Chapter 25: The Choices We Make, A Surprising Victory, The Journey continues

How long I stood there debating what do with the girl I don't know, eventually though I knew it was time to make my decision.

Good: Why I had ever thought of doing what Sinclair had suggested I don't know, this girl may not be my little one but the thought of killing her disgust me. I know that I wont be getting as much ADAM as I could but that's okay I don't mind, it's worth it just to know that I'll have saved the girl. With my mind made up I put the girl in front of me, I don't know why but I find myself placing my hand against her head as my other hand holds her close. Suddenly there's a light and her body starts to glow the next I know I'm putting her down.

**"Thank you." her little voice says gratefully as she climbed up into the vent.

*^"Well, our tin man had a heart all along. Personally, I call that a liability - but you have enough ADAM now... barely. Head to the Hall of the Future an' splice up with Incinerate." Sinclair says sounding the slightest bit annoyed.

"Like you wouldn't do the same." I grumble as I leave the area, hoping that I'm right that Sinclair would do the same.

Neutral Good/Bad:(A.N: Throughout the game you have the choice to spare or kill the Sisters and other important people, whatever your choice in the end the differences between the endings only come around at the very end of the game, I'll still put a few things though like I promised)

I'm still unsure what to do but I know that I have to make a decision, though it pains me I decide that its only logical to save some and...well others just wont be as luck. I will decide the fate of the girls I find by deciding whether I need the ADAM and as I already have enough ADAM for the Incinerate Plasmid I decide to spare this one.

Bad: In pains me to admit it but Sinclair is right, I need as much ADAM as I can get and it's not like this girl means anything to me; besides she's caused me a lot of grief.

**"No Daddy no!" she begs me as I put her in front of me and put hand above her stomach.

"I'm sorry, I have no choice." I whisper apologetically before plunging my hand in.

I make it as quick and painless as possible but as I rip the slug out from her, kill it, and take its Adam, I still feel like a monster.

**"Euthanasia, son. That's all it was. You have more than enough ADAM now. Head to the Hall of the Future an' splice up with Incinerate." Sinclair says to me n my radio trying to sound reassuring but only sounding as heartless as I now feel.

"Shut up Sinclair...just shut up!" I yell as I collapse onto my knees and start sobbing.

Never before have I been so glad that Lizzie isnt here with me, had I been in the state I was in before my death but if she had seen me now and known that I was myself mentally again...she'd never forgive me no matter what the consequences.

"I"m sorry Lizzie...I'm so sorry, I can never forgive myself for what I have to do...I can only imagine what you'd say now." I sobbed before finally leaving.

(Back to the main story now)

My choice having been made I leave, I head through the water and up the stairs toward the workshop; I'm about to go through when suddenly I notice that some of the manikin looked odd and I stopped. Sure enough my suspicions prove to be correct and Splicers pop up and start shooting, I ducked behind the wall and once I was sure I had everything loaded I started shooting back. Once I've cleared the workshop I head back out into the ride's alley, I don't really want to head all the way back in the direction I came and decide just to keep heading forward in the hopes that there's another exit nearby. As I move forward there's a large debree field, there's no getting around this one though thankfully there's a door in a nearby exhibits that lead through to somewhere else. With no other choice I head forward, ignoring Ryan's ranting as I head for the door. It's barely open when I see a Splicer, the room has a lot of water in it and since the Splicer hasn't noticed me because he's to busy with a Power to the People machine I decide to make his death quick with my Electrobolt Plasmid. Patiently I wait for the water to start sparking before actually going into the room, I quickly make a beeline toward the Power to the People machine and upgrade my rivet gun this time. Next to me there's a Circus of Values vending machine which I hack into before buying some things, there was also a diary floating nearby in the water and I decide to play it.

**"I uh... met with Sinclair today, of 'SinclairSolutions.' It's this pseudo-legal firm he set up to take problems Ryan doesn't want to admit he has, and make them go away. I could fill forty front pages at the Tribune with stories about this fella, if he wasn't payin' me not to. And he's got work for me, right? I ask what, and he flashes me these thousand dollar Steinman teeth, sayin' this job'll quote change history end quote." A very familiar voice said from the diary.

"Stanley...huh, so you Sinclair and did you...somehow I'm not surprised to hear he paid you not to write about him." I sighed rolling my eyes before moving on.

I was rather relieved for some reason to be able to walk up a small stairway into an area that wasnt flooded, as I rounded the corner of the room however my relief temporarily misplaced at the sight of a Splicer sitting in front of a safe. The poor woman had barely enough time to stand up before I shocked her to keep her still, I was just as quick to take care of her.

Once she was taken care of I hacked into the safe, there were all sorts of wonderful objects inside and I was quick to scoop it all up. Finally I headed out of the room and found to my relief that I was now on the other side of the debree, once again however my relief faded as out of the corner of my eye I saw a camera. Thankfully it was no trouble hacking into it, not moments after I had done so it spotted a Splicer and before I could blink there was Security Bots attacking him. I decide to take my time hiding behind the box and get myself a new bot, both of the ones I had were destroyed and I'm happy to have a new on after I've hacked it before it can fly away.

"Now that things are calmer I can get that diary blinking behind that boarded up wall." I mumble to myself having seen the red blinking light of the diary but not being able to get it because of the temporary chaos.

I don't play the diary but as I continue to try looking for an exit I feel happy to have gotten it anyway, I feel even happier when as I walk I see what looks like an exit. I also find another diary, this time I play it since I was being silly and didn't play the last one.

**"I know this facility is vital to the preservation of secrecy in Rapture. But seeing myself transformed into that... lurching, waxen nightmare... do children truly respond to this? Still, I spoke to a young man exiting the park after the grand opening, asking him what, if anything, he had learned here. He said his chores didn't seem so bad anymore - as long as mother wouldn't send him to the surface." the voice of Andrew Ryan said sounding oddly sad yet at the same time proud.

"You're a strange man Mister Ryan...very strange." I grumbled as I headed toward a switch next to a door that said Employees Only.

I was very relieved when as I used the switch that the door opened, through the glass I could I see where I had come in from and saw another door open to a room I hadn't been able to go through earlier.

"I'll have to go back down there and see what's in there before I go to the Hall of The Future." I said heading out through the door which thankful led right to the stairs I needed to use to get down to the room.

I found it a bit odd heading back down the stairs just to see what was in the room but I just couldn't help my curiosity, as I entered right away I noticed a Plasmid and decided to read the description before taking it.

"Take full advantage of Rapture's distilleries and vintners. Drink to your health, with Booze Hound!" I read aloud feeling a tad silly for doing so.

"So this basically means that I can gain health by drinking, well that's interesting." I added to myself before taking the Plasmid and going in to explore the room more.

"Wow, there's a lot of alcohol in this room, oh well...might as well make use of it." I said feeling amazed at the sight of a dead Splicer surround with alcohol bottles and shelves that also had alcohol on them.

By the third or fourth bottle I picked up the diary I had planned on ignoring, as I unintentionally pressed play my vision blurred and found myself unable to really focus as the diary started.

**"I've got a little dating tip for ya, Jimbo, it'll get you out of that lonely hearts club for good. This scheme works 100 percent of the time, guaranteed. First, find some Betty and take her to Ryan Amusements. Then, ya go to the gift shop, buy her a teddy bear - this is key, I ain't kiddin' around. Then... ya buy her a ticket on "Journey to the Surface". As soon as you hit that first scare: Bingo! Tunnel - Of - Love." I hear the voice on the diary say as my head spun dizzily as I drank more alcohol I found in the desk.

How I managed to stumble out of the room I had no idea, another mystery is how I go up the stairs without killing myself; I decided to wait until I was sober before heading up the next pair of stairs that led covientely very close to The Hall of the Future.

"Oh my aching head, I don't think I'll ever drink that much ever again." I grumble to myself as I grabbed my head and very carefully made my way up the stairs.

Despite my headache I walked into through the front of the door of the now opened Hall of the Future, I had to head up some stairs and through another door but stopped at the sight of two Splicers arguing by a Turret. They didn't notice me, not even as I hacked into the Turret, and I couldn't help but be amused at how surprised they were when they suddenly they were attacked.

The Turret was quick to deal with the two Splicers and I was just as quick to head on, I wanted to get Incinerate so I could get out of this park.

**"So... you would drain the people of their life's blood. Rapture is a body, Delta. I am the voice... and Big Sister is the hand. When Rapture speaks of you, it says only this: Sleep now. Your day is done." Lamb suddenly said over my radio as I headed through a door and saw a Big Sister leaping of a rock outside.

By the time she's done talking I'm next to one the blue pods, I'm delighted to discover that it's called a Vita Chamber according to a sign; I also read that it's suppose to bring back from the dead and wonder how it got ahold of my DNA but knowing that I have to get the Plasmid I didn't dwell on this thought for too long and head around the corner where there is a Gather's Garden machine. I use the ADAM I have to finally buy Incinerate and turn around to leave, a manikin display a suddenly comes on and it asks my to light the mock fireplace that's part of the model.

"Alright if you insist." I say before doing as asked.

Someone, likely a Splicer, had poured oil from the fireplace to the manikins, I found it oddly amusing to watch the manikins explodde before I moved on,as I walked there was another interactive modle though this time as it lights up a Splicer trys to attack me. After dealing with him I ignore the second model, as I head back I noticed a room that I hadn't on my way in, it was iced over but once I equiped Incinerate this was quickly taken care of. In the room there's another Gatherer's Garden machine, this one has different Plasmids in it ans using a bit more ADAM I get a few before I no longer have enough to get anything. Also in the room under some ice, which I melt, there is a variety of rivets, which I collect before leaving the room. As I headed back into the area where the Turret is there was a loud ear-piercing scream, the scream causes all the lights in the room to shattered and I'm quickly left in the dark.

"Oh god, this is going be bad." I groan to myself as I very slowly approach the first door.

As I slowly walked down the stairs toward the door I know something bad is about to happen, it definitely doesn't help the feeling of dread I have as suddenly the door starts ripping off from where it was being held.

Finally as I kind of expected the door was ripped off and not only was it pulled forward but so was I, thankfully I'd had enough sense to have equipped and armed my machine gun before getting anywhere near the door; which is good because as soon as I'm in her sights the Big Sister started to hurl fire balls at me.

"You wanna fight with fire do ya, fine but two can play that game!" I yelled at her before shooting my gun at her and shooting fire at her.

I go through all my Plasmids, on minute throwing fire at her, the next minute trying to to use Electrobolt to keep her still for just a minute, and when that didn't work so well I used Telekinesis to actually catch and hurl back the devil's fireballs at her. All the while I am shooting any ammo at her that I can, she leaps around but surprisingly she keeps her distance from. Finally to my absolute amazement the creature collapsed, for a minute I'm too shocked to believe what it is that I've just done.

**"Holy Moses, son, not even a Big Sister can keep you down! Well, come on back and melt the ice, an' we can say goodbye to this two-bit carny ride." Sinclair says suddenly sounding just as shocked as I feel that I actually killed a Big Sister.

"I killed a Sister...I actually killed one." I said in an amazed way as I looked at the now dead Big Sister in front of me.

Somehow, though how exactly I don't know, I could tell that like me that the Sister was able to take her suit off; I had found out that some Big Daddy's were actually fused to their suits and couldn't take them off. Her suit had clearly been made of a variety of suits, despite it being a bit hodgepodge it still looked better than my. On her back there was a sort of cage, it had bright pink ribbons that must have been put on by a little one because it was the only bright thing on the suit.

"It's weird that your helmet is still red...you are dead right." I said poking at the body as I cautiously scavenged through it,

"Wow you have a lot of good stuff on you, I appreciate all the free gifts." I said to her feeling only a bit bad that I was mocking the dead body.

Once I had raided all of her stuff I finally decided to leave and head back to the station to melt the giant glacier blocking the train, as headed back into the entrance of the part and in the direction of the train station I melted the ice from earlier so I could get the stuff and decided to play the diary.

**"He's gone. James was the only man I ever loved... now it's like he never even came to Rapture. He heard me sing at the Limbo Room, came up all bashful. He liked hearin' songs about what it's really like to live in this town... I think he's been trying to organize folks against Ryan, and now he's gone, and I'm here, singing 'Rise, Rapture, Rise'...scared to death they're gonna come for me!" a vaguely familiar female voice sounding both sad and very scared.

"Poor woman, I hope everything turned okay for you." I sigh pityingly before starting to walk back to the train station again.

Once back at the station I made a beeline for the glacier, I quickly melted it so I'd be able to start train and move on.

**"Outstandin', sport, You're provin' to be quite a windfall. Now just open the train tunnel from the security booth there, and I'll come out an' jump on." Sinclair over the radio after I'd melted the ice.

"Woah okay no need to yell, you're hiding in the room I can't go...you dont have to be so loud." i grumbled as the echo bounced off because Sinclair had was hiding in the room nearby.

Despite my renewed annoyance with Sinclair I went in to the security booth to open the gate, I was quick to flip the switch that opened the gate but then stopped for a moment to catch a glimpse of Sinclair. Sure enough Sinclair ran out from the spot in the train station that I hadn't been able to go in, his hair was black and receding a bit, he was wearing a white shirt with a red tie and greyish colored suspenders over them, he was in his fifties or so and had a slight belly to him, finally around his neck he was wearing reading glasses.

**"I like to look a man in the eye when I give him my word. You and me kid-we're goin' places!" Sinclair said to me with a chuckle before running onto the train and into the passenger car.

**"I had thought you some golem of Sinclair's, brought here to hold Rapture's arms as he rifles through her pockets. But no... you are aware of your plight. Who, I wonder, would be so cruel? To force a mirror on a man with no face..." Lamb suddenly said over my radio out of nowhere.

**"Lamb was waitin' for us! Come out shootin' and start the train!" Sinclair yelled in a panic as a Splicer tapped against the window and more were trying to get on the train.

"Again Sinclair no need to yell, but yeah don't worry I'll take care of the Splicers for you." i said before leaving the th ticket booth and dealing with the Splicers.

"I think I'll go see what you had in your little hideout before I start the train." I mumbled after having dealt with the Splicers.

Sinclair's little hideaway was rather tiny, there was a mattress,a whole lot of tv monitors, the radio he'd originally been using to contact me, finally there was a diary which; just to annoy Sinclair I decided to play and make him wait more.

**"Andrew Ryan. He reckoned the free market was some kinda holy spirit gonna lead us all over the rainbow - and I reckon it's a big fat hooker too dim to spot a wooden nickel. So old Andy went an' became his own ghost, and I whittled nickels 'till I made a mint." Sinclair's voice chuckling.

"I don't think you'll ever stop amazing me Sinclair, alright I suppose I should get going before you complain." I sighed with a shake of me head before finally heading on the train.

With one more sigh I flipped the switch to start the train, despite the fact that I was continually amazed by Sinclair I knew that I head onward...the journey to find what I was looking for had to continue.
