This is our best attempt
to piece together the BioShock multiverse chronology
in three minutes.
Let's begin.
Look, I hope you like multiverse theory
because you're about to get a whole f@#$! tonne of it.
In one universe, a quantum physicist named Rosalind Lutece
figures out how to suspend particles in spite of gravity.
Meanwhile, at the Battle of the Wounded Knee
a man named Booker DeWitt is offered a chance to redeem himself
of the sins on the battlefield via religious baptism.
In one universe, he refuses
and lives a life of drinking and gambling.
In another, he accepts the offer
and is re-born as Zachary Hale Comstock.
Comstock, with the help of Lutece, builds a floating city utopia
they call Columbia.
Over time, it degrades into a dystopia
of corruption and racism.
Lutece also discovers portals to other universes called Tears.
Comstock uses these Tears to improve technology
and obtain Adam, a special chemical
that allows the user to rewrite a person's genetic code
to use super powers.
Due to over-exposure to the Tears,
Comstock ages rapidly and becomes sterile.
Using fancy, quantum physics stuff
Rosalind comes into contact with her alternate self
from Booker's universe, Robert.
The two communicate back and forth
and dream of being brother and sister, together.
To find an heir to his throne,
Comstock tasks Rosalind to open a portal
to Booker's dimension
and tasks Robert with finding Booker,
to take his daughter, Anna.
He renames her Elizabeth.
The Tear closes on Elizabeth's finger,
cutting it in half, which allows her to open Tears to other worlds
because of quantum entanglement, or something...
Robert and Rosalind, but mostly Robert,
regret their decision, and help Booker
retrieve his daughter.
Before they can do that, Comstock betrays the Lutece twins
and sabotages their Tear machine.
Instead of killing them,
their conscioussness' are scattered across space time
allowing them to access any universe, at any time, at any location.
For revenge against Comstock, and to help Booker,
the Lutece twins transport Booker to Comstock's dimension,
finds his daughter and kills Comstock.
Booker realises that he is also Comstock from another timeline
and the disaster that is Columbia
can only be stopped if Booker dies before he makes the decision
to be or not to be baptised.
As such, Elizabeth takes him to a dimension
where he chooses to die before he makes his decision
after the Battle of the Wounded Knee,
thus preventing Columbia's existence.
This starts another set of events in a completely different universe
with a man named Andrew Ryan.
Andrew Ryan builds a utopia under water, called Rapture.
It's here that he discovers sea slugs that produce Adam.
A man named Fontaine implants the sea slugs
inside young girls, called Little Sisters
and produces his own Adam-filled army to overthrow Ryan.
Ryan has a baby.
Fontaine steals the baby, brainwashes him to make him obedient
to any command starting with "Would you kindly..."
and sends him to the surface.
Fontaine's initial attack doesn't work
and he fakes his own death, going under the new alias, Atlas.
To protect the Little Sisters,
Ryan makes special guardians called Big Daddies.
One such Big Daddy, called Delta,
has his daughter, named Eleanor, stolen from him
by a woman, named Lamb.
Delta dies, but Eleanor uses the Little Sisters to keep him alive.
Atlas leads another attack on Ryan
which fails and the warfare turns the utopia into a dystopia.
Jack, manipulated by the phrase "Would you kindly..."
arrives in Rapture and finds Ryan.
Ryan explains that Jack is only being manipulated for Atlas.
Jack kills Ryan.
A woman named Dr Tenenbaum removes the hypnotic effect from Jack.
Jack finds and kills Atlas.
Delta awakens from his revival process
and tracks down his daughter, Eleanor.
Together Eleanor and Delta escape Rapture and kill Lamb.
And that's the BioShock storyline in three minutes.
Thanks for giving us your Adam.
