Authors note: Sorry this took so long. Had school work to be done. Any way enjoy and please remember to review in the end.
The thinker and Charles:
Rapture, Thinker's core:
Sophie, Mathew and Gear stared shocked at The thinker.
"Let me explain" said the Machine using Pearl's voice,
"Yes explain cause so far I have never heard of a machine that can talk or anything like you" blabbed Mathew shocked,
"True, I was design this way by Charles Milton Porter, a very clever man" said The thinker,
"Is the rumors of the splicers true?" asked Gear,
"Partially, Porter tried to humanize me, made it, the rest I did it myself using the personification duplication program, when you're a machine like me in Rapture there is nothing to do but watch the cameras and such waiting for something to happen" said the Thinker,
"That sounds kind of boring" said Sophie, though she knew with everything that happened to her so far was anything but boring and safe.
"True, but I get my entertainment every now and then, especially seeing how you Big brothers interact with one another" said the Thinker,
"What do you mean?" asked Mathew,
"Video tape dash 122039" said the Thinker.
A screen lit up, there was static before it finally cleared off, on the image was Gear working on something then he stopped, and then there was a crash,
"Fred! Brad! I told you no running with tools!" yelled Gear as he left what he was working on to attend the two boys.
While he was gone two Big brothers snuck over, poured something on the machine and did something to it while they snickered before leaving.
Gear came back and began to work on the machine, then all of a sudden it exploded sending Gear backwards into the wall.
"AHA! I knew Gerald and Harold were responsible for the failed invention" said Gear "When I get my hands on them I am going to-"Mathew pushed Gear away and said
"Any way, why do you need our help?",
"Like I said, Charles Porter is here, the military turned him into a Big daddy, but he isn't right, violent, hallucinating" said the Thinker,
"This has Nero's name written all over it" said Mathew,
"Please help him" said the Thinker,
"What's in it for us?" asked Mathew.
Sophie and Gear looked shocked at him,
"What do you want?" asked the thinker,
"Is this place safe? Really really safe?" asked Mathew,
"The thinker core yes, why?" asked the Thinker,
"This place is really big….we need to establish a safe place here for the little sisters and brothers, we are running out of safe places to hide" said Mathew,
"How many are there?" asked Sophie,
"The other places left are Persephone Penal Colony which is our main base and the largest hiding spot, there another place hidden in the sewers of Olympus hights is what used to be… According to Alex Tenenbaums Sanctuary and finally there is a small hidden base on the Atlantic express" said Mathew,
"If you save Charles you can make your base here…I'll keep the little ones safe and help in whatever I can" said the thinker,
"Deal" said Mathew,
"Where is Charles Porter any way?" asked Sophie curiously,
"In his old office, but there is one small problem" said the thinker,
"What is it?" asked Sophie,
"The door has a very high security, the only way to enter is through a dna scan" said the thinker,
"I can try an hack it, I have hacked some dna scans before" said Gear,
"I guess its worth a try" said Sophie,
"I'll lead you to his office" said the thinker.
Rapture central computing:
"Were close, just continue walking till you reach the executive wing" said the thinker via radio.
The group followed the Thinkers instructions till they reached Porters office.
"Okay…watch me work my magic" said Gear as he took a screwdriver from his belt and began to open a pad next to the door.
Before Gear could start tinkering with the wire there was a flash on light, a camera pointed a light at him, a mechanical voice said
"Scanning",
"I thought you said you could hack it! Now thanks to you we will be swarming with security in a matter of seconds" yelled Mathew.
The light turned off and the door opened.
They all stared with the same confused look,
"Strange… Gear, are you related to Charles Milton Porter in any way?" asked the thinker,
"I don't think so, I don't even know the guy Thinker" said Gear,
"Humm, what is your name? I heard once that Nero called you…Charlie was it?" said the thinker,
"Ya that is my real name" said Gear,
"Hate to interrupt your conversation with the calculator, but we got this person to save" said Mathew interrupting Gears conversation,
"Sure" said Gear,
"Good luck" said the thinker.
Peeking into the room quietly they heard somebody cry
"I am sorry Pearl! I should have been a better husband!" the office was covered with writings of the name Pearl over and over.
There was a Alpha series Big Daddy,
"Poor Charles" though Sophie as they slowly made their way into the room,
"I should have been there for you, for you and my little child" he continued to cry.
Sophie made a step, the floors creak.
The Big daddy looked
"What is thi-, the Nazi!" with that the yellow helmet turned red.
"Oh boy" said Gear, no sooner the big daddy took out the rivet gun and began to shoot, automatically Sophie dropped to the floor narrowly dodging the shots.
Mathew snapped his hands, they began to glow red and flames appeared and began to shoot fire at the Big daddy, getting angrier the big daddy shot electrovolt at them and used his drill if they tried to get close enough.
Sophie grabbed the pouch Gear had, took a handful of marbles and threw them at the Big daddy. Growling it tried to use its drill_.
Dodging the Big siblings watched the Big daddy leave the office,
"NOW!" yelled Gear,
"Activating magnet" said the thinker.
Before they entered the office Mathew, Sophie and Gear set up a huge magnet which was used back then when constructing the city.
Because of the metals of the suit the Big daddy was pulled in before being trapped on the Magnet.
"Alright" yelled Gear celebrating, the whole group did a little victory dance before slowly approaching the Big daddy,
"YOU! YOU NAZI! BECAUSE OF YOU PEARL DIED!" the big daddy yelled.
"He must be under the effects of hallucinogens" said Mathew,
"Can you help him?" asked Sophie,
"Hallucinogen drugs are no match for my homemade remedies" said Mathew,
"More like his homemade barf remedies" Gear whispered to Sophie making her snicker a bit.
Mathew took out a small kit from a compartment in his suit, took out a needle, injected it into a small vile, checked it and injected it into the Big daddy's chest.
After a minute the Big daddy said "Hu?...what are you three doing here? And why am I stuck in this magnet?",
"Long story…are you Mister Charles Milton Porter?" asked Sophie,
"Yes" said the Big daddy,
"Mister Porter, we were sent to save you by the Thinker" said Gear,
"The Thinker? My machine?" asked Charles,
"Yes the very same" said Mathew.
Tinkering with the magnet Gear turned off the magnet, freeing Charles.
"Come on, lets go to the core" said Sophie.
The thinker's core, sometime later:
Sophie smiled as she saw the little sisters and brothers playing, others watching tv…probably in the only colored tv of Rapture.
"I didn't knew there were soo many little sisters and brothers" said Charles,
"Were trying to protect them" said Mathew,
"Yes, thank you for letting us hide here" said Alex,
"No problem, but do me a favor, kick Nero's butt when you see him" said Charles.
The brothers chuckled in humor.
Sophie smiled then felt a tug on her suit, looking down she saw a bunch of little sisters holding a fairy tale book,
"Can you please read us a story?" they said with their wide innocent eyes, smiling
Sophie said "Of course", she sat down on the ground while the little sisters sat close to her in a circle.
"Big sisters are always helmetless for story time" said a little sister wearing a soft green.
"I guess its okay" said Sophie, taking her helmet she twisted it and took it off.
Regretted it, there was a foul smell in the room; it was as if all of the world's most dirties socks, rotten foods and laundry were in the room.
Sophie's face turned green, she was going to puke and gag,
"Big sister…you okay?" asked a little sister, noticing Sophie's face turn pale and the grimace look in her face,
"Ya, you look like the time I drank sour milk" commented a little brother whom took his attention off of the tv.
"No….I….am fine" said Sophie as she put on her helmet fast, not wanting to face the foul smell ever again.
The little sisters shrugged and heard Sophie attentively as she told them the story of sleeping beauty.
When Sophie got to the end the little sisters clapped and cheered,
"Oh brother" said the little brothers slapping their foreheads or sighting.
Putting the book down Sophie saw Alex going her way,
"Sophie I want to congratulate you on your success so far" said Alex,
"Thank you Alex…no offence but what is your position in Rapture?" said Sophie,
"My position? Let's just say I am the new and improved Andrew Ryan" said Alex,
"Okay, but I feel that I should let you know that as soon as I find my brother I will be heading back home" said Sophie.
"You're not going to help us against the military?" asked Alex,
"Look…I never even wanted to be part of this" said Sophie,
"Neither did you mother, father, aunt uncle and Grandfather…yet they did what they had to do" said Alex,
"You know nothing of my family" snapped Sophie,
"So you think" said Alex before leaving.
