Columbia and Rapture where as alike as they where different. One was on the sky, the other at the bottom of the ocean, one centered around religion, the other around the amount a man us due. But they're both filled with madmen.

When we came through the tear, I was surprised to find myself on The First Lady Airship of all places. Only this time we where in the back room, along with Lady Comstock's dress. "We're here... this is..." Elizabeth started, not sure how to word it.

I nodded, "Yeah... I know the feeling... okay, so where can we find this Lutece Particle thing?" I asked, wanting to get out of here ASAP. I didn't want to run into my or Elizabeth's past selves. That would be to hard to explain.

Elizabeth turned towards the lift on the right side of the room, "This way. " she said, climbing onto the lift. I joined her and clicked the button, " The airship uses a reactor to channel the particle throughout the the body of the ship, without it, it's just a big paperweight." she explained as the lift came to a stop on the the reactor level.

I immediately recognized the machine, I've destroyed a few of them to bring down a zeppelin. "Did Comstock not hear of something called helium? I mean I'm not complaining of anything, but why go through all the trouble?" I asked.

Approaching the reactor, Elizabeth began to look for something, "Well the original First Lady Airship did. But it was easily destroyed by a lone Vox sniper. Unfortunately the Prophet himself wasn't on it." she explained. Give that man a medal though, seriously, I can only imagine how much that pissed Comstock off.

Elizabeth opened a compartment in the reactor, "Are you sure you should be messing around with a reactor of all things? I mean I want to get bit by a radioactive spider as much as the next guy bit still." I joked.

Elizabeth gave me a blank look, "Do I want to know what your talking about?" she asked, a bit of humor in her voice.

I covered my face with my hand, "Forget I said anything. So what does this thing look like?" I asked, beginning to help her in her search.

"It should look like a metal cylinder with a rotating on the top." she said, "I'm looking for the spare one, if we took the one that's in the reactor now then... well we've messed around enough in alternate dimensions as much as it is." she explained.

Yeah that's a good point, though I gotta say I wouldn't mind visiting a choice few. Like the one where Star Wars is real, that's everyone's dream come true right there. Moving aside a few tools, I found a small metal cylinder, "Hey, is this it?" I asked as I held the metal.

Elizabeth grinned, "Perfect! Now let's get outta here." she said as we headed back to the lift. When we reached the bottom floor, we immediately headed for the tear but it wouldn't open. On the other side was a screen with Suchong's face.

"Not done yet! You two, find sample." he said. I looked at Elizabeth warily, usually us doing other people's work does not end well.

"Open up the tear Suchong. We got your machine working, we don't owe you shit." I yelled into the tear. "Patrick, can you find a way to open it?" I asked.

"Sorry. Nothing I can do, the only controls for it are the leaver, he's gotta have control for it in his office or something." He said. Shit, he's got us by our necks.

I let out a sigh, "Ok, what sample?" I asked the monitor. How hard could it be right? I mean it's not like we gotta find guns for him like with Daisy.

" Need girls hair." Oh for fucks sake!

Elizabeth looked disgusted, "You have to be joking. I am not giving you my-" she started. I fully agreed, that's like the first sign of a stalker and it's super duper creepy.
