Rapture

Before his death, the 'legendary Andrew Ryan' had owned a submersible. In fact, he had owned several, but most of them were lost long ago. Sinclair Solutions however, believes that they've located one of them. In Neptune's Bounty...somewhere. This particular submersible was the cheapest in Andrew Ryan's collection, but it was still worth a few thousand dollars. And so they began to search for somebody they could hire in order to find it. Because the area had at least a few too many dangerous splicers, Sinclair Solutions was unwilling to send one if its employees there (Insurance, you know?). Instead, they were hoping to use an unofficially employed 'one-time' partner to help them.

And so alas, Juliet received a letter through the pneumo. It read:

"Ms. Devereaux. Sinclair Solutions has an exciting job one-time job offer:
A piece of equipment in Rapture has been located somewhere in Neptune's Bounty. A Bathysphere belonging to Andrew Ryan. Or, formerly belonging to him anyways. If you would locate, repair, and notify us of its location, you will be entitled for FABULOUS PRIZES!"

The letter goes on with illegible legal jargon. It seems legit.

Journal of Juliette Devereaux;

Today I awoke to the smell of blueberry pancakes filling Dad’s workshop. Which if you knew my family wasn’t a very good sign, you see mom only really cooks anything with blueberries when she’s depressed so I had a hunch something had happened to make her feel a little of. I got up out of my cot and walked to the small hot plate mom had been using since we moved down here a few months ago. Before we took up residence in the workshop Mom and Dad had a nice apartment on a higher level, but when a splicer broke in and nearly got dad with his fly down, we all thought living in a room with sound proof walls and a much stronger door was far safer than any “luxury” apartment. If you can call a one room no bath “luxury”.
Anyway! I got up and tied my hair back into a bun before walking over to my parents whom were sitting the table. Dad was reading the paper and mom was cooking as stated previously. I sat down hesitantly as mom set down a letter addressed to me right in front of me. No doubt this is what was upsetting her.

I opened up the letter to read it; all some legal jargon about a Bathysphere that someone wanted me to find. Not a really big deal, at least not to me Dad did jobs like this all the time and it wasn’t a surprised they’d call me one day to pick up the ones he declined.

“What do you think Dad?” I asked. “You’ve no doubt had time to look over this as well.”

“It pays well, and they’ve already done the hard part for you Juliette. Only thing left is the HARD part.” He spoke. I never really understood Dad’s source of logic but I suppose that’s for the best.

“It sounds pretty square to me, and lord knows we need the money.” I said.

“We don’t need anything.” Mom spoke as she placed a big helping of pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, and some sort of fish in front of me. “We are doing fine, right now.”

“But still Andrew Ryan’s Bathysphere got to say that’s a pretty tempting offer.” I said before stuffing my face. After breakfast I headed out to Neptune’s Bounty to find this old tube, telling my parents I’d be fine and it wouldn’t take more than a few days. Dad made sure I took his hand cannon with me for protection but I hope I never have to use it.

When I got down here, I climbed into a vent and started my search for that ol' Bathysphere.

The Spider splicer held in her hands two hooks. She looked at the pneumo lines, and then at her hands, and then back to the pneumo. She ran up and used them to quickly latch onto the lines. Speeding ahead, she saw a Big Daddy with a little sister on her shoulders. Oh, how she wanted ADAM...Still, she decided not to bother them. She still valued her life a little. She saw a Juliette down there, but ignored her. She saw two people in police uniforms. But not like Rapture's police; not even close. Highly suspicious. Plus, they were getting close to her 'home' or rather, her dwelling built out of cardboard. She landed in front of them and raised her hooks. She speaks with an eery voice. "Who dares to come to my-"

One of the two columbian police officers fire their sawed-off shotguns at her. She...doesn't take it well. She screams and runs towards them. However, she dies before she can get within the distance to rip their throats out. Their gunshots can be heard only faintly from Juliet's position, and unfortunately, gunshots are common in Rapture.

One officer says "Did you really have to do that?"
The second says "Hell yeah, I did. Do you think she was gonna want to give us a hug?"

After a little while, Juliette will come to a fork in the road. Maybe she should try to visit the Wharf to see if the bathysphere got trapped in a fishing net. Or, maybe she should check closer to the smuggler's den in the freezer. Perhaps it was used for smuggling purposes?
