Shaken but even more determined to find safety, I pressed on. Entering an open lobby I found a discarded revolver and some cash in a nearby desk. The revolver was a nice upgrade and the money would come in handy when buying something from the vending machine next to the desk to help replenish my health after my earlier fight. But next to the vending machine was another odd machine labeled "Plasmi-Quik". I fiddled with its controls only to suddenly feel intense, agonizing pain shoot through my body. Screaming and with my vision blurring I collapsed to the floor and blacked out.
Waking up I felt a surge of power rush through me as my left hand began to glow. Without a thought a sudden bolt of electricity shot through and out my arm, hitting a bright neon sign in front of me as it sparked and eventually died out. My elusive friend came over the intercom again this time welcoming me to the power of "plasmids" saying that while they change my genetic structure, these Adam-fueled abilities - scattered around the city - also grant me powers that would help protect me from the more dangerous inhabitants lurking the halls of Rapture.
In the distance I could hear the whispers of more Splicers. Not yet feeling prepared to take on more of these monstrosities, I dashed into the entrance of the surgery ward hoping to lose them. But upon entering I ran into something far worse. In front of me was a massive figure clad in a metal diving suit and holding an immense drill. Next to him was a small girl who seemed preoccupied with the bodies strewn about the surgery floor. She proceeded to stick a large needle into them only to then drink the substance.
This duo was the notorious "Big Daddy" and "Little Sister". Bound by a symbiotic relationship, the Big Daddy serves to protect the Little Sister while she collects the precious Adam contained within the bodies of the dead. Driven to gain Adam at any costs, the other citizens of Rapture, and now I, would be compelled to take such a large concentration of the substance from the Little Sister. But even if I could somehow defeat her protector, would I be willing to sacrifice my morality to fuel my powers?
