I awoke in a sweat, i could feel the panic in my body as though i were still in that room. What was happening to me? I mean, really , what was happening? The dream seemed so real. I felt the electricity sore through me just before I snapped into reality. I search my temple for the area where I remembered the shock, sure enough I feel a tenderness. from my best estimates, it might have been a week since the initial shock.But, it definitely happened. That was no dream, it was a memory. I analyzed it, "Robert". Could it be?

When we were heating the educational facilities Daisy had described to me the way she had gotten to Zion. Different from the rest she claimed. The names of the two people were Ms.Rose and Mr.Robert, I sure as hell remembered that. I also remembered Daisy believed Robert to have fallen out of the sky and ultimately ended his existence across multiple times. Maybe, just maybe, there was a link. Maybe, the two people he saw at the light house and the two from Daisy's story were one in the same. It would certainly explain alot. Atleast, it would explain what or who brought him here. But who was that woman from the dream? He knew it wasn't Lamb, he had seen her on the television before. No this woman was much more fierce, dictative, and well to be honest beautiful beyond compare. I felt her lips against mine and heard the tune C-A-G-E glide through my thoughts. She didn't seem to be the enemy. The plot thickened.

I had a good hour to think on some more points that the dream had helped me learn. She told Robert to give me help this time. If my guesses are correct that's Daisy. Now outside of myself and Daisy, from what I could tell Jack, his croney's, Lamb; they had a story here in Zion one that ended in a big problem. But the riddle is why was I chosen to be sent here to fix it?

Never the less, it was a new day and today was the day we solved the puzzle that is Sampson. Apparently from day one of the Grand Opening of Zion there was a mysterious organization that only opperated through the artist's struggle. That being said on the opening night there was, but of course plenty of live entertainment and art displays being showcased. The word got round to a certain score of people that there was a resistance to the form of government that was being established because it would inevitably lead to a tie between the founders beliefs and politics. Apparently this group claimed it was looking for individuals that look for no governance and wished to liberate the people in this city before it was too late. Alot of good that did them, huh?

Anyway, from what Jack explained to me he was still operating as a honorable chair member of what was then known as Zion's first family. Jack said they had caught some wind of what they decided were Anarchist type movements and Sofia decided they were an expression of freedom and would have been welcomed by Andrew Ryan who's name,she felt, should be honored. Even though Lamb herself felt things deserved a structure, she also felt it was important to let the society evolve itself. Well that wasn't exactly the views of her constituents; and while they themselves couldnt stop what came to be known as "Medusa's Militia". Now I know, I agree, its sounds corny right? But apparently these people had such a strong voice from the start that any public votes or cases they put a decision on, became set in stone, hence the name. So, the first family decided maybe they should petition Sofia for some controls on the movement. When the second coming was denied some board members saw fit to take matters into their own hands. Now the founding members of the first family were as Jack tells me, Sofia Lamb, Yi Suchong, Flora Flitwick, and Harvey Adler.

The plan that transpired stemmed from the discovery of ADAM by a young female scientist. Flora Flitwick saw the commercial possibilities of ADAM and bought the scientist and her formula for a shitty price and worked the poorl girl till they drove her insane.By that time the militia was running openly in bars.Flitwick designated Suchong to run different versions of the product. What a surprise when her favorite product was the one that came back with higher dependancy rates in test subjects. What happened after that was a quick spiral. Flitwick branded her product and released it as an all-natural anti depressant. Got it put on shelves in every shady store in the districts of Zion. Well it was pretty quick for people to notice this shit hit harder than opium and Sofia popped Flora with a recall and sanctions on her product until she could prove it had a value medically or otherwise. Sofia Lamb didnt want Zion to become a drug infested slum destined to die.

Naturally, Flora was pissed. She needed a vice on the people of Zion to make them dependant on not only her product. But the designer itself, the Family. Now remember at that time what Flora was selling wasnt Elementix. It was called Adamè ,pronounced ah-dom-ay, and sold simply as a supplement or in capsule form. This stuff didnt give you super powers. Well, lucky enough for Flora, Harvey Adler was an artist and he could sell her supplements on the black market to the artists. It was a perfect plan because it would target the leaders of the militia and effectively disable the legitimacy of their voice. How could a society follow the lead of a bunch of junkies for enlightenment. Now, why would Harvey do this knowingly? Because Harvey Adler was already a junkie, his walk and talk were that of a deranged man willing to do anything in the name of art. So that is how Flora presented the Adamè, as an art experiment. Adler loved the idea and even went as far as telling the bartenders in his public showcases to dose beverages with small amounts to enhance the consumers experience.

The way Jack explains it, the drug came like a thief in the night and exposed a corroded artery in Zion. One that Flora could point to and say, "see, theyve stolen our property and caused an epidemic in the cliques of the art district. How could a moral society follow their lead?". After all, didn't the Family recall the product for the safety of Zion? Only for the militia to bust it out. All the while Suchong hadnt been working on a public product at all. He was making a weapon. Now, you got to remember Sofia is running this stuff as a consumer product and she wont legalize it unless Flora get's a medical certification or something close enough to serve the stuff justice.Lamb didn't approve biological weaponary and to be honest neither did Flora. So when Suchong brings Flora elementix he presents it as a tool this time, says the ADAM powers the weapons and he was able to remove the addictive properties to make medical certification needless. Flora was impressed but she needed something on the market that's supply created its on demand. She wanted the junk back in the junkie. So she had a big plan. Well, by this time Jack had seen enough to raise his suspicions thats Flora was to blame for the Adamè epidemic. She never filed a report or mentioned her warehouses being breached. Not until atleast she was sure that her plan worked. Either way you flip the penny , Medusa's Militia was defeated and now they were dependant on the same family they had preached against.

Jack approached Sofia just before the tip of the iceberg came and told her of the pieces of the puzzle that didnt add up, These were the late days of Sofia Lamb and she had lost her glow, but she was aware that the Family was betraying her. Her grand idea was to host an election. Anyone in Zion 30 or older could run and they would represent the public relations for the family. That is the election that resulted in Zion's fifth and final founder Francesca Fontaine known as the people's champion, on that day the militia made their last known public move and tried to assasinate Fontaine. The shooter was never captured as Zion had a very small authoritative presence. The only known thing is before the shooter fired he screamed at Fontaine, "Hey Delilah, Sampson sends his love."

And that is where the myth started, A man named Sampson was leading the militia in hiding and had found a way to motivate his band of what were now considered unwantables. Essentially, it created a ghetto in the art community and Sampson was the big bad gang leader. Only he wasn't exactly a bad guy according to Jack. Whoever was controlling the militia was building homes and helping citizen. They were trying to clean the militia's name.

Fontaine survived the shooting because of a mixture Suchong had made using ADAM. The bullet hit her just above her right eyebrow. In her prefrontal cortex. Suchong was afraid she would be disabled even if he did save her. To their surprise the ADAM and mixture of Suchong's wonder drug cured Fontaine. That was enough for Sofia to give Flora limited rights to produce ADAM products for medicinal value. But, Sofia was smart it was a temporary certification which required Flora to sign 50% of the rights to the Lamb estate and all production would need to be monitored. This meant jobs for Zion, it also meant an expanding government. When, Fontaine took the stage again she was a hero, and the growth in jobs and information was credited to her. Sofia didn't mind, but Flora did. The way Flora saw it, it was her ambition that had restored structure and growth to Zion.

Then came the big split. Flora decide she would be able to collect more revenue if her businesses were her own and not a subsidiary of the government. So she signed the medical rights of ADAM to Sofia and began one of the most successful expansions of business and imports to Zion. Still she didnt get the attention she wanted.

Sofia Lamb approached Jack on new years eve just before midnight to tell him she was rewriting the family. He didnt quite understand, but she offered him a larger suite in a classy part of the city and told him it would be safer. He took that as an offering and promptly resigned from the Zion family.

The next day Sofia Lamb aired on every radio wave in rapture. Zion's first family was to be dissolved, The new monocle of the Lamb Family came with changes. Sofia was no longer just the owner of Zion she became the savior it needed. She established the Tree a multi-platform research and health facility to discover the full list of benefits ADAM could have on human life. She gave Fontaine the funds to build her own piece of Zion and even encouraged it. As far as Sofia was concerned Zion's voice came through Francesca. The next thing Sofia did was build educational and religious facilities. This was used to give low end families access to education for their children when they could not afford Flora's documentary style classes offered in bookstores. Public health, public education, and freedom to worship. Zion fell back in love with it's creator. Then to tie it all up in a bow Sofia announces her daughter Eleanor will be taking her place as the final branch of decision in Zion. Sofia then went into hiding and began her work on the tree.

Eleanor wasn't as welcoming as Sofia or loving. She started her reign by re-issuing Flora Flitwick rights to create ADAM products for public use as long as all research and documentation on future analysis of ADAM was recorded and reported to both the Lamb family and the tree. Then she kicked Harvey Adler to the curb citing him as a mad man, no disagreement there. Flora and Eleanor had a wonderful relationship while Fontaine became strained to explain to citizens how to cope with the changes in their laws and taxes. Then came Elementix, and people went nuts. Murder rates shot up, crime skyrocketed, and Zion looked like it might have another diseased limb. That's when Sofia emerged from deep with-in the tree facility sporting grey hair and a wrinkled face. Strange because she had only been gone three years. That night to Eleanor and Flora Flitwick's disdain, Adler helped broadcast Sofia on the emergency alarms in the City. It was the most beautiful speech, thanking the citizens for their additions to Zion, apologizing for shortcomings, and encouraging them for the future. Sofia Lamb ended that speach with her most famous words, " The savior has planted a seed, the lamb shall shed her blood, and the tree will give us its fruits."

A Prophecy of hope for Zion and the last public words by Sofia Lamb. When she passed she was mourned by the entire city. Rumors were the militia was even present to pay their respects. The city united for a moment under her death. And on the surface it seemed Zion was once again peaceful and growing.

The truth, Elementix was eating the lower class alive and people were starting to understand how to control the abilities it provided. In order to prevent revocation of legal ADAM, Flora had Suchong fake the numbers of ADAM or Elementix related hospital visits. Then something strange happened. Eleanor had a new aid who seemed to havean answer for all of Eleanor's needs and out of nowhere, Eleanor's interest in ADAM died and she too became obsessed with this tree. The only authorized tree members were, Lamb, Fontaine, and the aid.

Soon after the jig was up and people were all going nuts over Elementix, and in her abscense Eleanor had failed to fund Fontaines public image campaign. Suchong was discovering how to build these surveillance machines/robots to act as police presence but couldnt get them to function as programmed, so he started making new adam products, one in particular he called a plasmid. He then collected near dead ADAM junkies as they poured into the hospital and pronounced them dead. Only he really was using their addiction to hypothesize a theory on how to make his police machines functionable.

When Fontaine found out, she had already been disgusted withe secrets of the tree. Her resignation from the family came swift. What came next was chaos. The whole city destroyed itself and then in a fraction of a second the whole city froze and all of the citizens were nowhere to be found. For the few who survived they couldnt explain why but they approached Lamb family first and were met with aggression and told to stay off their property. Fontaine broke the children out of what she called the seed program. Suchong hid deeper in his labs never stopping his work. Adler is said to be highly addicted to elementix, there are even theories he was Sampson all along. Flora as you know is so scared of the lashback against her products she barricaded herself. Then there is Jack, and he is stuck out here with a brave few souls trying to turn Zion back on.

Im sure there is much more to the story, but as far as I know to bring Zion back, Jack believes we will eventually have to break into the tree. Luckily, Sofia provided him with a map of the new facilities, as if she had seen it all coming and new he would need it. We all had packed well and headed through general practices and down a set of stairs into a flooded room that lead to another hall. It was the first steps, but for me it felt like I was seeing the big picture for them, now to find out my role in all of it. As Jack refuses to tell me why he knows me. I hear a loud set of metal foot steps clank over head and let out a screech. I see the sign above the door leading to "Heavenly Rest" explode and then All of the lights around us go out. Again a loud screech followed by the sound of large metal being thrown. something was here and it wasn't looking to have a tea party.
