Mysterious Package From Mark Meltzer

 

Today I received this parcel from a certain ‘Mark Meltzer’. At first I thought it must have been a mistake but the name sounded familiar. In the package was a record titled ‘Rapture Records’. It took a while but I figured out who Mark Meltzer was.

 

 

 

 

Mark Meltzer was the guy investigating the disappearance of little girls in Bioshock 2. I learned about this character from the teaser site ‘There is something in the sea’. Mark Meltzer is also looking for his own daughter that has mysteriously disappeared.

 

 

Upon inspecting the package I received, I found that the Rapture Records is the same one I found in the record player on the teaser site. The record has a Wagnerian song with these lyrics:

 

O rise, Rapture, rise,

We turn our hopes up to the skies.

O rise, Rapture, rise ,

Upon your wings our dreams with lie.

A city in the oceans deep ,

A promise that we'll always keep,

To boldly turn our eyes upon, the prize,

So rise, rise, rise.

O rise, Rapture, rise ,

We merrily sing this reprise .

O rise, Rapture, rise ,

To help us crush parasites, despised.

A city on Poseidon's floor,

A set of ideals we adore ,

A philosophy we all can emphasize,

So rise, rise, rise!

 

At the end of the song(which ends abruptly) a voice of a little girl is heard saying "Daddy? Where are you daddy? Are you going to come and find me?". This might be Marks missing daughter or any one of the other missing girls. Her voice sounds like a little sister and not quite human.

 

There are some mysterious numbers(a sort of code) on both sides of the record. I’m not sure if it means anything at all.

 

The site also introduces a new character called Orrin Lutwidge that owned companies that are shell companies owned by other entities. All these characters and documents are from New York which leads me to believe the kidnapping were mainly off the North Atlantic Ocean. All these incidents might clue us in on the location of Rapture.

 

Mark Meltzer is certainly being led by Lutwidge to uncover Rapture. In one of the notes it would seem like he even found some sort of key. Maybe to Rapture?

 

Surely the evidence looks clear. Mark Meltzer has to be convinced of Rapture and by now should know that such a city under the sea must exist. And in his desperation, has he ventured into Rapture to find his daughter? Or is the Daddy reference at the end of the record also a hint of the origins of the original Big Daddy? Is the Big Daddy connected to Mark Meltzer?
