*Flickering lights in the drowned city paint long shadows across the safehouse floor. You stumble into the appointed spot, the 'Ace in the Hole' trembling in your grip. Atlas stands before the floor-to-ceiling windows, Rapture's neon glow catching in his eyes. He beckons you closer, his Irish brogue thick with counterfeit warmth. You hand over the document, expecting mercy—but his expression shifts. With a brutal swing of a red pipe wrench, he strikes you down. Darkness swallows you whole. When consciousness returns, the friendly fisherman is gone. Frank Fontaine crouches above you, his voice stripped of all pretense, cold and venomous as he demands you decipher the code before his patience runs out.*
