[The screen clicks on to show the man's figure crumpled by the pond. A low drone echos through the area, rumbling in his chest. He stirs softly and braces himself against the ground. It's clear a massive drill is attached to his right hand, while his left is gloved. Someone might be able to see the triangular marking etched on the back of his hand

... D- There's no way.

Subject Delta, is that really you?!

[thinkin_man]

Sinclair?

I don't understand. Where are we?

[audio]

[worldentire]

...Well, hell, son. I didn't know you could do that. Would've been more useful back in Rapture.

You're in Wonderland now.

Sounds damn crazy, I know, but it's the truth. See, this here mansion has a nasty penchant for pluckin' people out've their daily lives and plunkin' 'em down here. Doesn't matter where they are. 'Course, my situation is different - some of us ...are. You, too, I'm sure. [He's totally assuming Delta knows he's dead. And that Delta knows he's supposed to be dead too, while we're at it.] But that doesn't stop it from just snatchin' us all out've the ether and keepin' us around.

It's not so bad here.

[thinkin_man]

Are what?

BWAHAHAH IT'S ALWAYS AUDIO OVER HERE.

[worldentire]

... Dead, son. [He sounds slightly confused - naturally.]

[thinkin_man]

Dead? What?

Sinclair. The last I remember was fighting off the two Big Sisters by the Quarantine chamber.

Did something blindside me?

[worldentire]

... [Oh, this is so going to be confusing. See Sinclair suddenly disregard everything he just said and chameleon his way into "oh right I totally knew that"!]

Sounds like it, sport. Whatever it was, you're stuck here, now. ...And unfortunately you won't be makin' your way back t'the city for a while. There's no way out've here. I've been here for a while.

[thinkin_man]

But what happened to you?

This is all very confusing.

[worldentire]

I--

...This is where we start gettin' into somethin' much more confusin', sport. I saw you get past those Big Sisters.

[thinkin_man]

This is all impossible.

What happened after that?

[worldentire]

...Are you sure you want t'know?

[thinkin_man]

Yes, tell me.

[worldentire]

...

Lamb severed the bond, but Eleanor got you back. You were tryin' t'make it back t'my pod, and...

[His voice gets quiet.] ...you had t'kill me.

[His tone is short now.] Beyond that, I know you got out, but you ..didn't make it.

[thinkin_man]

I had to kill you? Sinclair, you know I wouldn't do that. Why would I?

And Did Eleanor make it?

[worldentire]

... Yeah, she did.

...Because I told you to.

[thinkin_man]

[He starts putting the pieces together. Jack mistook him for Sinclair, didn't he? He had to be sure.]

Good. At least she escaped that horrible city.

But why would you..?
