This chapter is dedicated to Armadillo Bile who inspired me to write after he/she had dedicated a chapter to me in his/her story. GO READ IT, IT'S VERY GOOD! It's called "How did your debts get paid", if you can't locate it, you'll be able to find it in my Favorite Stories tab in my profile.

Also, I updated the list of worlds Booker and Elizabeth are to visit with a lot of requests I was still considering. Though it's strange I forgot to add Half-Life in, considering it's my favourite game and I had already visualized a dozen different scenarios where Booker and Elizabeth go to Black Mesa or City 17.

Booker has been to many places.

In his time as a child, he saw what the white people could do to the Indian people, and he regretted having parents that came from both societies.

In his time in the army, he saw many beautiful forests, creeks, rivers, lakes, and so forth.

In his time in New York, he saw the good parts and the bad parts of humans.

In his time in Columbia, he saw that what looks like a utopia, is most likely not a utopia.

In his time with Elizabeth, he saw that he could undo all the bad things that had happened to both of them.

But this was his first time in a giant cornfield with absolutely nothing on the horizon, except for a tiny little shed.

"Where the hell are we?"

"I still don't know."

"What happened to those omnipotent powers of yours?"

Elizabeth simply huffed at what her father had said, and continued onwards towards the shed. She truly wasn't sure what kind of universe this was, but so far, it was definitely the most boring. After quite some time of walking, they finally stumbled across what must have been the smallest shed ever made.

Booker grabbed the door handle and yanked in it, but the door wouldn't budge. He kept his hand on the handle whilst he turned and spoke to Elizabeth.

"So, what now?"

"I don't know, should we leave?"

That must have been the magical words, because as she said 'leave', the door to the shed opened. Booker almost fell over his own feet, but with a speed that rivalled lightning, he regained his balance. Elizabeth peeked inside, and saw a hollow cylinder, made of glass.

"The hell is that?"

"Still don't know."

Some of the glass slid away, making just enough room for one person to get through. Elizabeth went first, and Booker went in after her. The glass door slid into place again, and the duo felt hard pressed to get some air in the suddenly very crammed cylinder.

"Careful."

Elizabeth squealed as the cylinder plummeted down so fast that they'd be in the center of god knows what planet they're on in a matter of seconds. The cylinder made a very abrupt stop that threatened to throw even a strong man like Booker upwards because of the sheer force.

Outside the elevator, they saw a giant room that was void of anything save for a few boxes and two men running around aimlessly.

'Hold the balls for just one moment', Booker thought when he threw a second glance at the two men. They appeared to be men of metal, literally; they were made of primarily white metal and a little bit of gray and black here and there. One of them was shaped like a ball and had a big blue eye of glass; while the other one was shaped like a bullet (at least to Booker it was a bullet kind of shape) and had an orange eye.

'Definitely the weirdest place so far'.

Both Booker and Elizabeth could suddenly hear a strange feminine voice cut through the air, it was as if it came from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

"Blue, Orange, I know that you're still in the state where I have to program your artificial intelligences to be smarter, but I cannot do that if you do not pass the calibration test. So would you kindly put the box on the button and be finished before I throw you in the incinerator, reassemble you, and throw you in the incinerator again? That was all, thank you."

The elevator suddenly started moving downwards again, this time Elizabeth held on to both the railing inside the elevator and Booker, slightly afraid that it might abruptly stop again. It continued going downwards, and Booker started wondering if they were entering the deepest bowels of hell, but quickly pushed those thoughts away when he realized that Elizabeth was too good a person to end in hell.

The elevator slowed down before they finally ended up a huge spherical room made up of a white floor and black walls, but the room was not the least bit interesting to Booker, the thing that was interesting was what was inside the room, and Booker suddenly felt like an ant in comparison.

It's another cliff-hanger, indeed. Sorry, but I just wanted to come out with something for you guys.
