Why's Delta in Hibernation? *Spoilers*

[Magus10112]

I'm sure this theory has been thrown around somewhere before, but here it is.

We all know Delta was frozen because of something that happened involving Eleanor.

We also know that Suchong was the one who was working on the protection bonds.

Delta, being the first bonded Big Daddy may not have been bonded at all... Perhaps Suchong was trying to REPLICATED the bond Delta shared with his little sister... or in this case


* Spoilers from here on out*


HIS DAUGHTER! If Eleanor was Delta's daughter, that would explain the protection bond. It wasn't chemical. It wasn't something Suchong needed to figure out, it was something he needed to REPRODUCE. So, in the audio diary where suchong talks about the protection bond, Eleanor is the little girl in the background. Delta is the one that drills the Sonova***** to the table. It makes sense because he didn't have the bond figured out completely yet CHEMICALLY, but the bond would've already existed with Delta.

Which leads me back to why Delta is in Hibernation.
Because he killed Suchong. Tennanbaum would have known all about it AND how to pull you out of it just as she helped Jack with Lot-22.

Am I way off base here?

[General Goose]

Seems like a reasonable idea to me.

[Magus10112]

Thank you

[gaminking]

ya that's my theory as well although i never thought of delta being her real daddy a good idea though. although there are a few holes in it (like all the other theories). I am actually kind of hoping I'm wrong I always secretly hoped that somehow Suchong survived so we could meet him in the game. like why his (supposed corpse) is still fresh looking and why the drill is smoking like it was recently used (fact of the day friction cause heat)

[mr.solodolo]

I like this idea. However I wouldn't like it if delta was originally Lamb's husband. For the story to be realistic it wouldn't make much sense for delta to go against his wife, so they'd need to explain that somehow. Also because I hate lamb.

Sinclair ftw.

[Magus10112]

Actually, it would make sense.

That's why Sophia is so huge on the "Rapture Family." Because she lost her own family. Which is why, in her eyes, Delta strives for himself "Alone, amongst the dead." because he became a BD with Eleanor and left her to fend for herself. Maybe because he shared Ryan's ideals, and he was a political rival of hers, so she took it very personally.

If that's the case though, and Eleanor is the Big Sister, and the Big Sister is Sophia's hand, then that leaves MANY more questions wide open.

I love to speculate as much as the next guy but, we probabaly haven't figured the twsit out yet. I think the Jordan and co. would figure we'd be able to gather up the therories such as, "delta was Lambs husband/Ellies father" type ideas, we are Bioshockians....we do pay attention, and they are expecting us to think hard and try and pick at every little piece of data thats been put out there...so unless they took a serious risk...i think we are missing much, much data.
I believe Delta is lambs husband. ellies real father...but I don't think that is that BIG of a twist...if delta is the first successful big daddy, it would of made sense for it a be a real father. daughter combo to achieve what Ryan was after.
If Ryan and Lamb where at such odds, it seems even more likely they could of forced Delta to go into the big daddy program against his will to save or be with his duaghter rather then loose her completely. a choice he had to make. Or Ryan chould of taken Lambs family from her for being the altruist she is, for talking out against him.
MILLIONS of possibilties.....this is all my opinion.

[gmcb007]

yeah what i cant understand is why does he wake up in the lobby of a resort?

wouldnt it be smarter for a lab to be the first location?

[panda rave]

so many good idea's so little time until find the truth...
according to jordan the beginning of the game isn't as abrupt as we've been led to believe so I think there will at least be a small explanation during the intro.

[RaptureIsABody]

2 weeks my fellow bio-freaks.....2 weeks.

[Crezth]

One of my personal theories is that Delta killed Suchong. *shrug* May or may not be the case.

[Big D]

go onto bioshock wiki and look up subject Delta. Although it might make things a bit more clearer, it may contain one nasty spoiler. It can also be seen by a quote made by Sofia lamb on Bioshock wiki. It may also explain her riddles about sacrifice.

[Big D]

Before the events of BioShock 2 Delta was dead, having been forced to shoot himself in the head by Sofia Lamb, Eleanor's mother, while under the effects of a mind-control plasmid

"I owe you an apology, Delta. I had to disconnect the craft at 92, all those years ago. Shooting you down was the only way Ryan's Thugs would accept the loss of their... property. I have a daughter. She survived the crash, as planned. Now, I wonder, did you?"

[GJOk]

Why's Delta in Hibernation?

Nightnurse.

Seriously, I pretty much O.D'd on that stuff after a night out once and was out for like 2 days!

wha...?? that is interesting....indeed....makes me feel like she might not be married to 'em....well i guess if you'd shoot down your own husband.....you got be a little qwak.

There is no citation and the wiki can be edited by anyone... even... YOU Dun DUN DUNNNNNN!

Seriously though is there any source cited for the supposedly spoilerish information about Delta?

[Ga1Friday]

Hi Magus *waves*

I think that Delta is in hibernation because he is really a grizzly bear!

I don't think that any of your theories are "off base" we will all have to play to find out what the story really is.

[that_splicer_guy]

delta is acctually gordon freeman, and he was busy saving the world in the future, so that would explain him bieng missing, and he and chuck norris had a baby named sophia and then sophia had a baby with jayson statham macking an ultamite super bieng!!!!!!!!!

[Sinclair Saucer]

Delta being Elenors daughter is a tad predictable; there must be more to it

[that_splicer_guy]

i think its vice versa thats predictable...

[I-ChooseTheImpossible]

Delta being Elenors daughter is a tad predictable; there must be more to it

Wait Delta is the daughter!since when?

[Adam Addict L]

ok,I was going to just post...but instead I decided to read through what everyone else said first



anyway...I have to agree that perhaps Delta is the one who killed Suchong(also I don't think the ''smoke'' around the drill in Suchong's lab in B1 is from heat..I think it's really just dust/dirt in the air as when you go to Eve's Garden there's ''smoke'' over the stage with no real reason to it) and I think Delta was shutdown or brought down because of this and placed in somewhere for storage before the events of B1.

Also...

I like this idea. However I wouldn't like it if delta was originally Lamb's husband. For the story to be realistic it wouldn't make much sense for delta to go against his wife, so they'd need to explain that somehow.

I think this theory makes sense,from what Sofia says in the 1rst TV trailier for B2... ''Your sacrifice is nothing.Out of your pain paradise was born. Like all I have done,this is an act of love"

[RaptureIsABody]

I reallly think Delta is Lambs husband/Ellies Father. It just feels right, but like I ahve said before I doubt that is our BIG TWIST.

I think with hearing all this news about what father wales called delta, Maybe we where more then just a big daddy....maybe that was our primary function, maybe we where more then that. bodyguard? there are so many theroies which in turn leads to more holes. ARRRRGH, why can't it be feb 9th yet?.......atleast i get No more heroes 2 this week, that will cheer me up a bit..

[SonicBoom2]

Seriously though is there any source cited for the supposedly spoilerish information about Delta?

That info is in the issue of PC Gamer which features the Bioshock 2 review, which I have in front of me as I type this so consider it citated!

There is another potentially major spoiler in this review but it's a bit vague, I'm not sure it's actually telling us what I think it is.

[Painman]

I can go for now with the speculation that Eleanor is Delta's biological daughter. It kinda makes sense to me from a plot buildup point of view. A fundamental disagreement between Eleanor's parents re: her fate in Rapture, leading to Sofia offing him in order to take her out of Ryan's grasp. Maybe Delta (Dad) volunteered to become a Big Daddy in order to protect his little girl, believing that there wasn't any alternative in order to remain close to her and keep her safe.

OTOH, maybe Delta is just some schmoe who entered the program because he needed a job. But Delta being "Daddy" for real sounds much more interesting.

Regardless, Eleanor can't possibly be a small child at this point. She's gotta be in her mid teens, at least. Which leads me to speculate that in the game she turns out to be "THE" Big Sister, and that might be part of the "big" plot humdinger, ie. if that's the case, once it's revealed, who knows how that will twist/unfold.

Still leaves some unexplained details, though... the bread crumb trail left by Eleanor for Delta is childish in appearance, but maybe that's intentional since Delta only remembers Eleanor as a child, and he has no idea that 10+ years have passed. Maybe she left it there as a child, but then, why wouldn't it have been long ago scavenged by splicers?

I... dunno. But I'm sticking with what I said about Eleanor, because the chronology supports it.

2 more weeks... Dangnabbit.

[Sinclair Saucer]

Maybe Delta is a bear? No, seriously.

Delta would have been shut down for two reasons; Strength or Personal Matter. With Sofia in the mix, I opt for the latter

[Adam Addict L]

I still say it's because Delta killed Suchong...I mean,if a big hulking brute ina diving suit killed one your workers in your secret underwater city you'd want to take him down too

[TurdSandwitch]

I bet Delta wasn't Sofia's husband but a man that Ryan sent out to have an affair with her just so he could keep a close eye on who he believed were his enemies.

Then, to add fuel on the fire, he took her daughter and made her into a Little Sister and her lover into a Big Daddy.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[PureNukage]

I think Delta is Clint Eastwood in a Big Daddy suit

[that_splicer_guy]

delta, is jason stathanm!!!! i mean he kills like 30 poeple a day

[panda rave]

This is ridiculous there are only two possibilities.

1) Delta is the product of his own unconscious, he perceives therefore he is.

2) He's chuck norris

[Painman]

Chuck Norris is tiresome. Clint Eastwood is far more interesting.

[Raab]

Wasn't Delta dumped out of the Vita chambers? By Tenebaum.

[Adam Addict L]

why would he already be IN a vita chamber?? that doesn't make sense

[Raab]

why would he already be IN a vita chamber?? that doesn't make sense

How does anyone end up in a Vita chamber? He died.

[Sinclair Saucer]

How does anyone end up in a Vita chamber? He died.

Sinclair is a genius, thats why.

[Adam Addict L]

How does anyone end up in a Vita chamber? He died.

i mean,how would be already be in a Vita Chamber BEFORE Sinclair rigs them to work for him??

[Raab]

i mean,how would be already be in a Vita Chamber BEFORE Sinclair rigs them to work for him??

Well who says they weren't already setup to work for the Prototype series. Maybe this is why Sinclair states " your blood would be worth a pretty penny on the surface"

[Sinclair Saucer]

Precisly. Just because Ryan ordered only his DNA can be accepted, I doubt Augustus Sinclair listened to him.

[Raab]

this is clearly a shot in the dark but maybe Delta has something that collects the DNA of everyone around him and incorporates it into him self, or something I dunno.
