The Vanishing

A term from Something in the Sea used to describe the disappearances of bright and talented adults all around the world starting around 1947. Newspaper articles that Mark has received say that several hundred thousand people unexpectedly disappeared after World War II. This has caused various conspiracy theorists to speculate that these disappearances are the result of everything from UFOs, to Communists, to Atlanteans. However, government officials say that such a number is not so far off what would be normally expected after such a massive global conflict. Mark investigated The Vanishing rigorously, making the connection between The Vanishing and the more recent abduction of the little girls. The occurrences were 20 years apart from each other, and the disappearances noted some of the characters you meet in Bioshock 1 including Kyburz, Julie Langord and J.S. Steinman.
