Anakin and obi-wan were quiet on the ride down to the planet's surface in the gunship. It was unexplored and it was unknown if it was inhabited but it must have been. since they had stopped there to run away from a battle in a nearby system they had been receiving odd communications about a place called rapture and how great it was. They were bringing along captain rex and commander cody as well as two other clones,winters and shifty. "ok sir there's no place to land but we're hovering just above the water next to some stairs leading to the source of the communications."said the pilot. "good work. we'll call when we need picked up."said obi-wan as the doors opened and the group jumped out onto the stairs. They slowly made their way up to a light house.
As the gunship slowly flew away They noticed they were on a small island surrounded by water. They had lost two cruisers in the previous battle, they hoped nothing would happen while they were here. They found a door open and walked through, the clones primed their weapons. The clones cleared the upstairs before coming back down. "everything's clear sir..want us to check down stairs before you go in?"asked shifty. Anakin shook his head. "no we'll come down two." they all headed down the stairs. As they passed through another door they were surprised by the sphere shaped device sitting in the middle off the room. There was a sign hung on the wall infront of the door they found. "what is this?"asked cody. Obi-wan took a step inside the sphere and found a small radio and a lever. "i think we just found our way into rapture." said obi-wan as the others piled into the sphere. Obi-wan then pulled the lever and the door to the sphere closed.
They were surprised as the sphere jumped for a moment then started to move down. Anakin looked to obi-wan. " you don't think..." "rapture is underwater."said obi-wan, completing anakin's sentence. Anakin nodded. They were surprised when a small screen rolled down over the window on the door. Then a projector popped out in the back and began projecting a video, a man named andrew ryan explaining how he came to build rapture. "wait a second. A human built this place?"asked cody as the screen rolled back up but the video kept playing an audio message. It was then they saw the huge city, towering over the oceans depth. They were all surprised. They all watched and listened but soon heard something coming up on the radio, some people talking about a "bathysphere" coming up and how "splicers" were showing up all around the entrance. They assumed it was what they were riding so they all got ready for a fight. Before long they were riding up a tube and came to stop in a dark room. A light flickered and revealed a man in a lab coat backing up towards them, away from something that looked like it had glowing claws. They tried to open the door but couldn`t as the creature sliced up the man, finally jabbing it`s claws into his chest and lifting him up as he cried for mercy. Finally it dropped the man and looked towards them. "looks like fresh meat." said the creature before letting out a blood curtling scream. It jumped up onto the bathysphere and started to try and claws it`s way in. obi-wan activated his lightsaber but because of the confined space anakin did not. When the creature couldn`t get in it fled.
Suddenly a light flickered over the radio and someone said, " who ever is in there, could you kindly pick up that radio."said the man. Obi-wan deactivated his lightsaber and picked it up. " yes what is it you need?"asked obi-wan. "oh thank god. My names atlas. I really need your help. If you could kindly step out of that bathysphere and i`ll explain the rest."said atlas as the door opened. The group stepped out with the clones turning on their lights. "i don`t like this one bit."said captain rex as he examined what had looked like a great city on the outside, was a run down city on the inside. "ok what you just encountered was a spider splicer. She still around there so if you`d kindly walk through that door way to your left and help me draw her out."said atlas. The group saw the door way and walked through. They saw a reader board with what looked like flight schedules for these bathysphere's in a metro. "just a little farther boys."said atlas. They kept walking till suddenly an alarm went off, everyone had their weapons at the ready as they saw the spider splicer. When they saw some sort of robot come down and start shooting at it they relaxed. "yeah how do you like that you dirty splicer." yelled atlas over the radio. They all made their way over the fallen pillar. "damn splicer..sealed johnny in. could you pick up something up, break down that...or do that."said atlas as he watched anakin activate his lightsaber and cut through the fallen piece of the door over the security camera. As they crouched and made their way through the doorway another splicer yelled something and a flaming couch was sent flying towards them. Both anakin and obi-wan sliced through the couch. None of them were hurt. They made their way up the stair, winters and shifty took the lead. Once up there immediately winters fired off two shots, taking down another splicer. "wow..where are you boys from...never mind that doesn`t matter. Would one of you kindly head up stairs and pick up that plasmid. Be careful, first time plasmid's a real kick." Said atlas.
The group went up the second flight of stairs and saw something called a gatherers garden. "just take the plasmids and inject it into your blood stream. stay cool though your genetic code will be rewritten."said atlas. The group looked amongst one another. Finally captain rex stepped forward. "i`ll do it." said captain rex as he took the large syringe. And pulled off his glove. The group stepped back from him. He took a moment but eventually jammed the needle into his wrist, injecting the serum into his veins. He started gasping, flexing his hands as they both started sparking. He took a step forward, staggering for a moment before falling forward after passing out. The group caught him before hearing a couple of splicers coming nearby. The two jedi dragged rex away while the clones took up defensive positions. The splicers searched the area but went away when a large stomping sound could be heard. The clones quickly hid as a little girl with a very large needle walked past them with a very large person coming behind her in some sort of suit. "holy shit...what the hell is that?"asked winters as he saw the huge drill on the huge person's right arm. "hold your position winters. As long as we don't provoke it it won't hurt us."said cody. Just like he said the girl and the person left after a while. Soon after rex woke up. "wow...that was one hell of a kick."said rex as he flexed his hands. Even with his gloves on his hands sparked. "atlas what was this thing with the drill?"asked obi-wan. "that was a big daddy. Best put away your weapons around them. They protect the little sisters. Some evil person went and turned a sweet little girl into a monster. They go around rapture collecting adam, the genetic material that keeps rapture going."said atlas as the group went back down the stairs and towards a metal door.
"ok now that you have your first plasmid and you've seen what raptures like I need to ask you a big favor. I have a wife a child stuck down in submarine down in neptunes bounty. If you can get down there in time maybe..just maybe I can see my lovely wife and child again. Could you kindly do this for me?"asked atlas. Cody meanwhile tried to reach the gunship. Obi-wan and anakin thought. Anakin meanwhile thought of what he would do if padme was in the same situation. " I say we help him."said anakin. Cody nodded. " I can`t reach the admiral and i`m not sure if that bathysphere is a two way ticket. it`d be best if we kept moving forward. Hopefully we'll find another way out."said cody. Obi-wan nodded. " ok atlas we'll help. Where should we go next?" "there should be a door in front of you. Go through there and just follow your way to fleet halls. i`ll talk you through more once you get there."said atlas.
