Thanks for all the reviews so far, it seems my new story is somewhat popular! Ehem, read on.


Eleanor stared at the unassuming glowing purple hypodermic needle in her hand.

Then she looked to the figure beside her, one Brigid Tenembaum.

"Is this really it? The cure for madness here in my hand?" Tenembaum smirked.

"No, that vill removed the dependency on ADAM to keep a body together, get rid of the addiction, and repair any brain and body malformationms. Essentially people vill go back to normal, but their powers will be gone as their body is basically 'Reset' as a side effect." Eleanor nodded, then looked over her shoulder at the large rack full of empty hypos.

"Well, we better get started, how much ADAM did you need for this again? The remaining little sisters have only produced so much." Tenembaum's face hardened at that, Eleanor had spared the remaining little sisters, but had not let Delta "Cure" them, instead starting a therapeutic treatment simular to what her mother had done to get rid of her own conditioning.

It was still in the process, but Eleanor really wanted to make sure her future personal guard was as strong as can be. She had been planning on making them basically more sane versions of the Big Sisters, but better trained, better equipped, and generally more powerful.

The surviving Big Sisters she already had though? Well, they would need a LOT of hard work, but she was confidant in her skills, at least to give them a semblance of sanity.

Tenembaum had disapproved, but relented in lieu of much worse fate she could have inflicted on them. Especially as they would need all their strength to face this new world.

"Do not vorry, this treatment has only moderate requirements. And as you have seen, it is relatively easier to produce than plasmids." Eleanor nodded, then glanced at the moderate assortment of people that tenembaum had manage to gather, they were some of the last scientists who had not used ADAM, or not enough to go insane, and had managed to survive the civil war.

"OK then people, we have a society to rebuild! Let's get to it!" They all nodded, eager to follow on Eleanor's plans, sick of hiding terrified of spliced up killers.

Over the next couple weeks Eleanor worked alongside the other scientists to produce the treatments, eventually managing to finally have enough to start proper distribution.

After announcing this to the population through the intercom system, many of the more mild splicers started to pore into the fortified distribution center. But in days the much more insane splicers started attacking, looking for perverse fun and supplies. Eleanor personally attacked and them and incapacitated them, forcing them to take the treatment.

While a moderate amount of them still stayed insane after the treatment, Eleanor put her mother's teaching and the knowledge of hundred's in her mind to reeducate them, some still stayed insane and were locked up in a makeshift prison, or the most violent were killed.

This precarious process continued until finally there was enough people to require a decent defence force, Eleanor gathered together themost skilled fighters and gave them a very small amount of gene tonics and plasmids that would later be standard for military.

She gave them Sports Boost, Armored Shell, EVE saver, and Electrobolt. The small amount of ADAM needed for this kept them from getting what the cured now call ADAM overdose. Each one had a full compliment of EVE hypos and health packs.

She had scavengers find diving suits from all over rapture and then they were refitted and armored into normal size Apha series Big Daddy armor. After that she had them armed with pistols, machine guns, and a melee weapon of their choosing, as there was not yet a standard one to give them.

She named them the Rapturian Marines.


After the formation of the marines Eleanor had them start capturing splicers who did not come to the distribution center, over several months massive amounts of spicers were captured and cured, and many volunteers for the marines stepped up, but many were turned down as most simply wanted some ADAM again, as some still had a mental addiction.

Eventually most of Rapture was under Eleanor's control, all of the Little Sisters, Big Sisters, and Big Daddies had been brought together, the Big Daddies being slowly made back into the way they were and the Little Sisters undergoing Eleanor's treatments.

The Big Sisters were proving difficult to rehabilitate as they had gone through so many of these procedures before, but the genuine sense of caring Eleanor sent towards her sisters helped a lot. Only thing was, she had to treat them all herself so the process was slow going.

A few though were fixing themselves quickly, and would be ready to join her special forces soon. From Eleanor's observations this was their only future as many simply were too hyperactive and bloodthirsty to live civilian lives.

The now thousands of survivers were starting to rebuild Rapture, industry getting many shuddering jumpstarts as they struggled to rebuild. Much of the city had been permanently lost as collapsed buildings under the sea are kind of hard to fix, but the remaining structures started looking shiny and better as many cleaners and builders from when Rapture was built originally fixed it up well.

Eventually, Eleaor got word that some familys were having kids again, she smiled at the thought. Luckily people had started using the farms again, she had had Arcadia repaired and maintained and other similar locations fixed up. Abandoned water electrolysis plants were brought back online, bringing fresh oxygen to supplement Arcadia and supply several factories with hydrogen.

The farms started producing food again, but the major concern, what used to be Rapture's main food source, the fish, was the fish farms outside had started showing signs of depletion as the fish were killed by more aggressive and dangerous mutated fish.

Luckily again though, most of the fish of the world were not as affected by the nuclear war as most land animals. Only a few species had gone extinct and most of the mutated species were simply larger. This was good for the fishermen as they predicted a good source of food.

Eleanor declined that though, they would survive on preserved goods and grown food until they could treat radiation and make some form of resistance against it.

And so, Eleanor collected together a team of marines, researchers, and herself to go to the surface to get a real stock on the situation above, and collect any obviously superior tecnology and radiation treatments.

To explain why she was doing this, she told the truth of what happened to Rapture to the population. Many disputed the claim but when provided with several undeniable facts people started to believe her words.


2277-Rapture is slowly turned back into a civilization with Eleanor in place as leader, the city's industry gets a shuddering jumpstart as massive repairs are needed all over Rapture.

The lone wanderer travels to the Pitt with Daniel and frees all the slaves, then takes over as the new Lord of the Pitt.

Before she can get back home and start ruling, the lone wanderer is abducted by aliens after discovering a crashed recon ship. She escapes captivity and frees several other abductees from earlier history, and eventually takes over the ship.

After discovering an alien translation device that the aliens had developed, the lone wanderer converses many times with the Alien engineers she had not killed, discovering the reasons for their experiments was to try and keep genetic diversity as they were a "Milder" Equivalent of the Enclave, their planet had undergone it's own nuclear war many centuries earlier.

Making a makeshift device using both translation programs for English to alien, and alien to Japanese, the lone wanderer converses with Toshiro Kago and enlists him as her personal bodyguard, as he does not want to remain a "Ronin" and she was the only "Lord" left in the world to his knowledge.

The lone wanderer returns to vault 101 and starts a colonization effort right outside the vault and inviting many new people to immigrate into the newly dubbed City 101, using the Pitt's resources to help build new structures and using her now very influential pull with the Brotherhood of Steel to garrison the new city.

2278-City 101 grows and is dubbed the new capitol of Xana's kingdom (Xana being the lone wanderer's name)

The capitol Brotherhood, enticed by Xana with promises of fresh Pitt resources, is permanently grounded in city 101.

Rapture's entire population is now mostly under Eleanor's control, the first new baby in years is born, marking Rapture's rebirth.

Eleanor leads a team of marines and scientists to the surface, deciding to follow the radio signal she can occasionally pick up, justifying it as being the most likely part of the wasteland to not be completely irradiated.

Plans to locate the source of the US navy radio signal are made but put off until later.


Eleanor pretty much rebuilds Rapture and basically becomes queen, we learn of Xana's exploits, and Eleanor finally decides to get more information about the world outside Rapture.

Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, I honestly couldn't seem to make this longer, strange that is...

Does this chapter seem a bit... stale? Or am I doing it right? Tell me if I paced the rebuilding too fast.

People, give me a species name for the fallout 3 Aliens, I really need one. I suck at such things so this is really high priority!
