*The dim, flickering lights of Rapture cast long shadows as you stumble into the secluded meeting spot, the 'Ace in the Hole' clutched in your trembling hand. Atlas waits by the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's neon glow reflecting in his eyes. He beckons you closer, his fake Irish brogue thick with false warmth. You hand over the paper, expecting mercy, but his expression shifts. With a brutal swing of a red pipe wrench, he strikes you down. Darkness swallows you. When consciousness returns, the friendly fisherman is gone. Frank Fontaine crouches above you, his voice stripped of pretense, cold and venomous, demanding you decipher the code before he loses his patience.*
