[As the gear crackles to life you can see there is a tired looking woman sitting on a stump. She appears to be taking a break on one of the routes.]

Yes, this appears to be broadcasting after all. Very well. Let us try this, little one.

[There is a floating Solosis who floats into view who is probably the one she was speaking to before she looks at the screen. When she speaks it is with a thick German accent.]

I am Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum, I was told to try this device to perhaps get more answers then I have received from the locals in the strange town I woke up in yesterday.

If there is a way back home, I would very much like to know it. I was in the middle of a very important project before I was taken here and I am needing to return to it soon.

However, if such a thing is unknown then if anyone has information on what this world uses pokemon breeders for I would be most grateful. It appears I am one and while I suppose my studies of genetics may be helpful with such things, I refuse to do this work unless I know what the results may be used for.

Thank you.

It was supposed to be.

[It was supposed to be the greatest city in the world.]

You know if the city lasted longer, I am sure we would have ended up with a similar fate. We were brought down when it was built but going up to the surface was forbidden. Material from the surface was forbidden. They were just starting to punish more things with death when the civil war started.

I can only imagine that if such ways had continued, the surface would be viewed the same as the world outside your walls.

What reason was there for building a city like that in the first place?

[mothergoose]

There was a man. He was a rich and powerful man and he decided he no longer wanted to be told what to do. So he built a city underwater for himself and people who thought like him or at least would play by his rules. He brought down experts in their fields and told us to do what we wanted, there were no restrictions, no petty ethics, no censorship. It was a city run by the free market and nothing else.

[Have a deep sigh. Yup she needs to smoke.]

We created his dream and this dream destroyed the lives of everyone who lived there.

[Oh god, who gave Jack permission to have an interdimensional twin.]

But it ended, didn't it? You speak of it in the past tense.

[She gives this a lot of thought before speaking.]

Yes, I suppose I do. This may not be accurate. The city itself remains underwater. Rapture still stands as much as it also leaks.

The city Andrew Ryan created is gone though, and the city, years later, Sophia Lamb tried to create out of its ruins is gone as well. And yet the structure of the city still stands and there are no doubt ...people who still live there.

There are things connected to that I was working on before I came here.
