*^= Special Radio message(that only happens when you take to long to do something you're supposed to do.)
So Alexander is back, albeit he's nuts now, like Delta I really don't feel that badly for him...you might but I don't. He's very annoying all throughout this level, speaking of which after this level there's only one left(remember though that each level has a lot of places you need to go or explore so don't get too excited) which means that this fanfic will be over soon...I have mixed emotions about this.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 38: Fontaine Futuristics, The Crazy Doctor, Interference
I felt an on sense of déjà vu as the train pulled into the station, though it had been mostly in the years where I was a brainwashed Big Daddy I still was able to use my recovered mental abilities to remember the Fontaine Futuristics station.
**"This is it, chief, end of the line. If I'm right, Eleanor's momma's usin' ADAM to force all of Rapture's minds and memories into the poor girl. Lamb reckons it'll make that child a saint. Now, Eleanor's in a deep dark place beneath Fontaine Headquarters, and to keep you alive we need to sneak in an' find her. " Sinclair said over my radio, sounding like he actually did feel bad for Eleanor, as I stepped of the train.
"Eleanor...I'm coming sweetheart I promise." I said with a shiver as I started to take a quick look around the familiar station.
Wondering around over to the ticket booth I was the slightest bit disappointed to see that there was nothing in it, seeing nothing else to explore I decided that it was time to move on. Making my way over to the door that led in and out of the station I went through it, as I went through the door the first thing I saw was a diary sitting on a crate and decided to lay it before moving on again.
**"This facility belongs to the city now - to Ryan Industries... at least until the rioting subsides. While it is unfortunate that such measures had to be taken... I must admit, it is gratifying to see this building condemned. Fontaine is gone. Lamb is gone... or close enough. I am alone at last... alone with my city." the voice of Andrew Ryan said sounding very relieved.
"Well apparently you weren't alone after all." I said unable to stop myself from chuckling as I started walking again.
Seeing a staircase by the balcony I decided to go down, halfway down however I saw a Splicer standing in front of a vent that'd been turned into in a shrine. Like others I'd seen by these vent shrines she was kneeling and had no idea I was near, deciding to take advantage of this i quietly snuck down the rest of the stairs and dealt with her before she ever knew I was there. Of course there was another Splicer not far by and I had to deal with him as well, once I had I made my way over to a door not caring that there were a few things lying around. Heading through the door I saw a little red wagon sitting in the back ground and made a beeline toward it knowing I would probably get a vision from Eleanor. To my surprise however there was no vision as I picked up the Plasmid sitting in the wagon, though surprised by this I knew I had to move on so I headed down the stairs nearby.
I had just finished walking down the stairs when suddenly a television monitor lit up, surprised by this I stood in front of the camera near the television and watched to see what would come on the television.
**"October 9th, 1967. Hello. (Ahem.) My name is Gilbert Alexander, and by the time you hear this, I will be clinically insane. I am recording these diaries in advance as a last-ditch effort to assist anyone I might... threaten... in dealing with me. My next message awaits you beyond the security checkpoint. The bio-scan will ensure that you're sane enough to need it." said the voice of Gil Alexander as a picture of his face came on the screen.
"Clinically insane? What happened to you to make you go crazy." I asked to myself out loud feeling curious.
**"Hm. Gil Alexander. As I recall, he was involved in Big Daddy development from the beginning. Likely had something to do with you an' Eleanor, son." Sinclair said after Alexander's prerecorded message had ended.
"Yes Sinclair he was and yes he most certainly did." I said not knowing how to feel at the knowledge that I was eventually going to have to deal with the man who had bounded me to Eleanor.
Not wanting to dwell on this I made my way into the airlock and flipped the switch, once it had been flooded the door was opened and I was allowed outside. As I always did, I found that the sights before me were simply beautiful, despite knowing I should get to my next location as quickly as possible I decided that it would be okay to enjoy my surroundings. One of the pluses of taking my time was seeing an ADAM slug lying in the middle of some debree, after picking it up I again starting walking all the while enjoying the scenery around me. I was the slightest bit disappointed to see another airlock but despite the urge to continue looking at the scenery I knew I had to continue on and thus made my way into the airlock. Flipping the switch as usual I had to wait for the water to drain before I could move on, once the door opened I was greeted by the sight of a strange-looking security bot flying away from a dead Splicer with the words YOU'RE Fired! written above him.
"Well that was a strange sight." I said making my way up the stairs and toward the body.
After gathering the things the dead Splicer had been carrying I decided to move on, I was just making toward a small staircase leading into another room when I heard a voice in the distance.
**"He's stealing office supplies, the cheeky little bugger! Company ADAM, from company stock-I saw him jab it into his arm! Search him!" a strange yet somewhat familiar voice ordered someone angrily.
Curious to see what on earth was going on I made my way up the small stairs only to be greeted by the sight of the strange security bot and two Splicers searching the body of a recently incinerated Splicer.
**"But Mister A..." the male Splicer started to say in protest when he was interrupted.
**"MISTER A? I'm your employer boy! What is my name." the strange but familiar voice said angrily from the strange-looking security bot.
**"Alex the Great." the Splicer said desperate scared way."
**"Oh now it remembers! Too late, my friend. Too late!" the voice yelled furiously.
**"Dismissed! Fired! Terminated! I hope that was instructive for the rest of you" the voice said from the security bot as it shot the poor Splicer with bolts of electricity.
Too stunned by what I was seeing I didn't try to help, I stood there wishing I could just teleport away like the female Splicer had done.
**Oho! Come back to line your pockets with more Fontaine ingenuity, have you? Understand sir, that I am the body cooperate! Understand, sir, that I am Alex the Great! A company is an organism, my friend-I can piss you right back out into the ocean, with just one squeeze..." the voice ranted as the bot turned my way and I saw to eyes staring at me from a monitor attached to the bot
Before I could say anything Splicers started appearing from everywhere, despite feeling a bit odd that the eyes on the monitor attached to the security bot I knew I had to deal with the Splicers before I could even consider dealing with the bot.
**"Alex the Great?! Oh hell, that has to be Gil Alexander, same man who left that message we're followin'. He sounds mad as a March hare now." Sinclair said over my radio once I'd dealt with the Splicers.
"That's for sure, I wonder what happened to him to make him this way." I said feeling very shocked and confused as I looked around and noticed that the security bot with the monitor attached as gone.
After hacking into a Circus of Values machine near the body of the poor dead Splicer I decided to take a quick look around the lobby before I headed up some nearby stairs. Heading past a fountain with a giant globe inside it I went behind a wall nearby and discovered a first aid station, once I'd hacked it I continued walking not needing to use it right away. Heading past a vent I didn't see anything else to explore and started making my way up the stairs, seeing a door I knew that was the way I was supposed to go but decided to explore the balcony before going through it. Very quickly I was glad I had done so because I discovered some ammo on one side, not seeing anything on the other side I finally made my way over to the door. Knowing I had no choice I flipped a switch near the door only to hear an automated voice come on the intercom.
**"Initiating bio-scan." the automated voice said calmly causing my to turn around and look up to see a camera that was apparently scanning me.
**"Identifying clearance level...Identfied: Clinical Trial Subject, Classification: Protector, Designation: Delta. Status: Deceased. Error. Updating Status...please stand by..." the automated voice said skipping a bit but nonetheless still scanning me.
"Well darn this isn't good, hopefully this doesn't take long." I said groaning at the fact that I had befuddled the security system and now it had to update.
Of course I became even more annoyed as Alexander's bot showed up through a hole in the wall near the entrance.
**"What's this? My security vouches for you! Delta eh...you're one of our old Protectors, yes? You're a fine product, Delta! Fine product! Built to last. Say, don't look now, but I believe one of your old colleagues wants to welcome you back to the office!" Alexander said sounding surprised at first before suddenly his tone changed as his bot flew toward me for a moment before slowly starting to head back toward the hole.
Knowing this was not going be good I was even les discouraged when i heard a loud roar in the distance, also the fact that it shook the whole room and cause Alexander's bot to fly away was not encouraging. Before I could blink something had leapt down from the hole and landed with a thud on the ground, as the dust around this something cleared it didn't take long for me to realize what it was I was looking at.
"Oh my god, it's another Alpha Series." I said feeling shocked to see one of my own models have not seen one before now and having thought I was the last one.
Of course it was obvious very quickly that this Alpha series was very different then I was, when it came to other Big Daddies I could still sense the man that had once been there but with this Alpha series...all I could sense was the controled beast he'd become. Sadly I was unable to take time to feel bad for him as he immediately started firing at me with a grenade launcher, with no drill to get me with he kept his distance as possible and fired. Thankfully, though rather sadly, the Alpha series was by far the easiest of the Big Daddies I'd faced thus far to take down and he dead in record time. Despite feeling bad for him I nonetheless took the things he'd been carrying, I had just finished doing so when suddenly the automated voice came back on.
**"Designation: Delta. Status updated. Status: Active. Access Granted." the voice said skipping again a bit as the door was opened.
Seeing another television monitor I made a beeline toward knowing that there was another prerecorded message for me, sure enough as I approached the monitor came on.**"Hello again. I… I have been exposed to a massive dose of substance ADAM. By the time you hear this, I will have armed this facility's defenses en masse. You, my friend, must therefore penetrate them… and… kill me. Please believe that if I could have done it myself… Ah… and on that chilly note, you may use the Audio Diary lying near this screen to bypass the vocal print locks ahead and enter the security office. The password is… "Agnus Dei." Alexander's prerecorded voice said instructively.
"I'd almost feel bad for you if you hadn't been the one that bonded me to Eleanor, right now however I'm finding it difficult to pity you." I said to the screen once the messaged had ended and the a small compartment opened up revealing a diary, a syringe full of EVE and a first aid kit.
**"Agnus Dei" the voice of Alexander said on the diary as I picked it up and pressed play.
With the diary in hand I knew that it would come in handy eventually, until I figured out where to use i decided to look around quickly. Seeing a safe behind a counter I had to squeeze by a dead woman to get to but once I was near it I hacked into it like I did with every safe I found, once I'd gathered up every thing in it I made my way out from behind the counter and went back to looking around. Funnily enough I discovered that there wasnt anything left for me to see in this room and instead found a door that I knew i had to get through, pressing a button near the door I was greeted by the automated voice yet again.
**"Please speak password to enter." the voice instructed calmly.
**"Agnus Dei." the voice of Alexander said on the diary I had after I'd pressed the play button.
**"Access granted. Welcome, Gil Alexander." the automated voice said before the door opened.
**"I heard that! My likeness is company property, Delta, just like you are. Don't make me strip you for parts, me laddo!" the current insane voice of Gil Alexander said on my radio.
"Thankfully I'm not scared of you Doctor or I might be worried." I said rolling my eyes as I headed into the new room.
Seeing a locked room and knowing somehow that it was important I made my way around it in search of a door, thankfully I quickly found one in back and seeing another button I pressed it knowing that I'd soon have use the diary again.
**"I warned you!" the voice of the crazy Alexander said before suddenly his bot showed up and started zapping electricity everywhere.
Not wanting to get zapped I stepped away not realizing that I was allowing Alexander's bot better access to the button panel.
**"WHEN YOU'RE DOWN IN THE MOUTH AND LIFE'S A PAIN, WEATHERMAN SAYS "HEAVY RAIN"! A LITTLE BOOST IS ALL YOU NEED, AVERAGE JOE TO HERCULES-STRONGER ARM AND SHARPER BRAIN, THAT'S WHY THE FUTURE IS FONTAINE!" the crazy Alexander started singing horribly while his bot zapped the pannel.
**Access denied. Please speak clearly. Automatic deactivation for 60 seconds." the skipping automated voice said as Alexander's bot flew away from pannel and started to hover near me .
**"Aw, he's jammin' the voice print lock with that awful croonin'! See if you can find someway to sabotage his control of building security." Sinclair said in an annoyed way.
**"Delta...you're dawdling. The security office is well above your pay grade. If you're so keen to help, the restrooms need a good scrub. Here's a clerk or two to help you along." crazy Alexander voice said from the bot zapping two gates which caused them to open and allowing a few Splicers to rush out to attack.
With a groan I dealt with them as I did when any other Splicer that attacked me all the while knowing that Sinclair was right, I had to find a way to end Alexander's interference.
