Julie got a chance to test the new plasmid out as she sent a Scouting projection forward and saw both some splicers and a turret. She popped out a Security Command polyp and threw it at a splicer. The splicer was promptly shot up. Julie tossed another polyp at the other splicer. She waited until they were dead and then electrocuted the turret. Then she was jerked back to her body.

Julie shook her head. Looked like she could only use three before she got forced back into her body. Maybe she could use more or go further if she got an upgrade.

She ran over to grab whatever the splicers had on them and continued to look around what she was pretty sure was the waiting area. It looked like it had been vacated suddenly because there were a few bags lying around that had money in them. Nice. Julie could buy some bullets and first aid kits with this.

Julie headed into the offices and examination rooms. These were fairly empty except for medical supplies, like empty syringes. She guessed that could be useful, but she didn't want to carry around more sharp objects. The real find was some sewing needles and heavy duty medical thread. She spent a little while using it to sew up the holes in her suit. She couldn't go outside in the water with this shoddy fix job, but it would at least make her suit look more authentic than if it was in tatters.

Next were some offices that had faded papers and an audiovox. "Ugh, Steinman is taking all of our business. I know that he's a genius, even more so now that we have something like ADAM, but he's a plastic surgeon, not a hand surgeon. Mark my words, those patients of his aren't going to get what they want from him."

Well, he was right, but not in the way he was expecting. Julie hoped she wouldn't have to go to that wing of the Medical Pavilion. She quickly drank some soda and ate some canned meat before returning to where she'd entered before and heard familiar moaning.

Julie carefully snuck around to see a Bouncer lumbering along. No Little Sister. No reason to directly confront him. Although if what she'd heard was true…

She threw a Security Command. The Bouncer gave no sign of noticing that she'd hit him with the polyp. That was good. She could use this to whittle down his health for a little while, and she doubted any security feature could completely take him down so she could use it on him until he called a Little Sister to him.

Of course she also had to deal with those splicers she saw ahead of him. If she was lucky, they'd consider her a genuine Big Sister and ignore her. If they decided to attack, she was keeping the Bouncer in front of her. Let him do the hard work.

The disguise seemed to be working. The splicers glanced at her, but shied away. What a relief. She'd be able to conserve bullets and EVE this way.

The intercom suddenly crackled to life. "Attention Rapture Family. We are in the midst of a crisis."

Julie blinked. Who was that?

"An intruder has come to Rapture, killed one of the Protectors, and taken one of the Little Sisters."

The Big Daddy was continuing on, but the splicers were starting to become riled up. Julie tried to nonchalantly continue on.

"He has disguised himself as Big Sister to gain your trust."

Crap. She was sure the splicers were looking at her now.

"This attacker seeks to tear us apart from the inside out, stealing away our children who would trust him as their protector."

Crap. Crap. Crap.

"We cannot allow this criminal to continue his ways. He must be found and eliminated, lest he continue to steal our future."

Julie instinctively rolled to the side as she heard a gun fire. The bullet hit the Bouncer instead. He spun with a roar and promptly rushed the splicer that had fired at him. Julie took advantage of the situation to run down the hallway.

She could follow the Bouncer later.
