Suddenly Del hears a voice yell "Duck!" and a grenade drops by the splicers feet killing the splicer. A mysterious figure then jumps down from a ventilation shaft to greet Del. "What was that thing?! I think I've seen one before." asked Del. "That was a splicer. Nasty little buggers." replied the man. "So what's your name" asked Del. "The names Joseph Burke, you can just call me Joe, and my mission is to get as many people out of this d*** city as I possibly can. So you should probably come with me." "Good, cause I'll do anything to get out of here." replied Del. "So whats our plan?" "Well first I suggest you take that splicers pistol." Del eagerly picked up the weapon. "Secondly, I think we should meet up with my buddy David. The last time I heard from him he told me he was hiding out in the armory, so I think we should head over there. Now, before we leave, do you have any more questions?" "Why were you in a vent?" asked Del. "It's a long story."Answered Joe as they started to leave the apartment.
