Part 3: Angles Heart

Before we continue with the story of what is happening with Subject Delta and the others, there are a few things that need to be brought to light. For that, we will need to go back, before Rapture became hell.

Rapture 1958, 7 months before the Civil War. At this point in her life, Sofia Lamb is in the Rapture prison known as Persephone, after being sent there by Andrew Ryan. She had left Grace in charge of Eleanor while she was away, knowing that she would find a way to break free. But all of her thought of escape came to an abrupt end, when word finally reached her that Eleanor was missing. Several weeks went by and she heard nothing about anyone finding Eleanor. Suddenly that changed, someone in the prison spoke of a little girl walking around with a strange guy in a diving suit, and she looked an awful lot like Eleanor.

Another month went by before Sofia heard any word about the child that was spoken of. This time it was confirmed it was Eleanor, she had been changed into something that would collect ADAM, people knew them as Little Sisters. They always escorted by their body guards, known as Big Daddies. Tales of what Eleanor had been doing with this man did not take long to spread. One person told of a time when someone approached the little girl, and the Big Daddy knocked back as hard as he could (which is extremely powerful mind you), without even caring what the person was doing or who it was.

A few more weeks went by as Sofia heard more and more tales of Eleanor and her protector, she had even found out how the Big Daddies worked and why they were so protective of the girls. With this going on, Sofia began to contemplate a plan that maybe able to get her daughter back, and help the man in the suit. But, she was going to need supplies in order to do it.

Through the use of a few smuggling operations, paid for by the preaching of a better life once she had control of Rapture, Sofia managed to get a hold of a generous amount of ADAM and equipment for experimenting. Sofia began work on a plasmid that would be able to reverse the effects of the big daddy conditioning that she kept hearing about. She only heard more about the conditioning as time went on though, meaning she had to constantly tweak her serum. When she was concocting the new plasmid, she noticed that the substance had a tendency to turn a pinkish color. Because of this, and the fact that she heard stories of what the Little Sisters talked about, she named the new substance "The Angels Kiss".

Months went by before Sofia could come up with a substance stable enough to even get rid of some of the conditioning. All the while though, Sofia had felt her feeling changing toward this so called "man". She began to think that maybe it wouldn't be worth it to have this thing cured, for he was suffering as it was. Never the less Sofia toiled away with the ADAM, sure she could come up with something soon.

Finally towards the end of November, Sofia had finished a prototype serum for the Big Daddy. But, Sofia had become on edge about giving it to him. The stories of his violence and extreme distrust of anyone that got near Eleanor only fueled her decision to not go through with this idea. Also, what would happen to this man once he was free, Rapture was on the berg of Civil War, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.

By mid December, Sofia's thoughts had changed entirely. She still had the plasmid, but decided that if this "thing" was going to be as violent as everyone said, she wasn't going to use it. Instead she devised a new plan with a few of her loyal followers. Then…. Well we all remember what happened that night on New Year's Eve. And that plasmid had been sitting with Sofia all that time, and never had a purpose until just then.

Now, the next needle doesn't require as much explaining. This was a new plasmid being developed at the time by Ryan's scientists. This particular plasmid was intended to work much like a healing agent, almost like pure ADAM. What made it different though, was the fact that it could heal very fast, from the outside of the body, and this inside, like healing internal bleeding for example. Unfortunately before this plasmid could be put into production, the war had erupted. Sofia had somehow managed to get a hold of one of them after Ryan's death.

So all along Sofia had a way to cure Delta, but never used it because of her quest for what she thought was a perfect world, and her inability to admit she was wrong about him. But now she had given it to him, as much as she didn't want to, she knew it would be the right thing to do now. And now we will rejoin our friends topside.


End part 3: ok so we will get back to whats happening with the bunch on the sub, I just thought you might like an explanation. You guys hang tight, I'll get the next one in as soon as I can.
