“ Informed that former-residents of Rapture would appear in NYC, we gathered at Pier 54 to witness their arrival. Through the pouring rain, two Splicers appeared. We followed them on their trek for ADAM, eventually finding a Little Sister and her special Big Daddy: Subject Delta. We documented the encounter, as the Splicers attempted to capture the Little Sister. But, to no avail, they retreated and, eventually, so did Subject Delta... ”

—Fantasization of the First Splicer's Unite Event, by MegaScience after attending.

Starting December 5th, 2009, as part of the ongoing promotions for the release of BioShock 2 the Cult of Rapture began to organize "Splicers Unite!" events in major cities throughout the United States. Each event featured an elaborately costumed Subject Delta accompanied by a Little Sister, with gifts from COR given out to attendees. Later Splicers Unite! events also included a "Rapturian Cocktail Hour" that took place in a local restaurant.
