why is it only little sisters can harvest adam?


I mean doesn't it just work like an injection? Then anyone can harvest adam once they have the injection thing.

reply

the little sisters have the sea slugs in their stomachs

back in 98 I did a titty comedy for Skinemax. Sex Camp, ya remember it?

Because only they can have the sea slug inside them that allows large amounts of ADAM to be produced.

And then.....AND THEN THE CAGE COMES DOWN!

how do you guys know this? I know that if u harvest her u see a sea slug but still, it seems so strange since the little sister is not even physically involved during harvesting, i though she was just sing an injection to retrieve adam. So how does the injection thing help her retrieve the adam? Is there like some genetic code so it helps her?

reply

No,

after extracting blood she drinks it from the extraction tool - watch closely.

And Big Sisters can also retrieve/produce ADAM, but I do not know how.

Yes, but that makes no difference.
Why can not anyone just harvest it anyway if it is just an injection?

No one mentioned drinking it...just harvesting it.

betterthanstrawberry is right, but he brings up a good point. What happens during the ??? stage?

Sounds like a reference from the South Park episode with the underpants gnomes.

Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT

I actually bought the Bioshock book that takes place before and during the first game. So spoilers for the book right now.
When they first discovered the slug it was by accident. A dock worker for Rapture had injured his hand and was working anyway sorting through fish when he found the slug and pulled it out of the containment of fish and put it aside in a bucket as it didn't look like a normal slug and thought he could get something for it. As he let go of the slug he realized the pain in his hand was gone. He went to the doctor Tenenbuam, who ran tastes and confirmed that his hand was fully healed. She asked him how it had occurred and he brought her to the slug. She bought it off him and began experimenting on it. She realized that they needed a way to breed the slug and use it to its full potential. (At some point she has divers ((big daddies but who have not been given little sisters yet as none were created at their point.)) hunt down more slugs) at first she puts them in adults who volunteered to help in experimenting/ or prisoners/ or people to injured to be useful in any other way. But the slugs would die, or the adult she would die. They tried little boys but the slugs would reject them as well (never said kids died from it). They finally tried little girls and the slugs flourished. They experimented on them and discovered the properties of Adam and eventually Eve. To keep up with everything they began kidnapping little girls.

Hope I said that in a way that makes sense. But literally the slugs would not survive testing without the chemicals unique in only little girls.

I thought the slug bit the dockworker. Thought I heard that on an audio log I picked up in.

Close only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and thermo-nuclear weapons.

reply

He may have been bit. I admit it has been quite a while since I've read the book.
