Warning, giant codex info dump at end!

After getting over the shock of her own revelation, Eleanor stood up and started pacing, realizing that this drastically changed her plans.

Waking up her father, him cracking his back as he stretched she spoke.

"We need to go back." Delta stopped stretching then stared hard at her, then nodded, it was her decision.

"It is very important, while you were out some kind of temporal distortion forced us and Rapture through time about 309 years into the future. My earlier makeshift plan on taking over the world wont work now, so I need a real army to deal with it." He nodded, she already had a veritable army of devout cultists who worshipped her ready to serve, they only needed to get the rest of Rapture.

"Ok, lets go."

After taking the dive back down and through an airlock, they searched Rapture easily dealing with any opposition until they made it to one of the main intercom rooms. Eleanor made herself comfortable and cleared her throat, Delta groaned and she nodded.

"I know, but I'm skipping the baby steps you know? Makes me nervous." She shook her head and steeled herself, then activated the intercom, the sounds of static and the sudden deathly silence outside showed her that it was working.

"Hello people of Rapture, I am Eleanor Lamb. I have come back from a brief stint on the surface to tell you of dire news. The foolish nations of the surface have committed an unforgivcable act upon this very planet, they have undergone Nuclear war. They have destroyed themselves and millennia of civilization and intellectual growth in one fell swoop.

"The reason I am telling you this? Look around you, look at the city on which many of you were born, most have called home, and all have bled in. Look at what we have done to our poor city, are we any better than the self destructive countries that no longer exist above, are we any better than those who have destroyed the planet?

"Look at her! What do you see? I see ruins! Ruins of a great city torn by civil war, my birthplace is dieing and yet all of you still fight and destroy her bit by bit every day! How can we continue to destroy our home when, even though it is on it's last legs, we are possibly the LAST bastion of civilization left on this world?

"Please, brothers and sisters of Rapture, stop fighting and join me to help rebuild what we have lost, rebuild Rapture past it's former glory, and into the great city it was meant to be. I will first cure your addiction to ADAM, then I will return your bodies back to what they were. I will repair your minds. We need every advantage we can get." Eleanor cut of the mic and slumped back into her chair, then looked at Delta.

"How'd I do?" Before he could respond his radio that he had in his helmet distracted him, then he figeting with a few nozzles on his left forearm and static became audible to Eleanor, then a voice that surprise her came from Delta's speackers.

"Hallo Miss Lamb, I am Dr. Tenenbaum." Eleanor narrowed her eyes, she had thought Tenenbaum would contact her, just not so soon.

"Doctor, what a surprise." A chuckle was the reply.

'Please child, you know you have no idea on how to cure the splicers of their sickness, but before I touch on that more is it true? I have not been able to get a radio signal yet from the surface but the idea that a nuclear war has erupted while I'm stuck down in this hellhole is a bit, disconcerting to understate the feeling as much as possible." Eleanor sighed, then spoke.

"I may have not told the whole truth, Rapture has been caught up in some form of temporal distortion, I watched the sun streak across the sky myself and the shockwave of whatever device caused this. I do not know which scientist could have done this, but it does not matter. Doctor, three hundred and nine years have passed in half an hour." Silence pervaded for a full minute.

"A couple years ago I vould have called you insane, but Rapture tends to destroy the concept of 'impossible', IF this is true, then ve really do need to save this husk of a city." A sigh came out, then she spoke again, more resolved.

"Child, I have a plan I was ready to enact soon after you left to cure the splicers, it involves a machine called the Thinker.
