The central building of the Fontaine headquarters was very tall and contained offices and departments for most of the administration for the company. To the left of the lobby is an airlock built to provide access to maintenance divers and Big Daddies, containing diving equipment, lockers, and an airlock system. A tunnel had connected the lobby to the Fontaine Building, but sometime after the war it collapsed. The station has a lobby with a large window looking across to the main Fontaine building. The Atlantic Express Train Station of Fontaine Futuristics had a building all to itself. Gil, a heavily mutated former scientist, calls upon Splicers and mad Alpha Series Big Daddies to attack Delta, including every time Delta destroys a relay panel. Delta can then access a place which holds the switch to the secret development labs where "Alex the Great" has his lair. Alex controls the Bot through four hacked Bot Shutdown Panels, which Subject Delta must find and destroy in order to loosen the scientist's control over the facility. "Alex the Great" contacts Delta through a highly modified and invulnerable Security Bot, which mounts a television screen which shows his manic stare, a speaker letting him talk to his victims, and a Tesla-coil device with which he sabotages devices, electrocutes his " employees", and carves messages into the walls. Before losing his sanity, he left a trail of recordings to instruct following strangers on how to destroy him. Facing them is Gil Alexander, who has become "Alex the Great", insane due to ADAM experiments performed upon him by Sofia Lamb. They need to obtain a genetic key from Gilbert Alexander, which will unlock the hidden passage to Sofia Lamb's stronghold, Persephone, where she is holding her daughter. Subject Delta and Augustus Sinclair travel to Fontaine Futuristics in search of Eleanor Lamb. Delta can see the building slowly collapse as Sinclair's lifeboat rises from behind it. These hidden labs contained many holding cells for Plasmid test subjects, who had been obtained from the Persephone Penal Colony.įontaine Futuristics collapses into the ocean trench underneath it.Īt the end of BioShock 2, the headquarters are destroyed due to the collapse of Persephone into the ocean trench, seemingly dragging the building down with it. Behind the main headquarters was a building which housed the true ADAM laboratories where research and production of ADAM and Plasmids took place. This included a small simulated laboratory room and a grand Plasmid Showroom to display the power of Plasmids. The main headquarters contained the marketing division of Fontaine Futuristics, as well as several tourist attractions to please visiting patrons. The structure fell into a state of disrepair while under the control of "Alex the Great".įontaine Futuristics was made up of four buildings: an Atlantic Express train station on the North-East line of the transportation network, the main business headquarters and customer demonstration venues, the hidden ADAM laboratories, and a small wrecked outpost which contained a secret elevator to Persephone. Gil Alexander was the main candidate for these tests, but when the project left him horribly deformed and insane the building was abandoned by Lamb. While Gil worked on the latest Big Daddy model, Sofia Lamb used the building herself to experiment with ADAM's uses for preserving memories and skills in DNA. Per order of Sofia Lamb, he also restarted the Protector Program, which had stopped when Rapture's society broke down, and in response to the failing supply of ADAM in the city. Even after being condemned, Gil Alexander and several other scientists continued to work in the hidden research facility built behind the building.Īfter Ryan's death and the closure of the Civil War, Alexander assumed control of the entire facility, restructuring its security systems in the process to his own uses. Ryan Industries took over its many subdivisions at other locations throughout Rapture, such as the Genetic Research Dept. Ryan then condemned the facility to put an end to Fontaine's legacy. Work resumed until the successful bonding of Subject Delta to his Little Sister, Eleanor. Here the Big Daddies of the Alpha Series were conceived and tested through the joint effort of Dr. Soon afterwards, the ADAM technology labs were converted to design and create the first Big Daddy and Little Sister pairs. After Frank Fontaine's "death" months prior to the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots, Andrew Ryan had the City take control of Fontaine Futuristics and placed under control of Ryan Industries. His business once employed some of the brightest minds in Rapture, including doctors Brigid Tenenbaum, Yi Suchong, and Gilbert Alexander. 6.1 Concept Art, Promotional Images and Modelsįontaine Futuristics was established as a laboratory and business headquarters for Frank Fontaine's technological ventures in Rapture.
