"-And stay out!"
With those final words, the bouncer heaved Sullivan out of the bar. As the drunk man hit the ground with a not-so-soft thud, the bouncer slammed the door with a loud bang before returning to his duties.
Outside of the bar, Sullivan's face grew serious. All traces of alcohol slipped from his face as stood up and dusted himself out. There was no swagger or any other signs of intoxication as he walked to a nearby payphone.
Sullivan quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Command," He said, after a few seconds of ringing. His voice was no sharp and crisp without any accent. There was no slur in his voice as one would expect a drunk to have. "Get me Burningham."
He waited for a few moments before speaking. "Agent Burningham this is Agent Roddenberry reporting. I've just made contact with a young woman matching the descriptions of our mystery girl."
"And?" Inquired Agent Burningham, his tone conveying a sense of utter boredom. Sullivan ignored it and continued.
"She was asking about Codename O'Brien."
"Good." Said Burningham, sounding pleased. "Follow her. Things just might get interesting."
Much to Eleanor's pleasure, the drunk man's information was accurate. As she left town, she easily found our destination- it was the only home on an wide open field surrounded by trees. Many stone walls were built along the field, cutting it up in different areas. The condition of the walls indicated that they had been built long before the home had ever been constructed.
Standing a distance away from the home sat a man underneath the shade of a tree. He was laid back in a comfortable-looking lawn chair, sipping some lemonade and looking utterly relaxed. A thrill of excitement ran through Eleanor- could this be Jack Ryan? Could she have the found the answer she was looking for?
Approach him calmly and politely, advised Delta. We do not know how he will react to an inhabitant of Rapture. Try to get a read on his character before revealing your hand.
So as Eleanor approached him, she gave a smile. Manners first, as Mrs. Appleton always told her. "Hello there!" She called, attracting the man's attention. The man put down his drink and stood up as she came closer. "It's quite a fine day today isn't -"
She never got to finish. As soon as she caught a glimpse of the man's face, a memory immediately flashed into her mind.
Eleanor was lying weakly on the operating chair, barely able to stay awake. Mother and Dr. Gil had just injected some new drugs in her, to clear out some of her remaining Little Sister conditioning.
Mother's face hovered into her view. "How are you feeling my daughter?"
Eleanor couldn't speak so she gave a weak smile. Mother was always looking out for her!
"Good girl," Lamb said, patting her on a cheek. "Now, remember Eleanor, you were born to change the world. You are a messiah brought forth for the people, to protect them and serve them."
Eleanor nodded faintly. She knew her duty. Mother continued speaking. "Unfortunately, there are selfish, greedy people who want to destroy the masses. They put their own needs before those of the collective and plunge our world in chaos. These people would barr you from your duties and descend on the masses like wolves on sheep. Although we love all, there is no hope for these people. We can not sacrifice the whole collective for a few bad apples. As such, you must remove these rotting parts before they corrupt the family!"
Again, Eleanor nodded. She couldn't understand why anyone would want to hurt the family, but Mother knew best. Lamb smiled at her response and kissed her on the forehead.
"Now, Eleanor...the following people I am about the show you are the ones who would strive to destroy the family. If you are ever to meet one of these, you must eliminate them." Lamb pulled out an old black and white photograph. "Here is the first one. He came into our city ten years ago, destroying all in his way for the whims of the selfish few. He could have been a great man, but ended up only as an unfeeling puppet. He must be removed. His name is..."
"JACK RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Eleanor screamed as her world turned to red. Deaf to Delta's cries, she reached out with her telekinesis and attacked.
