Dreaming Rapture
"Andrew Ryan wakes one night while cruising the Atlantic in his steam-liner, the Olympian, his sleep interrupted with a singular purpose. 'Here!' he shouts to his crewmen as he wipes sleep from his eyes, 'Full stop. We begin building here.' "

Traveling the Distance
"Refitted for heavy construction, the Olympian returns with a new cargo: a state of the art submersible platform, nicknamed 'the Sinker' (to) ferry supplies and crewmen to the seafloor, fathoms below."

Laying the Foundation
"After initial supplies have been brought to the seafloor the platform is permanently moored in the sediment. Massive iron girders are sunk hundreds of feet into the rock and silt. Below the platform engineers work to overcome obstacles, such as diamond hard rock, obstinate sea-life, and unexpected casualties."

Rapture Grows
"After the platform is secured, work progresses at an astounding rate. Designed to be the foundation of the Rapture, workers toil around the clock to create the metropolis you see today."
