This seems to be a sitting area of patients; there is a nurse's station a few feet away. There is no nurse or any other sign of life readily apparent, and the lights down the hall are flickering on and off. As with Alpha Team, there are several normal-looking posters and advertisements for tonics and Dr. Steinman's practice, as well as music that seems to be from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

"Jim: Hey, Mary, why so down in the mouth?
Mary: I don't know, Jim. I guess I just don't know how I feel about those Little Sisters.
Jim: The Little Sisters? Gee, don't you know they're the glue that holds Rapture together?
Mary: Really?
Jim: You betcha! Ryan Industries has seen to it that they're bred to be as happy as clams while they do the work that keeps us safe from the bandits and terrorists. We all need ADAM, and we all need the Little Sisters."
There's a long pause after the announcement, and then another begins to play.
"Approaching a Little Sister is a criminal offense. Do not approach the Little Sisters."
From down the hall and the stairs, the Big Daddy roars again. This time, there are gunshots -- and the sound of a little girl screaming. "Don't let him get me!"

Harry was a father, a father who had walked through hell, the coldest depths of winter, and a few crystal planes to rescue his baby girl from the monsters. And even though he'd only gotten to hold Maggie for a few sparse hours, holding your child for the first time does something to you.
So dangers be damned, along with all the nightmares in this god forsaken place. A little girl was in danger, and Harry couldn't keep himself from rushing to help.

It was then that he noticed that Harry was pulling the disappearing act on them. Had they not all just heard the same announcement right there? That they were not to approach random little girls down here? Because Isamu and anyone with the ability to hear shit had heard it and here was Harry, about to probably go off and do exactly what they'd been warned not to.
"Oh for the love of...go, go, go!" Trying to get the team moving so Harry wouldn't be confronted alone by whatever might be there or facing reprisals for disobeying the warnings. Sorry to those in front and to Billy next to him but Isamu couldn't pass up the chance to shout after Harry as they followed him. "Ittai nani ga anata ga baka o kuso yatte iru to omoimasu ka! ( ... )

One Big Daddy can be seen fighting the splicer that escaped earlier, but that splicer isn't alone. Nine others are with him, and unlike the ones previous, some of these also have grenades. Cowering on the ground in the corner is a Little Sister"Unzip him Mr. B! Unzip him ( ... )

Well, with that kind of attention, there was only one logical conclusion. Point staff at the things hurting the helpless little girl and shout out: "Falcon Punch!"
Silver-blue sparks rippled through the air as he unloaded a boulder-sized Fozare into the middle of the group of Splicers in attempt to send them scattering. Like bowling pins. Bowling for Splicers, the new sport of Promenade.

His arrival and the Thuggish Splicer's movement away from the group clues the rest of them into the team's arrival. The Nitro Splicers, armed with grenades, look up and immediately hurl them at anyone still on the stairs while the Leadheads, those armed with guns, start shooting. They'll focus on taking the team out before they get the Little Sister, even in the face of Isamu's blade -- these ones haven't fought the team before, after all, with the exception of one.
They're so focused, in fact, that they don't notice Billy shielding her. The Little Sister certainly does, though, and she shrieks again. She's scared. She doesn't know these people, her guardian is dead, the monsters want to get her.Harry ( ... )

Not that Isamu would let Harry know that implicitly.
"Falcon punch? Jesus, the damn brain trust right there." Loud enough, maybe only just, but definitely loud enough to be heard by anyone close enough. Sword still crackling, he wielded it with one hand, the other shooting small blasts of lightning at the downed monsters. "Everyone! Hit hard and hit fast! This is the best shot we've got to get this done without too much damage!"

When he misses his mark, he's lined up flawlessly to take a lead pipe to the side, a pained yelp escaping him as he loses his grip and drops to the floor. It hurts, but he's taken worse blows from crueler adversaries without being crippled. A quick yank dislodges his hook from where he'd anchored it, the implement clattering to the ground as his winch kicked in and immediately began drawing it home.
In the meantime, he was hurting too much to want to get up, but he knew that if he just laid there and tried to get a breather, his assailants would finish him off. In a flash his pistol was drawn as he rolled aside to dodge any further attacks. Armed, he aimed at the nearest knee that didn't belong to his teammates and fired a quick two taps. Should he be lucky, strike true and perhaps even get the splicer to collapse ( ... )

Harry ducks a swing from a lead pipe and blocks the other with his shield bracelet. In the spray of sparks that ignite when the weapon crashes with the shield, he cocks his arm back and lets loose one of the force rings on his fingers. The little items store a bit of kinetic energy whenever he moves his arm, unleashing it all at once when the ring is activated. The built up force of the ring tries to hit the Splicer dead in the face.
"Keep them scattered!" he bellowed, "dont let them organize!"

Bullets and grenades still fly while pipes are brandished, but in the end, the splicers are no match for beta team. There is no where to run this time, and so they don't. They die instead.
The Little Sister is still sobbing over her protector when the last Splicer falls, still clutching at his gloved hand with her own. "Mister Bubbles, get up!"
