Rapture Central Computing



Rapture Central Computing is one of the three major businesses located in Minerva's Den and also the most important.

History
Rapture Central Computing was founded by Charles Milton Porter and his partner Reed Wahl, and provides computing power to the various workings and functions of Rapture's infrastructure. Individuals and business may also pay to use the central computing mainframe services for their own purposes. The company has also been known in partnership with Ryan Industries for the creations of the Ion Laser weaponry and the Lancer Big Daddy model, and with McClendon Robotics for contract on the Vacuum Bots.

At the core of the Rapture Central Computing Mainframe is a supercomputer called The Thinker, created jointly by Porter and Wahl to perform all the calculation needs of the city. As Porter wanted to turn The Thinker into more a person (his dead wife Pearl than an artificial intelligence and Wahl wanted to exploit the supercomputer's calculation capacities, they entered in conflict, ending with Wahl turning Porter to Ryan's security forces with false proofs and taking control of the company and its supercomputer. Porter was then incarcerated to Persephone Penal Colony where he was used as test subject and finally ending as Subject Sigma, one of the Alpha Series Big Daddies. In control of whole Minerva's Den, Wahl then locked it down from the rest of the city when began the Civil War.
