Heroes of Rapture - The Jailbird

Audio Logs of Louie McGraff, Rapture, circa 1958

“Fontaine didn’t bring me down here for my skills as a stevedore…he needed guys who could keep their mouth shut. I look at it like this: Everyone’s a crook of some kind or anotha’, and us guys who admit it? We got a leg up on dem that don’t.”

“Six months locked up in this dirty little clink they got down here, and I been noticin’ some awful strange goin’s on. Like today…woke up, and Knuckles wasn’t in the cell. Later on, the science bums came through carryin’ one of dem metal suits. Next thing, I heard screamin’. Now, I’ve done a lot of bad things to people, but I ain’t never made no one scream like dat.”

“I made a deal with that Sinclair: I get out of the joint if I let him stick me like a lab rat in dem Plasmid trials he’s runnin’. Now I’m out, and I tell you what: I swear I saw Knuckles today, in one of those diver outfits. He had that same gimpy walk. I went up to him, and he wasn’t screamin’ no more…he was kinda cryin’. Aw, hell, I wanna go home!”
