Demo was completely sober at this point but wished he wasn't. It would be so much easier if he didn't have to think about everything that was happening. He reached for his Scrumpy before quickly switching to water. This was going to be hard…

The bathysphere finally surfaced. As they climbed out of the bathysphere, Demo noted a rather prominent sign reading 'Little Wonders Training Facility' immediately to the left. "Well, that was easy," commented Demo.

Soldier marched over to the doors and kicked them open. "Surrender now!"

Sniper, Spy, and Heavy quickly shot and took down the three splicers that had been walking the perimeter.

"Do try to be discreet," deadpanned Spy. "We have two of Medic's kits. We cannot afford to waste them."

"They know we're here now," muttered Sniper. "Which way?"

"Um…" The little girl looked around. She pointed towards the upper right doors. "That one."

Sniper frowned. "You sure?"

She shrugged. "Pretty sure."

They walked up to the double doors, which opened automatically, and then they were sprayed with something that smelled distinctly like antiseptic. Demo coughed as some got in his mouth. "Ptoo! Gah! What is this?"

"I think it's some kind of quarantine," said Spy. The spray stopped, and the opposite doors opened. There was a camera that Spy hit with a hack dart and successfully hacked before it could spot them. There were several doors lining the hallway on both sides. Spy went to the first one and eased it open. He frowned. "A child's room?"

Demo peeked in from behind Spy. The room was various shades of pink and white and contained a small bed, a dresser, and a poster of a little girl walking with a man in a diving suit that read 'I'm always safe with Daddy.'

Spy examined the room and pulled a tape out from under the dresser. As he put it in the tape player a Big Daddy turned the corner. Little Girl ran over to him. "This way, this way." The Big Daddy followed her. Heavy watched until they were out of sight.

Spy turned on the tape as they walked into the room on the other side of the hallway, which contained various machines that no one present could identify. "Dear. Billy," said a young voice haltingly, obviously not used to using a tape recorder. "I. Saw. You. Waving. It. Was. Nice. Papa. Suchong. Said. Not. To. Play. With. Other. Children. But. I. Don't. Know. Why. But. If. I. See. You. I. Will. Wave. To. You."

That was actually pretty cute.

"There is nothing of interest here!" announced Soldier.

They went to the next door in the hallway. In the middle of the room was a dead splicer with several Little Sister syringes stuck in him and dried blood covering most of the walls, floor, and ceiling. Spy understandably decided not to go inside and went to the next room, which was almost identical to the first room except the poster had a little girl climbing into a vent. Spy looked around and found another tape hidden under the mattress. He put it in the tape player as they moved on to a door with a card reader next to it.

"Dear Billy. Daddy and I. Found your. Present. It is. Very pretty. I left. A present. For you. I made it. All by. Myself. I hope. You like it."

Spy stepped back. "This is beyond my expertise even with the hacking machine."

"Do you want me to blow it?" asked Demo.

Spy considered for a moment before shaking his head. "Best not to catch too much attention. We'll come back if we can't find what we're looking for anywhere else."

The next hallway had more doors. Spy went in one that was another bedroom. He predictably found another cassette. He put it into the tape player as he turned to the next room.

"Dear Billy. I think baseball sounds fun. I wish I could play with you. Daddy doesn't like me playing with others. But sometimes he wanders away."

By this point Spy had found another tape, which he slipped in as he walked to the last bedroom in the hallway.

"Dear Billy. I'm sorry Daddy scared you. Sometimes strangers try to hurt me so he has to hurt them. But he didn't hurt you. I think he likes you. Maybe he'll let us play together again."

The last room didn't have a tape so they headed to a pair of double doors. This room had several diving suits along with a large tube of yellow liquid in the center of the room. Heavy walked over to one of the suits and shook his head. "Too small for Heavy."

"Guess Soldier or Demo will have to wear it," commented Sniper.

"That would actually be pretty interesting," admitted Demo. "How many men can say they've walked on the bottom of the ocean floor?"

"It's in the single digits," said Spy. "Not counting anyone in Rapture."

"I see no slugs!" announced Soldier.

"Okay, what about this door?" Demo opened a heavy, locked door.

Inside was a freezer.

And bodies.

Little bodies.

Demo promptly slammed the door shut and turned to see an equally shocked Sniper. "Nothin' in there."

"But there were-"

"There was nothing!" The lights suddenly started flashing red. "Fuck."
