The Creeping In Eleanor's Soul
Chapter II: Kill Thy Soul
Eleanor's eyes snapped wide open and she was once again greeted to the cracked, decrepit walls of Rapture. She looked over to her father's comatose form, Eleanor's sadness quickly gave way to anger. How come her father was always the one suffering? He was the most kindest person Eleanor has EVER known in her entire life and this is how his kindness was repaid? Eleanor shook her head.
'Now is not the time to go on a rant.'
She said to herself. Eleanor stood up from her seat and grabbed her Big Sister helmet from off of the floor. She made a motion to put it on but stopped and thought for a second. She shrugged her shoulders and put her helmet on her back, she was tired of wearing the thing. If she needed the helmet she was more than capable of putting it on within a millisecond.
Eleanor made her way towards the quarantine chamber's exit but before she left she took one last look over her shoulder at her father.
'Father…I will save you.'
Eleanor was not stating some half hearted promise, she was simply stating fact. She was going to save her father and if anyone or anything tried to stand in her way she would cut them down without a second thought. She would be damned if her father was taken away from her again.
Eleanor walked out of the quarantine chamber and locked its doors, making sure to set a code on it as well. She had also hacked a couple of security cameras nearby. Eleanor sighed and worked the kinks out of her neck.
"Lets get down to business."
"Hello….is…a-anybody…t-there…?"
A voice laced with static and…something else, crackled over a shortwave radio. Knowing that her helmet was equipped with a radio, Eleanor equipped her helmet and tried to contact the voice. If there was one thing she learned from her life in Rapture its that when someone was trying to contact you they usually wanted to strike up a deal with you. If this person was indeed trying to contact her in order to offer her a deal if what this person was offering her was of use to her she might consider it. After about three minutes of fiddling with the device in her helmet she finally got a clear signal.
"Ah, there we are. Eleanor is that you?"
Eleanor's eyes widened slightly, she knew that voice. It was Dr. Tenenbaum, she was the one who she contacted to help her resurrect her father and reverse his Big Daddy mental conditioning.
"Yes Dr. Tenenbaum, its me."
"Why in God's name are you still here? I had thought you and Herr Delta had taken a bathysphere to the surface…"
"My 'mother' had me under the WYK conditioning. It wasn't complete but it was strong enough to make me attack my father when she uttered the damned words." Eleanor had to keep her cool but just thinking about what her mother did to her was bringing her closer to the boiling point.
"Eleanor I can break the WYK conditioning easily, what of Herr Delta?"
"My father is presently in a coma as a result of my mother breaking our bond. I am trying to find a way to wake him up, do you think you can help me with that?" There was no time for small talk and such, she needed to find a way to help her father and she needed it now. Tenenbaum went silent for a couple of seconds, the only thing that Eleanor could hear over the radio was static. Then she spoke in a hesitant voice.
"…It is possible that by transferring ADAM from your body and into his directly would result in his body accepting that you are alive and awaken him but your body would need a great deal of ADAM for you to survive the process and although the amount of ADAM your body has ingested from your mother's constant experiments is great, I'm afraid its still not enough…"
Eleanor cursed under her breath, she had thought she had found a quick and easy solution to this problem. Stupid her for thinking that achieving anything down in Rapture would be easy. However, Tenenbaum was not yet finished.
"Eleanor, there are…a select few male individuals that had been chosen to be inducted into the Gatherer's program. They are called Little Brothers. They were suppose to be the male counterpart to the Little Sisters but shortly after slug implantation they go into a homicidal rage. They are just as aggressive as any Big Sister and if that wasn't bad enough they retain some plasmid abilities from the ADAM that they have ingested. Due to the ADAM slug and them still being young they are virtually indestructible and no matter how many times I have tweaked my Savior Plasmid I can't rescue them. As soon as my Plasmid destroys the ADAM slug within their bodies they…die… I beg of you, put them out of their misery. Harvest the slug from their bodies and take the ADAM, it still won't be enough to start the ADAM transfer but every little bit helps…"
Tenenbaum sounded as if she was about to cry. Eleanor didn't know if she would be able to kill a child, no matter what they have become. But despite Tenenbaum's shaky voice, she seemed convinced that, that was the only way to release them from their monstrous states and this hell on earth called Rapture. But still…
'Eleanor…'
'Father…'
Eleanor closed her light blue eyes and sighed heavily. When she reopened them they were a steel blue, they held no emotion, no empathy…they were soulless.
"Where are they?" Eleanor asked in a monotone voice.
"They are kept deep within the Little Wonders Educational Facility."
"I'm in Point Prometheus right now, I'm headed for the facility."
"Eleanor, before you go I think that you should be aware that something…violent has made the Little Wonders Educational Facility it's home. And its not the Little Brothers, be careful in there."
Eleanor nodded.
