[This lack of chit chat is boring me.]

I grunted, shifting through the damaged halls.

[I know that you can't talk, but still. I mean I haven't talked to anyone but Sarah for about a hundred years!]

I tilted my head. Didn't Rick say that this place had been around for at least a thousand years? Wouldn't that mean that the splicer went feral long before a hundred years ago? Was there another AI he talked to?

[Huh, I love what the splicers have done with this place! Look, the walls are covered with flesh! I wonder how they pulled that off… we can figure that out later!]

I shrugged, not really caring about the cancer wall.

[Hey look! An audio diary in working condition! Hit the play button on that bad boy!]

I looked over at the object. I picked it up, hitting the play button.

"I swear that stupid… voice keeps getting more insane everyday! He'll talk about how great Ryan is one day, and talk about how Lamb is the greatest human on earth the next! Being stationed here was the worst event in my life. If I ever get my hands on that thing's core, I'll stomp on it 'till it's a mess of bent metal! Yesterday it announced that my son was being moved. Was my wife not enough? What more does this sick piece of metal want from me? If I didn't know better, I'd say that it wasn't even Ryan who made it. I doubt that's true though. Ryan wouldn't let something like this enter Rapture if he didn't even make it… right?"

{Achievement Get: Something's Wrong, I can Feel It!}

[Hey, I know that guy. Or I knew him anyway. That was Jeffery Rose, a man who hated me because I moved his wife to another section without him. I had a lot of fun taking his life apart!]

I threw the device behind me, making a splash in the water.

[I'd say we're getting close! I think the hive is maintained by a single non-feral splicer. The queen, if you will. I bet she's in the elevator like a throne.]

The floor was starting to crunch when I stepped on it. Was there bones in the floor flesh?

[He look, a security camera! This is a perfect time to test the hack tool! Just shoot it at the camera.]

I pulled the tool out. How am I supposed to use this thing? Why does it have a joystick? I lifted it up with one hand, pressing the joystick's button with the other. It fired a dart, penetrating the camera.

[Don't understand how those things work. Never have, never will. Imagine getting a needle, then suddenly you serve the Soviet Union! That's basically how it works.]

The camera activated, a green light covering the next room. With a wet tear, a door on a wall opened, allowing two rusted drones to fly forwards, machine guns blaring.

[I guess there were a few splicers over there! Key word being 'were'.]

I walked out into the room, looking at the corpses of splicers around me. I mean, the drones work. Speaking of drones. I grabbed one of the drones out of the sky, ripping the gun out of it.

[Genius, simply genius! Now, I bet you could mount that machine gun to your wrist if you had the tools. Hmm… If you find a weapon upgrade system, I bet I could configure it to do such a thing!.]

{Objective added: Skrra, Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa!}

[Oh that name is a real knee slapper! I remember the day that song came out. You have no idea how hard it is to connect with a surface radio station!]

A red arrow appeared by the yellow one, pointing for me to take a left. I turned, walking into a room. I was met with whale sounds, oddly enough.

[Uh oh, a Big Daddy! All the Big Daddies around here have gone insane without their 'children'. I'm surprised they haven't died yet. Especially while being so close to the splicer hive.]

A creature in diving gear with a hunchback with eight red eyes rounded the corner. I grabbed my bolter, taking a shot at the Daddy. The beast whipped around, bathing me in red light. It lifted it's drill, charging at me. I blocked it with my own drill. I went for a stab with my ADAM syringe, but it didn't penetrate the Daddy's armor.

The beast slammed it's drill across my helmet, making a terrible screeching sound. I slammed my drill into the Daddy's arm, leaving a jagged, bloody cut. The Daddy punched me in the gut, then brought it's drill onto my back. I shot my bolter into its knee, the bolt penetrating the thin armor on it. The Daddy lost its balance, granting me an opportunity. I jabbed my drill into its back, digging through until I hit the floor.

{Achievement Get: Who's Your Daddy Now?}

[Absolutely stunning Subject Thêta! Now go get that upgrade!]

I kneeled at the Daddy's side, jabbing my ADAM syringe into the hole I made in its chest. I began to gather the ADAM out of its body, draining it completely.

I began to follow the arrow again, soon reaching a glorified bread box.

[Just plug in your leg cord and throw your machine gun in the bread box. I'll take care of the rest!]

I followed Rick's instructions, struggling to fit the machine gun into the box briefly.

[Huh, I always thought that the 'only one use' was just a programming thing, but these things burn out after one use. Whatever, I bet they have better ones in that stupid sky city. Wow, I just have to tell this thing what I want and it listens! This is really easy. I've seen children toys harder to manipulate. Like for fucks sake, what the hell is a square!?]

The box opened, spitting out the gun. I hooked up to my arm, looking it over.

[So, it shoots .50 caliber ammo. It shoots pretty fast, so it should be helpful!]

I nodded again.

[Now, Let's get back to our main goal for the hundredth time!]
