Beyond the Sea

[BaldurAnthology]

Siobhan caught the pep bar and smiled at Sigma. She pocketed the food, and picked back up her shotgun, slowly, with her other hand up to indicate she wasn't hostile, and pointed it at the floor so she could re-engage the safety. As the little light turned green to indicate the safety was on, she showed the light to Sigma, and placed the weapon in the holster on her back. She waved at the big daddy and walked towards her apartment.

 

"See ya round, tin daddy!" She called out, and punched in the combo to open the door.

 

"Bad news was it was indeed a couple of idiot splicers. Good news is the big daddy you heard was a friendly one. It's one of the old ones, named Sigma. You know, before the Big Daddies could have multiple Little Sisters, this one only gets one. Like Delta." She hung up her gun bondolier, and locked the door behind her.

Sigma turned and continued down the hall, after the red haired woman left his mind kept drifting to her and her likeness to Kyla. He missed her and he didn't know how he was going to find her. Sigma wandered around a corner and then heard a distinct scream of a little girl. Like a lion chasing after its prey Sigma took off at a run.

 

"No! No! Stay away!" the girl cried just as Sigma got to the balcony, down below were four splicers, one looked like he was a giant ape but he had bull like horns and he carried a sledgehammer like a baby carried a rattle, one of the splicers was fighting with the girl for her syringe that had been filled with Adam, a dead Big Daddy laid not far away.

 

With a roar of a demon rising from hell Sigma leaped over the railing and landed behind one of the splicers that was carrying a lead pipe, He quickly grabbed the splicer and hurled him with outstanding force into another one of the splicers and charged the pair, Just as they connected he fired up his drill and rammed it home, piercing both Splicers simultaneously. They both screamed in pure agony as the huge bit augered through them, sending bits and pieces of gore and blood flying everywhere. Sigma watched in horror as one of the Splicers aimed a pistol at the little girl, she cried and cowered in fear. Reacting on pure instinct he turned and aimed his Drill-arm at the Splicer and tapped a special red button on his elbow and the drill began to spin furiously and then a pair of rockets fired and sent the drill careening towards the splicer. The bit shed the remains of the other Splicers in flight and striking the Splicer holding the gun square in the chest with enough force to send him flying into the wall where it imbedded deep and finally stopped.

 

Sigma let out a triumphant moan just before the large brute splicer charged into him and sent him flying. He hit the far wall hard and landed on the floor, he blacked out for a few seconds, when he awoke the world was fuzzy but he could make out the Brute coming towards him.

 

"You ghosted three of me' boyos tin papa!" Said the brute in a thick irish accent. The brute picked Sigma up by the handles on his diving helmet and lifted him to his feet.

 

"An' 'fer that, I'm gonna kill you and then i'll take ma' sweet lil' time with the girl..." he said with a cackle, he was cut short when Sigma punched him in the chin hard enough for the Brute to release him and stagger back holding his chin. Sigma leveled his wrist-mounted Spear-gun and fired, one of the Spears pierced his hand and pinned him to the wall. The brute cried out like a stuck pig, Sigma fired a second shot into his other hand that pierced him there like a strange mockery of the crucifixion.

 

"I'll kill you for this Tin Man!" Cursed the Splicer as he strained to pull himself off the spears holding him to the wall.

Sigma calmly removed the Drill still stuck in the wall and attached it to his arm, as he did the young girl popped out of her hiding place behind a un-mounted door laying on its side next to the wall where it had been ripped off its hinges. She looked at the stuck splicer and stuck out her tongue. She ran over to Sigma leg and clutched on, he groaned with what could be determined as a laugh.

 

"You're mean and my Daddy kicked your ugly butt!" Yelled the spunky little girl. She looked up and beamed at Sigma as he picked her up and placed her on his shoulder and turned to walk away. As they turned the Splicer forced one hand off the spear and reached for a pistol laying on the ground and aimed at Sigma.

 

"Daddy lookout!" The girl cried out just as Sigma turned with astonishing speed and drew the double-barrel from his back and fired both barrels into the Splicers skull. Sending enlarged bits of brain matter and flesh flying about the room, adding more gore to the already gore filled room.

 

"Thank you for saving me papa..." She said as she hugged his huge diving helmet and smiled.

Dylan had just finished his food as Siobhan returned, looking rather pleased. When he heard the news, he was rather pleased too, "Not very often you see a Big Daddy, let alone one who isn't trying to kill you. Finding one that is still capable of communicating is unheard of to me."

 

Big Daddies had always interested Dylan, and he was legitimately interesting in Sigma.

 

"What was he doing?"

"Big daddy? Is that what made all that groaning?" Charles asked. He hadn't seen a big daddy during his time down there, but it didn't sound too friendly if one of them was what produced those moans.

Sigma returned to the area he had awoken in, the girl finished her gathering and he begun repairing the generator buried under the rubble, after clearing the rubble he drew his toolkit and began working, despite his size and large hands he worked quickly. It wasn't long before power was restored to the area. The display showed that a food processor in a room not far was out of order and he set out to repair it. Sigma had flashes of that red-haired woman and he realized that is where she is staying.

 

He didn't have anything to do besides fix it so he approached the door and knocked.

Charles gripped his AK tightly as he heard the rapping on the door.

 

"Company again..." He said.

[BaldurAnthology]

Siobhan peered outside the door through the window, and recognized Sigma. She punched the code into the door, and stepped aside to let the gigantic armored being inside. She turned to the people in her apartment and said,

 

"It's alright, guys. This is Sigma, the Big Daddy I mentioned previously."

[Macman253]

Sigma stepped through the door, his diving helmet clanked on the door frame as he walked through, he shook it off and walked inside. He looked around the room and found the food processor, he knelt down in front of it and reached behind his back. He grabbed the bag of tools and set it down on the metal floor with a loud thunk and began to rummage around inside, he removed a screwdriver and wrench and unscrewed the main panel and removed it to reveal the inner workings.

 

He began to repair the food processor, he remained quiet. Not knowing what to say to them, His mind kept drifting to the red haired woman, he was so distracted by her presence he dropped his screwdriver. He cursed to himself but it just came out as a hollow moan.

[nethgros]

Dylan watched as Sigma went to work on the food processor, and his mind soon drifted to the lovely food that he would eat once the machine was fixed. He stared blankly at Sigma, his thoughts far away..

Charles didn't quite know what to make of Sigma. The creature certainly appeared imposing, clad in a large diving suit with an immense helmet and the whole attire flecked and splotched red with freshly dried blood. But he seemed to possess an eerie calmness, almost making it hard to believe that he produced the angry groaning earlier. A serene demeanor, if not a cordial one.

 

"So...that's a 'big daddy'?" He asked.
