assault, Theta might as well have been wearing paper for armor, for all it did to protect him. Uzumaki annialated him. The Little Sister showed no reaction to the Big Daddy's demise and simply bonded with Naruto. The Little Sister, Isarabi, who for the most part has exhausted the supply of outdoor bodies, now accompanies the original Uzumaki and the Hyuuga girl. Any attempts to seperate the three is met with extreme aggression on Uzumaki's part. She will not accept a clone and Uzumaki does not endevor to make her. It has been decided by the higher ups to 'leave them be'.
Log of one Kasandra Marco (7 days ago): It has become glaringly obvious that Uzumaki is the Favourite of the Sisters. All Little Sisters have abandoned their Big Daddies in favor of Uzumaki. Any Big Daddies that attempt to resist the transition are subsequently destroyed by Uzumaki. In addition to being destroyed by Uzumaki himself, some of the Big Daddies were destroyed by Big Sisters who leapt to Uzumaki's defense. Even though it was obvious he could have handled it himself, he showed no inclination to discourage the Big Sisters' behavior. The 'smarter' Big Daddies have submitted to the change and have been relegated to repair and maintence of Rapture's damaged areas. The boy is now responsible for all the Little Sisters. He has become the Favourite of Rapture, favoured by the Little Sisters, The Big Sisters, and the ADAM itself.
