Tales from Rapture: Deformed Flowers
Deformed Flowers
The transcript from a Holodisk discovered in one of Rapture's Smart Lab describes the events that have transpired in Rapture's Smart Lab amidst the Civil War. The Holodisk describes the events; starting with a female scientist by the name of Dr. Eve being pinned down to a wall by a test subject by the name of "Adam" - recently turned into a grotesque Skinboy.

-
-
Ugh, please, don't kill me. I have children waiting for me back home... I don't want to die
-
-
-
The Skinboy stopped for a moment and began to telepathically communicate with the Doctor with an ability known as the "Empath" - allowing communication between those who have a shared connection through emotional bonds.
-
-
-
Doctor... can you hear me? What is my name?
-
-
-
Oh, you can hear me through shared minds? You are a semi-conscious living being after all? Your name is Adam! You were human once...
-
-
-
Doctor... what is this?! Who was I?! I feel like my body is falling apart... What is this body?
-
-
-
You are a Skinboy, Adam... An, erm, next stage of human evolution. You will become a perfect being as you undergo "metamorphosis". Right now, you are simply "imperfect" but that could change... with us together and me by your side
...
As for who you are. You are Adam, a former deep sea diver involved in a marine freak accident when you worked on fixing Rapture's walls. They... We had to amputate you to save your life. I was there, Adam! I granted you life and showed care towards you in that lab

-
-
-
Am I human, Eve?
-
-
-
You were always a loving human since the day we met, Adam, it's rough but it's for the better without a human body to constrain your potential or weigh you down. We molded you to become the "perfect" and "strong" being
-
-
-
How could I feel emotions and self-awareness if I am a Skinboy, Doctor
-
-
-
You retained half of your humanity, Adam, as it seems. You are a sentient being, Adam, with a sense of self as a foundation for your personality and the emotions that you feel help guide you in forming your own morals
-
-
-
Doctor, could I feel pain?
-
-
-
Indeed, you do. Not physical pain as you are built with a tough skin but as for emotional pain...
-
-
-
Eve, I could not explain the feeling inside of me... My stomach rumbles for food, it is hungry. These blood veins surge with Genome - unstable. The monster inside of me... it keeps growing and growing
-
-
-
Adam, though he's in his Skinboy state, sheds a tear from his eye which he could not close. His mouths are left gaping - he has no mouth and he must scream. A Skinboy but feels very much human as his primal desires keeps growing.
-
-
-
Adam? ... Please resist the temptations, Adam!
-
-
-
I can't Eve... the whispers and voices in my head tells me to eat, kill, and procreate. Survival of the... Skinboys. Voices say they must go on...
-
-
-
Eve, why did you do this? Turn me into this... thing?
-
-
-
You were suffering Adam when you lost most of your limbs. We granted you life! Granted you a new chance to restart life itself!
-
-
-
What right did you have to turn me into a Skinboy without my... consent?
-
-
-
Because I know what's best for you! You were worthless in your human state when we had to decapitate you after that freak accident. Why should a "parasite" like you live if you continue to depend on others and live without purpose?! You are worthless if you have no use for this utopia and your only use is to be used as utility for Rapture itself!
-
-
-
I've figured that out, Eve... I was already reading your thoughts with my Empath. I wasn't made to be a perfect being, I am an imperfect being created for deep sea labor and hunting deep sea predators. This lump of muscle mass in front of me... They are a dead weight. That "love" you gave me in that lab... it was insincere. You would serve as a reminder of who I was once were after I'm done dealing with you...
-
-
-
The Skinboy raises his oversized phallus as the Doctor cowered in fear of what's to come
-
-
-
Adam... what do you think you're doing?!
-
-
-
You have condemned me to eternal damnation, Eve, with your accursed knowledge. For that you will taste death!
-
-
-
The Holodisc ends abruptly with the Skinboy crushing the Doctor's head with his oversized phallus and mauling her to death. What remained of her body then dissolved into acid as she didn't had the chance to scream for dear life.
