准备:谢鉴衡吴桥杂技

起源

原始吴桥人留下的考古遗迹最早可追溯至新石器时代。据当地流行的传说,黄帝蚩尤时,派遣的一名传令兵因风雪误了使命,因怕砍头而遁逃,沿途靠卖艺为生。黄帝大怒,派人缉拿该传令兵,可派去缉拿得人找不到逃犯,也不敢回去复命,于是同样走上了靠表演为生的道路,久而久之杂技便成为了一种职业。1957年,吴桥境内小马厂村发掘了东魏贵族封氏之墓,里面就出土了画有倒立、肚顶、马术、蝎子爬等杂技形象的壁画。

宋代时,杂技

The underwater city of Rapture. BioShock's game design drew on Art Deco and Steampunk for much of its imagery.[1]

游戏开始时,玩家扮演主角杰克,1960年他所乘坐的飞机坠毁在大西洋中,[2]那时销魂城的社会秩序已经崩溃。[3]游出水面后,杰克发现自己是空难的唯一幸存者,于是游到了附近岛上的一座巨型灯塔下。在那儿他发现一只潜水球,他用它潜入海中,进入了销魂城。[4]一名叫阿特拉斯的爱尔兰人用潜水球里的无线电通信装置指引杰克前往安全地点。这时,雷恩认为杰克是地面上国家的间谍,他利用销魂城的自动化系统和被信息素控制的缝合人试图杀死杰克。阿特拉斯告诉杰克他若想幸存,便只能利用质体赋予的能力,而且必须杀死小阿妹们来获取她们的亚当物质。小阿妹们的创造者Tenenbaum博士偶然听见了阿特拉斯的话,他截住了杰克,鼓励他挽救小阿妹们,并给了他一颗质体,它能替换每个阿妹体内植入的海蛤蝓。[5]阿特拉斯说他的妻子和孩子被藏在一个潜水艇内,并指引杰克去找它。当杰克和阿特拉斯到达潜艇停泊的海湾时,雷恩毁掉了潜艇;狂怒的阿特拉斯要杰克杀了雷恩。

Eventually, after completing tasks throughout Rapture (like saving an artificial forest from dying and helping an insane artist build his sculpture), Jack confronts Ryan, who is casually playing golf in his office. Ryan reveals a truth that he has pieced together: Jack was actually born in Rapture just two years ago, genetically modified to mature rapidly. He is Ryan's illegitimate son by an affair with Jasmine Jolene, a dancer. When Jolene became pregnant with Jack, she (in desperate need of money) had her embryo surgically removed and sold it to the highest bidder. She had not realized it was Frank Fontaine who purchased the son, leading to her death by an enraged Ryan. Ryan further reveals that, after purchasing Jack's embryo, Fontaine designed him to obey orders that are preceded by the specific phrase "Would you kindly...". Jack was then sent to the surface when the war started to put him beyond Ryan's reach. When the conflict between Fontaine and Ryan reached a stalemate, Jack was sent instructions to board a flight with a package and to use its contents, a revolver, to hijack and crash the plane near the lighthouse, enabling him to return to Rapture as a tool of Fontaine. Because Jack was Ryan's son, he could freely use Rapture's bathysphere network, which had been locked out to everyone except those within Ryan's "genetic ballpark". Finally, Ryan has Jack kill him, wanting to die on his own terms. With Ryan's death, Jack realizes too late that Atlas has also been using the trigger phrase to control him. Atlas reveals himself as Fontaine, who faked his death to throw Ryan off his trail and take control of the city, leaving Jack at the mercy of the reactivated security systems. Dr. Tenenbaum and her Little Sisters help Jack escape through the vent system, where he falls and loses consciousness.

When Jack awakens, Dr. Tenenbaum has already deactivated some of his conditioned responses (such as the trigger phrase itself) and assists him in breaking the remaining ones, among them one that would have eventually stopped his heart. When it becomes clear to Fontaine that he is losing control of Jack, Fontaine points out the peculiar fact that Tenenbaum has survived both World War II as a Holocaust victim and the battle in Rapture, insinuating that she has a secret agenda of her own. With the help of the Little Sisters, Jack is able to track down Fontaine. Fontaine, having been cornered, injects himself with vast amounts of ADAM and becomes an inhuman monster. Jack battles Fontaine, eventually prevailing and allowing the Little Sisters to subdue and extract the ADAM from Fontaine, killing him.

Three endings are possible depending on how the player interacted with the Little Sisters, all narrated by Dr. Tenenbaum. If the player harvested no Little Sisters (thereby saving their lives), the ending shows five Little Sisters returning to the surface with Jack and living full lives under his care, including their graduating from college, getting married, and having children; it ends on a heart-warming tone, with an elderly Jack surrounded on his deathbed by all five of the adult Little Sisters.

If the player harvested (and thereby killed) all or almost all of the Little Sisters, the game ends with Jack turning on the Sisters after defeating Fontaine, presumably killing them all and taking their ADAM.[6] Tenenbaum narrates what occurred, condemning Jack and his actions, voice thick with anger and contempt. Later in the second ending, a George Washington-class submarine carrying nuclear missiles comes across the wreckage of the plane and is suddenly surrounded by bathyspheres containing Splicers. The Splicers kill all hands aboard the submarine and take control of it.[7]

If the player killed more than one Little Sister, but not enough to obtain the previous ending, the ending is visually identical to the second one, although the tone of Tenenbaum's voice is a sad one, as opposed to angry and there are minor dialogue changes.[8]

细胞分裂:断罪

汤姆·里德

作为美国空军军官学校一个野心勃勃的毕业生,汤姆·里德在美国空军中从事多种反恐职务,尤其是网络战,并升为中校。在前负责人欧文·兰伯特的倡议下,他转入新第三梯队工作。当兰伯特死于JBA危机后,里德成为第三梯队主管。他扩充了该组织的人手和职能部门,对战争中取得先发制人的信息极感兴趣。里德的心理特征显示出强烈的适者生存思想以及些许自恋情结。他看中实际行动和个人忠诚。里德把原来兰伯特的许多手下都换成了自己人。

作为一个冷酷无情的人,里德把第三梯队完全变成了一个不择手段来“保护”美国的破坏性组织。他是《细胞分裂:断罪》中的最重要反派。最后的任务中,玩家可选择由山姆或格里姆来杀死里德。

安德里·科本

作为一名毒贩、军火商以及第三梯队的沉睡刺客,臭名昭著的安德里·科本因许多犯罪行为令人生畏。据说科本在2007年开车撞死了莎拉·费雪,但后来证实科本实际上是被欧文·兰伯特雇来以一具相似的尸体来假扮莎拉。兰伯特发现莎拉可能被第三梯队内的奸细(后来证实这个奸细就是汤姆·里德)用作对付山姆的工具,便安排莎拉失踪一面卷入危险。山姆潜入科本在马耳他的大宅,逼问他后被第三梯队的人带走。他俩在第三梯队总部相遇后再度冲突,山姆将其打伤后丢在办公室。总部自毁装置启动后,科本也许撤退了,但更可能是被炸死了。

Coop模式中,科本帮助两名可选人物“弓箭手”和“茶隼”,并安置电磁脉冲武器。之后,“弓箭手”和“茶隼”之一被迫杀死另一人,而活着的一个也将被科本杀掉。两人的尸体后来都出现在科本的大宅中等候处理。

肖恩·罗伯逊少校

白盒实验室的项目经理,黑箭组织高级成员。当他操作电脑时,山姆·费雪引爆他身边的电磁脉冲装置将其炸飞。

杰里米·普伦迪斯上校

冷酷的黑箭高级军官。他从白盒绑架了一名女科学家,逼她监督密歇根大道的电磁脉冲装置。普伦迪斯因所坐的直升机被维克多·考斯特击落而身亡。

奥斯卡·拉波伊

一个短命角色。他受雇将山姆押往普莱斯机场,在他为自己的工作要更多酬劳后被汤姆·里德发数枚子弹击毙。

德米特里·格拉姆克斯

受雇在马耳他伏击山姆。山姆干掉他的手下后在一个浴室找到了他。将他拷问一番后,山姆折断了他的气管。

卢修斯·加利亚德

卢修斯·加利亚德是一名成功的美国非裔商人,狡猾且喜好操纵别人。他是白盒和黑箭的新主人。山姆·费雪在林肯纪念馆附近偷听到加利亚德和里德的激辩,那时副总统正准备演讲。山姆逼问加利亚德,但还没得到关于里德计划的内容加利亚德就被刺杀了。刺杀者身份不明,但据推测可能是汤姆·里德雇佣的。山姆穿过国家购物中心去追逐凶手,但凶手很快也被杀死,有可能是第三梯队杀人灭口。

丹尼尔·罗伯特·斯隆-苏瓦雷斯(代号“弓箭手”)

“弓箭手”是一名间谍,隶属于为第三梯队工作的“分裂细胞”小组。

苏瓦雷斯毕业于哈佛大学经济学专业,后进入国安局从事情报分析工作。在那儿,他破译了一系列与恐怖袭击相关的信号,亲自认出极端主义团体格拉斯解放阵线的领导人。虽然在情报也无法面特别有能力,他对当局却十分不满,与米德堡的关系非常紧张。斯隆-苏瓦雷斯很快就对官方规定的限定产生了愤怒。幸运的是,他的潜力被第三梯队的征募员所发现,安娜·格里姆斯多蒂尔很快批准他加入组织,经过紧张的训练后成为代号“弓箭手”的特工。

Coop模式结尾,他被“茶隼”或安德里·科本杀死。

米哈伊尔·安德烈耶维奇·洛斯科夫(代号“茶隼”)

米哈伊尔·洛斯科夫是一名为沃隆(俄国的一个与第三梯队类似的情报组织)工作的特工。

米哈伊尔的大多数工作资料是保密的。我们可以知道的是他对死亡、痛苦和不幸并不陌生。他6岁的时候父母便双双被杀。他与养父关系不好,14岁时便离家出走,流落街头4年。与当地警察多次冲突后他被捕了,后被移交给军队。洛斯科夫在俄军野蛮的训练中得以成长,不久后参加了在格罗兹比镇压车臣游击队瓦哈比派军队的行动。一次行动中他被伏击并俘虏,在忍受了三天的刑讯后才被俄罗斯特种部队营救。特种部队军官维克多·科尔瓦列夫说服他成为了一名从事高风险的潜入及情报搜集工作的特工。从此他被命名为“茶隼”。

Coop模式结尾,他被“弓箭手”或安德里·科本杀死。

特工本·汉森

给“弓箭手”和“茶隼”分派任务者之一。

玛雅·瓦伦蒂娜

给“弓箭手”和“茶隼”分派任务者之一。

维克多·考斯特

维克多(“维克”)·安东尼·克里斯托弗·考斯特是山姆·费雪的老朋友之一。1991年海湾战争是他俩都是海豹三队队员,在伊拉克执行任务。在那儿考斯特曾一个人营救了小队长山姆,那时山姆被伊拉克人扣作人质,其他两名队员已被杀。离开海军后,维克成为秘密安全顾问。在《断罪》中他与山姆联系,为他提供了一些重要的装备和信息。游戏快结束时,维克让山姆和女儿莎拉团聚。

考斯特是游戏的叙事者,他在黑箭的刑讯室回忆了整个故事。在维克多救山姆那一节玩家还可以控制维克多。

查理·弗莱曼

一个小角色,格里姆与山姆的盟友。他是第三梯队雇员,曾听说山姆的事迹,很崇拜他。他为山姆提供了声纳目镜。

副总统加尔文·参孙

他准备在第三梯队和黑箭成功控制白宫后代替总统考德威尔。不过他的梦没能成真,山姆·费雪干掉了他的保镖,打中了他的两个膝盖。然后山姆丢下他离开。从林肯纪念堂外我们从两名建筑工人口中得知参孙是个蓝犬民主主义者。

总统帕特里夏·考德威尔

帕特里夏·考德威尔是游戏中虚构的美国首位女总统,她在《双重间谍》和《断罪》之间的某个时候上台。山姆·费雪得知里德掌管的第三梯队要刺杀她。然而山姆和格里姆及时赶到白宫,制止了里德的阴谋。考德威尔最后被军队护送到安全地点。据里德说,她想要关掉第三梯队,这促使里德准备袭击华盛顿扮恐怖分子。据里德的计划,若军队在他杀掉总统后赶到,黑箭便被当做和第三梯队一起保护白宫的;若在之前赶到,就让黑箭当他的替罪羊,好让他继续完成计划。
