 Alicen Lamb (A.K.A. Ally)Him confronting her gave her the strength she needed to stand tall and get themselves out of here. He agreed with her, but their only means of escape was compromised. She routed through different options in her head as he lead her to the back storage room. Allowing his large gloved hand to cradling her delicate hand made her blush slightly, but she kept her head down so he wouldn't notice. In the back, a plasmid vending machine was available but that in itself was a risk. If someone takes to much Plasmid they start to become addicted to it and eventually transform into Splicers. Also, since none of them have ever used Plasmid, the side effects might not be what they hoped for. Ethan decided to try the button for the shutters, even lifting his drill for combat, but the power was out. Alicen began to worry knowing their only other option had to be the Plasmid. She stayed by the shutters as Ethan went to the back to retrieve a needle from the vending machine. He picked out one labeled, Electro Blot Plasmid and explained that the shock could bring power back to the salon. As an added bonus, it would be affective in combat towards the Splicers. Ally bit her lip as they both looked at the port under his wrist to inject the Plasmid.
Alicen felt like a liability since Ethan was going to be shield and sword for her. However, she could contribute by voicing a plan and maybe perhaps seeking a weapon of her own. She signaled for him to hold off for a second while she searched for a weapon of some sort. When Ethan broke the back wall earlier, if she recalled correctly, she heard the sound of metal being ripped through as well. Going to the wall, she saw a few broken pipes that laid on the ground and picked up the one that was in the best condition. She happily trotted back over to Ethan swinging her makeshift weapon around. "Now I won't be a burden." She smirked and deciding to introduce her plan. "Ethan, earlier you replied that the bay we docked into seemed like it wasn't suppose to be used. Maybe it was a back up station and there are similar stations like it. It's a long shot, but maybe one of them might contain a bathysphere. What we need to do when we get out there is search for a map. We need to get some kind of heading so we don't walk around Rapture blind." He probably was already thinking all this, but she had to say it out loud to prove she wasn't worthless.

Ethan TaylorEthan sighed as he looked at the plasmid vial he held in his hands, he had wondered why the suit dug into his left arm, but he realized now why. As he looked hearing the noise of the pipe being dislouged, he saw that Ally had armed herself but he smirked behind his helmet port view. Looking back to the vial, he used the strange looking syring to get the plasmid before injecting it into the suit's injection bit under his left wrist. To his surprise, something jabbed his arm and suddenly he felt pain shoot through his arm, causing him to yelp in pain as he dropped the syring after removing it, holding his arm as the burning feeling tore through his body. Almost on que, the small round metal seals opened and electricity began jolting from the now open fingertips. As he fell to his knees, holding his sparking arm, he groaned which echoed from his radio but eventually the burning stopped and he closed his fist. Taking a few moments, he caught his breath and opened his hand, sparks jolting from the open ports before he thrust his hand towards the shutter button and it jolted to life, powered on and soon the shutters began lifting. He shook his hand as the ports closed, "I can see why they talked about these plasmids but holy crap, that first hit sucks." he stated as he would go about grabbing the drill and clicked on the suit's shoulder lights, examining the room outside the stores. His suspicions began to get worse as he looked in front of the salon, "Thats strange... deckards body is missing." he said as he didnt even see any blood, "Those this attacked deckard, we heard him scream... if what we saw them do to Matt..." he said as he didnt like this but he just went about moving forward, "Alright, if my diving knowledge tells me anything, the docks we came to were maintenence so we need to find public or private docks. he stated as he kept checking around for any signs of those creatures that no longer seemed to be people.

Alicen Lamb (A.K.A. Ally)Ethan stabbed the syringe into the injection port and screamed in pain holding his arm upward. Alicen watched helplessly unsure of how tend to him as the Plasmid surged through his veins. Dropping the needle abruptly, she saw the sparks of electricity come to life around his finger tips. He collapsed to his knees causing her to fall right beside him attempting to reach out to him, but hesitating. As the grunting from his helmet subsided, he regulated his breathing and opened his pervious closed fist. A stream of lighting shoot out and activated the shutters bringing them up. The blueish, warm glow of Rapture illuminated within the store, but this light didn't signify freedom. Ethan cracked a joke to relieve the tension, and if he wasn't in the suit Alicen would have hit him playfully. She shook her head and stood up as he grabbed his drill and activated the flood lights on his shoulders.
Upon inspection outside of the salon, they both noticed that Deckard's body was missing and no blood was spilt. The Splicers seemed far from merciful and if she had to speculate anything, she'd bet Deckard is a double agent. "I think we both know where his priorities lie...." Ethan had to be thinking the same thing and from this point onward they were completely alone. As she trailed beside him, he noted that the docks they came into were for maintenance and they needed to find a public or private port. So far, the Splicers weren't on the prowl, but regardless, the two of them had to be constantly virulent. Alicen looked around until she spotted an enlarged tour guild map. It looked similar to the large maps that are inside malls on the surface. She asked Ethan to shine his lights over and glossed over the different sections. Her eyes stopped on Fontaine Futuristics. "There. Let's start there. Frank Fontaine double crossed Andrew Ryan according to my grandmother's stories. He may had been a criminal, but a smart one, and probably had a back up exit when he plans fell. There may be something left that we could use or a clue on how to get out of here."

Ethan TaylorEthan looked around, he didnt like the idea of being hunted by the things, remembering the horrifying name Sophia's stories had called them, splicers. He gripped his fist, hoping he didnt turn into one of those things. However for now, he stuck close, protectively, of Alicen as they walked some before finding a map. However when she spoke, he unseen shook his head inside the suit, "No, we cant, remember your grandmother's stories, Ryan became so frustrated eith Fontaine's ambitions so he sank that section of the city further into the trench and then Sophia herself said she had bombs planted that detonated that side if the city attempting to have it fall into that same trench." he said pointing out the spots with his large glove, "This is an outdated map but from what I saw, I doubt we will be able to find anything in the old parts of the city, we will have to go towards the renovated and rebuilt parts to look for a working bathosphere. Not only that, if this was a trap set by Deckard, I doubt he would allow us ti leave." he said as their had to be a reason deckard had then brought down here and then shut the shutter on him and Ally rather then spliting off and just leaving then for dead, he didnt like that thought.

Alicen Lamb (A.K.A. Ally)That's right. Fontaine Futuristics was abolished years ago, she had almost forgotten. Some of the stories that her grandmother and mother told would mesh together and facts would get lost over fiction in the middle. She really hoped that they didn't have to do the other option, but what choice did they have. Ethan was correct though, the map they were currently looking at was outdated since new parts of the city have been rebuilt. Their best bet of survival was to head further into those renewed parts and hope to find a bathysphere along the way. Also, if Deckard was siding with the enemy, he'd be likely to keep them here as long as possible. Alicen frowned, but agreed with Ethan and signaled for him to lead the way. As they walked through the pristine halls, she asked rhetorically, "I wonder how much of Rapture has been rebuilt...what kind of places will we find?"

Ethan TaylorEthan looked to her as she remembered the stories but as he thought of her question, he just looked around, using the lights on his suit to keep sight ahead of them but he didnt really respond til she got his attention, "Huh, oh, right, I mean, that shopping area looked newly stocked so it seems they focused first on residential and commercial. I would also wager maintenence areas were repaired to get things running like power and filtration..." he said distantly as he stopped for a moment, "Im dreading why we are here... because I wondered why they allowed you to come. I was happy and excited you came but you dont have much experience with any of the equipment or diving, so aside from the relation to past residents and having their stories, why bring you and well, that Adam I gave you made you act like a little sister, calling me daddy and everything. If thats the case, What if they brought you down here for that reason?" he asked cautiously as he gripped his drill as he felt a bit uneasy about all of this.
