Talk:Bathysphere

I'm not actually sure the design is called Airshell 2. It's kind of hard to read. The name is located on the side of a bathysphere if anyone else wants to try and read it. EDlTOR 02:05, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll check it out. Do you have any thoughts about how the "Austen Bathysphere Co." might relate to the Bathysphere's and Rapture Metro? That's the name that appears on all the metro maps near the Bathyspheres. ~Gardimuer  { ʈalk } 03:22, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, here's how I see it... The "Rapture Metro" stations are just that, stations. Like an airport, they are owned by a private business, in this case Anton Kinkaide. Fontaine builds the Bathyspheres, and sells them to "Austen Bathysphere Co.", who in turn sets up the routes and travel times. And the wheels of industry go right on turning.

Lockdown?
Okay the Bathyspheres are locked down during the events of BioShock that much is certain however, the Lockdown seems to be disabled by the games end.

Evidence to support this:

1) BioShock Evil Ending: several Bathyspheres filled with splicers arrive at surface.

2) BioShock 2: Sammy Fletcher and his lover find a bathysphere and attempt a break for the surface.

Other less solid evidence to support this:

1) SitS: The Nellie Bly was attacked by splicers. A Bathysphere is most likely required for them to initiate the attack. even lighthouse access from rapture requires Bathy use.

2) SitS: it is implied that James Oakes dies similarly to Sammy Fletcher

I don't know if or how this information should be mentioned in the article, but it still might be worth consideration.

EDIT: Sorry, I keep forgetting to sign my posts.

Bioshock Infinite
In Bioshock Infinite, Booker DeWiit is able to activate the bathysphere, which is the same one that Jack used in Bioshock 1. Does this imply a relation between Booker and Andrew Ryan, or is it just a small fact being overlooked?
