Ā» Tony Stark Ever since Sofia Lamb had left Rapture, the city had no other āLeader of the Rapture Familyā for quite a long time. Rapture was leading itself for many years before someone else stepped up to take over the position of the late Andrew Ryan and of Sofia Lamb. A man by the name of Nolan Thomas, someone in his mid forties and who had come down from the world above to get away from it all. Although Rapture was in ruins, he was determined to get the city back up and running and for it to be a place to live for people and not for the Splicers to run. The Splicers had taken over long before Sofia had taken the stand and since then it hadnāt changed. Nolan had begun sending out letters to the people above that worked in certain areas such as construction, engineering, etc informing them that they have a place within Rapture that they were allowed to stay so long as they put their two cents in by helping reconstruct the city as best as possible. This was a difficult task in itself. With people arriving in Rapture, some of them barely survived the first few days due to the Splicers and of course the couple of idiots who didnāt heed the warning of not approaching the Little Sisters. Several learned quickly to stay away from them as they did not want to suffer a brutal death from the Big Daddies. The Little Sisters were new children, oneās that the Big Sisters had been sent to the surface to retrieve. Girls between the ages of five and eight had been brought back and they had been conditioned into Little Sisters. Their objective - ADAM. The genetic material that kept the wheels of Rapture turning. Everybody wanted it and everybody needed it. Nine times out of ten, for the humans, it was just getting the ADAM that was the problem. Getting past the Big Daddies and the Splicers was a job all on itās own. The thundering footsteps of the Big Daddy travelled a few steps behind the small child who was leading the way to the next āangelā that she could smell. Another human or Splicer had met their demise and it was up to the child to retrieve the ADAM within the deceasedās body. This lead them to the Wharf in Neptuneās Bounty and it didnāt take much time for the childās little footsteps to turn into a run as she made her away over to the corpse. āLook Mr Bubbles! An angel.ā The childās two toned voice carried the words back to her protector who was not far behind. The Big Daddy was currently scanning his surroundings for any Splicers. Extracting ADAM always seemed to bring them to the area that the Little Sister was in when doing her ājobā. The beauty that was Rapture turned horrible as the child shifted herself so that she was kneeling. All around her what had been red and gold, in pristine condition and of such beauty had disappeared showing the little girl the true face of Rapture - crumbling buildings, death, destruction and gloomy darkness. The child shoved the needle into the corpse, a squelching sound went through her ears as the needle got ripped through the skin. The extraction process never took that long but it always took longer for the Big Daddy due to having to get rid of the Splicers. The Little Sister began humming a tune to herself as the liquid travelled up into the baby bottle and within moments, footsteps and maniacal laughs echoed throughout Neptuneās Bounty. The Splicers had found them and no doubt they were looking for a little more juice.
