![]() Splicer: No! Come back! I want the frosty! Want it! Want it! Booker: Alright, I got the grabber unjammed. Splicer: I want the frosty one! GET ME THE FROSTY ONE! Elizabeth: Mr. Booker: Constants and what-? Elizabeth: Never mind. Booker: "Sky-hook"? You mean the "air-grabber"? Kids use 'em to ride around up on the pneumo lines. Perhaps we'll be able to find something to get us up and over. Booker: It's "Booker." Elizabeth: What? Booker: Just call me "Booker." Elizabeth: If it's all the same to you, let's leave it at "Mr. Elizabeth: Seem to be some supplies this way, Mr. Booker: You read your residency contract with Ryan Industries? "In perpetuity." We're all buried at sea. Booker: What's that? Elizabeth: Burial at sea. Elizabeth: Takes a cold son of a bitch to do that to a living person. ![]() Now they're down there, spliced up and wild. Fontaine had amassed something near an army. Elizabeth: How many people do you suppose Ryan's got locked up in that place? Booker: Enough. You'll find your little bird in the housewares department. I merely provide a service to those who have the means to pay. Why would Cohen have sent Sally there? Booker: I don't know. Booker: Cohen? Cohen PA: I'm sending you to find your.young one. Elizabeth: I thought- Cohen PA: Pain and beauty. Elizabeth: You were dreaming.you kept saying your daughter's name, Sally. Dewitt! Are you alright? Booker: I'm fine. Left unexplored is the question of how an Elizabeth can exist at all after Booker's fateful decision at the end of BioShock Infinite, though I suspect the answer revolves around Rosalind and Robert Lutece - the quantum superpositioned twins who narrate the original game.Later, Booker awakens to Elizabeth's voice.] Elizabeth: Mr. Elizabeth - at least, this universe's version of her - is intimately connected to the events that put BioShock's Jack on a plane over the North Atlantic. The last chapters of Burial At Sea Part 2 bring the plot of the DLC full circle, connecting it intimately with the larger BioShock Universe. Columbia, floating in the clouds, has no easy way to retrieve the stem cells that make the Vigor/Plasmid economy tick - and even Columbia's technology pales in comparison with what's available in Rapture. At one point in the DLC, Fink remarks that the costs of these deep sea diving expeditions to retrieve ADAM are absolutely ruinous. While no direct remarks are made on this (and the religion of Columbia, with its portrayal of Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin as angels could only loosely be considered Christian), there are cultural and economic factors in play between the two cities. The two men worked together (or stole from each other whenever possible) to solve problems like Little Sister imprinting, Songbird's manufacture, and the Vigor / Plasmid problem.Ĭolumbia, meanwhile, is built on the kind of hyper-Christian mentality that emphasized tolerance and moderation in all things - including the use of alcohol, drugs, and by extension, Vigors. The tears she created in time allowed Jeremiah Fink of 1894 to collaborate with Yi Suchong in the 1950s. It's a great trip down memory lane and it's worth picking up for that reason alone.īurial at Sea explains how so many common cultural facets connected the two cities across time and space - and it's Elizabeth's fault. This is the BioShock sequel that we never got - call it "Return to Rapture" - and it's marvelous to see the city with a new engine seven years after the original game (none of the characters from BioShock 2 appear here). So who matters more - the lives of the Rapture populace, or one little girl? By focusing on a stealth approach rather than gunning your way through opponents, the BioShock Infinite team recaptures much of the atmosphere that made the original BioShock great. Atlas has the Little Sister you came to Rapture to rescue, and he's not going to release her unless you help him - but enabling his bloody revolution will kick off the Civil War that began on Decemat the Kashmir.
