Author's Note: I do not own the Bioshock series, characters etc.

When I wrote these last few chapters I had feeling that they were really short but alas I really don't have anything to add to any of them. I guess if the chapter being too short is your only complaint then I'll deal with it.

In this chapter Delta isn't officially an Alpha Series Big Daddy yet but by next chapter he will be. You know even reading this now and editing up a bit I still find it strange; I've played this game millions of times yet as I wrote this fanfiction, and made things up I found that Delta's story is really quite sad. Of course anyone who's played the game can TELL you that the game is sad but having wrote this it and having made things up gets to a person every now and then.

Anyway hopefully everyone enjoys this chapter. Read and Review Would You Kindly, no flames but constructive criticism/advice is always welcome as are any other "nice" review.

Chapter 14: The Plasmid Theater, Big Daddy Conditioning.

I lost track of time after a certain point and there was no use even trying to sleep what with all the experimental plasmids flowing through my veins. There was no resistance at all on my part when they put me in what had once been my diving suit, they had modified it beyond all recognition and it was slightly loose on my body. Of course I knew this fact wouldn't last long but I wasn't overly worried, in fact I barely worried about anything anymore. My mind was in a daze and I barely felt it as I was unstrapped from the chair and led away, one moment I found myself on a private train then before I could blink I was standing in front of large a crowd.

"What on earth, why are all these people here?" I managed to think to myself as I stood there.

"Subject Delta we want you to demonstrate your plasmids for the crowd, there will be machines that are going to light up...we want you to use the plasmids that correspond with the machines that light up." the voice from earlier said from the radio in my helmet which had been modified.

Knowing I had little choice I did as I was told, almost immediately the crowd gasped in shock as I demonstrated the new test plasmids I'd been forced to take. All of these people I was standing in front of were in too much shock and amazement to realize that I was acting oddly, they were completely oblivious to the fact that I was a less than willing demonstrator. Eventually the show ended but I knew full well that there would be more, instead of allowing me to get a moment of rest though I was led out of what I learned was called the Plasmid Theater and brought into a large laboratory for more new plasmid testing.

Time jump:

Days went by and my day's events gradually became a routine, first I would do a show for large and very excited crowds, and then I would go back for more testing. Very rarely I'd be allowed to get out of my diving suit and would be allowed to rest for a while, eventual I didn't even need to rest but of course I wasn't about to go and tell the people in charge of me that. One day however my routine was broken slightly when after a show I was stopped by my owners, they looked very excited about something.

"Delta there's a scientist here that wants to see you, he wants to buy you and depending on how much he offers you may not be seeing us anymore." one of my owners said sounding very excited at the possibility of being able to sell me for a high price.

"Thank goodness for that." I managed to think to myself despite my plasmid filled haze.

"Ah there you are Doctor Alexander, this is Subject Delta." another of my owners said as I was led over to a man I didn't know

He was a medium sized man dressed in a nice suit, his hair, eyes, and his small mustache were all brown; all in all the man was fairly average looking. In fact if it weren't for the odd glint in his eyes I wouldn't have noticed him; it wasn't a bad look I was being given but nonetheless there was something about the man that made me feel nervous.

"What a magnificent specimen, how much do you want for him...I must have him." Dr. Alexander said walking around me and looking very excited.

"Well he's been of great use to us doctor, how much are you willing to pay?" one of my owners said in a slightly hesitant way.

"I can understand your hesitation but here I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll give you a check and you write down any figure you desire...money is no issue I assure you." Dr. Alexander said handing one of my owners a checking before looking at me longingly.

"Yes this is a reasonable price, be sure to cash this check as soon as possible." Dr. Alexander added signing the check once my owners had all agreed what number to put down.

"Thank you doctor we'll be sure to that, Delta go with the doctor...you belong to him now." my owners all said together as the all looked excitedly at the signed check.

Having gone all but mute at this point I nodded obediently and followed my newest owner, the boots of my diving suit thumped slightly loudly against the floor as I followed; all the plasmids I'd been forced to take had changed me quite a bit and now I was a lot heavier then I had been.

"Delta you are the perfect candidate for becoming what the little ones and my colleges are calling Big Daddies, you'll have to go through conditioning of course but I'm sure you won't mind participating." Dr. Alexander said with an odd smile.

"Actually I do mind you prick but there's no point trying to tell you that." I thought to myself angrily not caring about what his colleges called me as I followed.

"Ah we're here at last, time to get started with the condition process." Dr. Alexander said excitedly.

Before I had the chance to blink I was yet again being led somewhere new, I didn't really care anymore about what happened to me; the only thing that really mattered to me anymore was that no one tried to take my locket from me. Despite having become all but apathetic to almost everything, even I couldn't help but wonder what horrors awaited me when I was forced to start what the doctor had called Big Daddy conditioning.
