You got back to it and that's what matters. I will happily wait to see another chapter.

Are you ever going to return and continue this?

why is this in the Bioshock/Fallout crossover?

Holy Crap I love these stories I cant wait for the next chapter.

Dude. I love the banter between Alex and Jason. Thank you so much for continuing this series. I love it.

continued Part II:

Now, did Dumbles basically nearly premeditate an almost murder of Harry, soon after he survived the killing curse, ONLY for a goal of minimizing the possible huge numbers of deaths that might happen before Voldy was eventually defeated without Harry being sacrificed? With the weird idea of Voldy and his minions actually enslaving BILLIONS of muggles and ruling the entire world if Harry does not die? Of course one wonders if Harry was the last horcrux left, and Harry killed Voldy, if then Voldy might just manage to take over Harry's body with that final soul fragment, and Harry-DeMort would be "born"...that's all up for grabs for fanfiction plot gags I suppose. The entire Horcrux bit is over the top nutty willy nilly crazy shit in my book anyway. Too bad most fics don't just leave it out and invent other bad Voldy dark magic shit. Logically, YOU are your brain, and only those with too much faith beleave in souls and afterlifes. Your thoughts and memories and BEING are in the squishy folds in your brain. That even small frags of a soul contain the contents of your entire brain is pretty crazy ass silly extreme, even for fantasy FICTION with magic and all that jazz.

I mean shit, suppose Voldy collected all his horcruxes, not including the extra eighth one in Harry, and stuck them all on his skull. Then it'd be like having seven extra brains sitting on the skull holding his actual brain. Imagine that, EIGHT smart dark wizard brains in tandem, like parallel supercomputing, eight neural networks of evil and dark magic ability. LOL, pretty dumb, brains and your being running around as copies of your brain being called "soul" fragments.
A sci-fi version of making a "copy" of your mind, a "backup" of all your memories and brain function, is much less silly and less implausible of being possible in some high-tech future by science, than souls having a copy of your entire brain, or worse, that little frag pieces of your soul somehow get an entire copy, like through some magical soul hologram fracture theory.

There are likely some hilarious BS Dumble quotes in the books, excuses for NOT telling Harry shit so that...to paraphrase my best guess, "Harry could enjoy a happy childhood without the burden of knowing shit like about the prophecy", which Harry NOT knowing allows the whole Voldy ploy that ends with Sirius being killed. A Harry knowing the prophesy would or should have realized all the visions Voldy began feeding him were about luring him to the Hall of Prophesy in the Department of Mysteries. Of course JKR later patches the plothole of Harry forgetting the communication mirror and not using it to try to contact Sirius, by having him later see it in his trunk and smash it to bits.
Surely only a dimwit Harry would not have been more suspicious it was a trap than Sirius actually being tortured by Voldy. This shit makes a few easy plot gag gold mines, like for Harry to be sacrificed, Dumbles hides Harry's great wealth, steals his wealth, uses it for funding "the greater good", keeps his Lordhips secret ETC because, afterall, Harry MUST DIE for the greater good and won't be around to enjoy his vast wealth anyway. Or binding his magic since he MUST die and not win or so he "blows" up as a result by the big battle with Voldy breaking the magical bindings Dumbles put on his core and blowing up like a bomb.
And by not knowing he's rich and living a very crappy life, he's more apt to be all depressed and feel his life is worthless, no fun, and not worth living all that much, and more apt to sacrifice himself and let Voldy kill him, than for example, train, become powerful, fight and win ETC.
Or take his money and run off to Tahiti, Hawaii, Bahamas...ecetera.

NOTE being called "boy" and "freak" and told he's worthless all those years aids in Harry being more willing to sacrifice his life "for the greater good".
There are fanfics with the major thrust being that unlike canon with Harry being so resilient and bouncing back from ALL THAT childhood abuse and horror, and address how damaged Harry likely would be and how he might or might not recover or always be burdened and damaged by the tortured life Dumbles forced him to live.

A cut and dried simple short summary and BASIC FACT one can conclude, is Dumbles, until Voldy uses Harry's blood for making his new body, intended for Harry to DIE. IF Dumbles was "for the greater good", not a sadist, and Harry was actually protected by the blood wards, [though plot holes galore exist with suggestions that those blood wards protected him AWAY from Privette drive is a bit hilarous...unless the blood wards did so by making Harry-Clouseau possible, escape by dumb luck, his many near death experiences]. The upshot is that Dumbles KNOWS and allows Harry to grow up in hell at Durskaban. Dumbles admits and confesses this in the books, that for ten hard years etc etc...HE KNEW Harry would endure horrible treatment by his "relatives".
Best defense for Dumbles is to claim he was ensuring the blood wards plan, that Harry would not be killed by Voldy deatheaters or Voldy at #4 Privette Drive. BUT what is the excuse for NOT reigning in the Dursleys from day one, or year one, or year two, instead of letting them for ten years keep Harry in a cupboard and use him as a slave, and not treat him worth shit later [book two, locks on OUTSIDE OF ROOM, bars on windows, starvation. Book three? cat flap and locks on bedroom door continues until Harry blows up Marge and leaves. Fanfic abuse is generally worse, or in text rather than all that can be imagined via imagination in the JKR books. I believe canon contains stale bread and water or tea shoved by Petui through the cat flap for Harry's meal for the day, or most of the day. And we have Vernon suggesting Dudley hit Harry with his Smeltings stick too, in the JKR books, with the abuse so bad we can imagine that we don't see it all spelled out in the text. So how much tweaking is truly all that much tweaking in fanfics UPPING the level of abuse is debatable. Hints and behaviour is, that arrival of the first Hogwarts letter TONES down the abuse, due to the letter addressed to the cupboard under the stairs, Vermin and Petui fear the "freaks" are WATCHING THEM and that of course implied their abuse is seen, and in fear of retribution they abuse Harry less. For future months and years in Durskaban, to keep the canon "model" in tack, I'd have to make excuses that the abuse was habitual for ten years and so the Dursley's tend to slide back into that behaviour without any big incidents to remind them of all those "freaks" out there maybe watching or maybe some day deciding to judge them and punish them for the abuse they heap on Harry. And that combined with the crap fear threat of being expelled, the Hopkirk headed Underage use of magic office crap, and NOT allowed to use magic in school, and the habitual abuse having Harry TAKING it year after year, somehow keeps him from fighting back, other than the blowing up Marge incident. My memory is blurred by too many years and movie versus book overlaps.
The only early "help" Harry gets is Hagrid telling him to threaten giving Dudley another tail if he bullies Harry. Harry points out he can't use magic out of school and Hagrid replies in the movie that his relatives don't know Harry can't use magic. But we later get, probably in both movies and in the books, that the Dursley's know Harry can't use magic, while scared half shitless that he is learning more and more magic and has a wand but clinging to the hope or belief Harry won't use magic they continue to abuse him like always. The warning from Hopkirk's underage magic office, which I don't recall anyone but Harry reading the warning, due to Dobby dropping dessert to blame Harry, we otherwise have a big UNKNOWN WHO informs the Dursleys Harry can't use magic, and therefore they get informed that Harry is defenseless if they want to continue to enjoy abusing Harry, with NO CONSEQUENCES.
Other than Sirius being in the muggle news, and so after the next school year, year three, Harry uses THAT, that his godfather is the wanted murderer, and that intimidates Petui and Vermin some.
Until Sirius is dead, and Tonks, Madeye, and Authur threaten Vernon at Kings Cross to treat Harry better, NO ONE has bothered to drop in on the abusive muggles and intimidate them to stop abusing Harry. HOW FUCKING hard would that have been, for Dumbles to drop in from time to time, to monitor Harry's maltreatment and threaten and keep the Dursleys in line?
Of course for a "good story", it's pretty hard to stay logical and easy to sacrifice logic and continuity and plot holes in order to tweak your readers' emotions.
Don't know if there is a name, but I think of it as the analog opposite of a deux ex machina, when "dumb shit" happens but maybe the dumbness is tolerated for the sake of angst, or hurt, or whatever the author is trying to serve up on the emotional buffet.
I don't know how JKR figleafed over the I'm sure questions about her series of contradictory bits from book to book regarding the monitoring of underage magic and later, the so called "trace". It's also really weird that later editions didn't correct at least the errors that JKR can't "figleaf" over with hand waving magical BS arguments.
In my never completed never posted [I'm not even registered] fics, I usually make the deal being, it's really more an "office of muggleborn magic monitoring and punishing", and Hopkirk et company actually monitor muggleborns by detectors in the area of their homes. Find and disable those detectors, or use magic far enough away from them, and you get off scott free, just like all the pureblood kids, other than the few, with a parent like Molly, who go alone with the MoM ruse that pretend like they monitor all underage magic, but don't, or can't, or could no way afford the expense or complexity to do so.
There may be a line in canon, with one of the Weasley twin terrors sa

continued Part III:

JKR was quoted ages ago as saying that in her mind, Snape remained a life long virgin due to being so in love with Lilly.
Yet he bullies HER SON he made an orphan, as some method of never quenching his thirst for revenge against Harry's look alike father. Snape's bullying abuse, the OCCULIMANCY lessons...no more need be said.

Harry-the-Dumbles-sacrificial-pawn, which I don't recall now if I could conclude how "dumb" Harry was in perceiving the "full picture", like recalling his entire life-Hell laid at Dumbles feet and that he was meant to DIE if not for the fluke/luck that occured by Voldy using his blood for his resurection and to create a new body.
Albus & Severus, the names, in the epilog, being names Harry added to his kid's names, was nauseating and obscene.
Maybe after twenty years of mind healer sessions Harry might come to terms with not at least partially hating Dumbles IF HE HAD THE BRAINPower to objectively LOOK AT HIS LIFE and DUMBLES responsibility in making his life so shitty.
Not hating them maybe, but forgiving them, hell no, especially Snape.
Dumbles, maybe one could rationalize had his "greater good" tunnel vision spectacles, sacrificing pawn Harry's happiness for "the greater good" and to counter and try to defeat Voldy.

Dumbles ONLY sacrificed his LIFE in a suicidal euthanasia, he was a dead man walking, AND LEFT EARLY, LEAVING Harry and his friends WITH BARELY ANY fucking INFO. He was such a secretive manipulative bastard he took most of the secrets with him...or JKR ran completely out of ideas and thought that a main plot that Harry-Hermi-Ron go camping and on a scavanger hunt was a great idea to fill up most of the pages for final book number seven, by Dumbles getting himself euthanized and leaving a game of clue and hide and seek for the golden trio to play, whilst camping all over the U.K. Snape only dies by bad luck that Voldy was an idiot regarding wand lore. Snape in canon acts the great hero, insulting Sirius as being "safe" and cowardly, protected "hiding" out in Grimmauld Place, while Snape, the great brave spy, risks his life, being Dumbles spy, in Voldy's presence, risking being caught by Moldyshorts.
Many fanfics exploit canon regarding lack of evidence that Snape's "spying" was worth shit and the common plot he either was loyal to no one but himself, no matter who won, he could claim to be "working" for the winning side, or, more common, that Dumbles was duped and Snape was truly Voldy's spy the entire time. It's easy to shift the puzzles, for example, the so called occlumancy lessons Snape gives Harry actually damage his natural defenses and help Voldy to invade Harry's mind better.

Now, in war, are there not war crimes committed by all sides, and with the history written by the victors the winning side's "crimes" whitewashed or forgotten a lot more than the losers war crimes?
Must a general be not be too "fond" of his troops, and willing to sacrifice huge numbers if needed, in order to win a war?
So, was Dumbles EVIL, or just willing to step up and wear the "generals hat" and in order to defeat Voldy, willing to do all that he did, including causing most of Harry's suffering for most of his life, until Voldy was finally "ended"?
Ignoring whatever EVIL Dumbles got up to during his years running and scheming with Grindleboy, for their "greater good", and just weighing canon Dumbles since the night when Harry got the curse scar, one might give canon Dumbles a barely "not completely guilty" verdict for being an evil, manipulative, justifying rationalizing for the greater good, right utter complete bastard asshole. BUT THAT'S CANON'S BEST CASE best most forgiving POV of Dumbles. THEREFORE, in fanficdom, with canon Dumbles barely passing a canon stink test, an evil and/or manipulative Dumbles is probably more common, or at least in more original non-cookie cutter plager crap copycats of canon fanfics. I'd guess a manipulative bastard and/or evil Dumbles is more common than a Leader of the Light, for the greater good, end justifies the means, canon Dumbles that I suppose is supposed to be "good", as afterall; Harry names his spawn after Dumbles and Snape. And ...vomit, lauds Snape as the "bravest man he ever knew", while comforting said poor son, sadly burdened to be named after such shitheads.
Yeah, right, ADULT SNAPE, bravery scale, versus 12 year old Harry bravery scale facing Voldy diary and a thousand year old giant basilisk.
Thirteen year old Harry versus a hundred plus dementors.
Fourteen year old Harry, dead Cedric, handicapped by his idiot painful curse scar pain, surrounded by a dozen plus Death Eaters AND tortured with crucio curses, and dueled Voldy, AND ESCAPED, Ha!
Seventeen year old Harry, suicide by Voldy, AK'd in the forest. Yeah, right, Snape is braver than that, LMFAO!

JKR probably intended it to be brave and noble.
BUT Harry's ENTIRE LIFE WAS JUST ONE SHIT COVERED SHOE DROPPING AFTER THE OTHER. MONTH BY MONTH, LIKE A SHOE WEARING MILLIPEDE TAKING OFF SHIT COVERED SHOES, ONE BY ONE. THEN, THANKS TO DUMBLES' pawn Snape, Harry gets the final shittiest shoe of all, HE learns he's a fucking horcrux, and to save EVERYONE ELSE BUT HIMSELF, he must commit suicide by Voldy, voldicide. It's likely completely UNintended by JKR, but HOW can you NOT feel that Harry's kamikazi voldicide is more about the non-life HELL Dumbles orchestrated him to endure the previous fifteen and a half years [if memory serves, seventeen minus fifteen month old baby Harry getting AK'd].
One can imagine NOT so much difference between a young terrorist guided/trained/manipulated/brainwashed by OLD fart fat Mullahs, young kamikaze pilots of WWII, and Harry Potter, who has in essence been a guided missle aimed by Dumbles, flying toward a final end, for fifteen and a half years, before THE END of BOOK SEVEN, flying toward a final meeting with Voldy. Not counting the epilog of nineteen or whatever number of years later crap.

In a sentence, you can say that all Voldy did and does is try to kill Harry. Sure he tortures Harry, in visions, and before trying to AK him at the graveyard, and in the atrium of the Ministry of Magic. But Dumbles is basically responsible for much of Harry's entire LIFE being torturous, add up all those hours, all those minutes, at Hogwarts when life there was shitty, and all that TIME in Durskaban.
Trewalry, Snape, Dumbles, Voldy... who holds what responsibility for Harry's suffering and fucked up life?
Voldy maybe "caused" all of Harry's suffering INDIRECTLY.
But OVER YEARS, Dumbles and Snape consciously and DIRECTLY caused Harry near continuous suffering and to live a crappy life. Dumbles can try to make excuses, Snape has NONE. Snape and wormtail sent Voldy on the path that cut the wound, but Dumbles through the Dursleys kept rubbing salt in it, and at Hogwarts Snape was a greasy bat version of Vernon in many ways, rubbing salt in the wound for the nine months out of the year Harry was NOT in Durskaban.

Imagine IF Voldy had not used Harry's blood, so Harry had no get out of death jail a second time card to be the boy-who-lived-twice. Fifteen months of babyhood, ten years of hell in Durskaban, he at least is allowed to stay over Yule [xmas among magicals, lol, please!], but three months each summer is Durskaban hell. So UP until being ostracized when his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, Harry gets 3x9/12 2 yrs and three months, or two years and five months by around all Hallows eve if that's the night his name came out of Goblet of Fire. Three years of school of nine months and the rest of his fourteen years of life than the first fifteen months as a baby, have been HELL. Excluding his babyhood, with alive parents, Harry's had two years and five months of non-Hell in fourteen years NOT counting SUBTRACTING MORE MONTHS, for shitty weeks and months like for example, the assassination attempts by QuirrelDeMort, Hermione petrified and much of the school treating him as a dark lord heir of Slytherin, fearing Sirius most of third year. So REALLY, how many of those non-hell two years and five months were not pretty hellish or rotten, at Hogwarts, for the BWL, the fucking SAVIOUR of the fucking ungrateful idiotic sheeple morons of the magical U.K.?

Imagine Dumbles ORIGINAL plan, that HARRY MUST DIE AND WOULD DIE, and the utter BS of Dumbles claim of treating Harry as a mushroom [in the dark fed shit], that he wanted to help Harry have a happy childhood LOL, LMFAO! Imagine THAT, if Harry hadn't had the luck of the fluke of Voldy using his blood and "had to die" and was used by Dumbles as the pawn he planned, the SHORT HELLISH LIFE and then sacrifice "for the greater good", ALL engineered by Dumbles.

What's weird that I should make use in some of my never posted incomplete fics that is so OBVIOUS a plot gag, but I've rarely seen it used:
THE TRUE canon of Dumbles and the non-book canon [JKR interviews most likely] that Dumbles was gay and Grindlewald's lover. Canon in the books leaks out in book seven that the "greater good" Dumbles-Grindlboy plan was for ENSLAVING MUGGLES and magicals NO LONGER having to hide, but ruling the world. The obvious fanfic plot gag I've not seen used much for "evil-Dumbles" is simple, the cliche of a "leapard NOT changing their spots", that Dumbles really didn't reform all that much since he and Grindleboy planned to take over the world, rule the world, for the "greater good"... or rather the BAD SHIT they'd planned on doing for "taking over" and magicals no longer hiding and ruling over the muggles was justified as not so horrible a crime because it was afterall, "for the greater good!".
In true same leapard spotted form for rationalizing in Dumbles head it was not all that evil to do, Harry being a pawn sheep prepped for a final slaughter, via Voldy, was also, "for the greater good", afterall, so therefore Dumbles is "light" and not an evil SOB.
I've seen a few fanfics using this gag I suppose, variation

Nice ending, looking forward to the rest of the series

I... Actually really enjoy your series here. I was debating it when I first saw it, but I'm very happy with the results. The one thing that bothered me is how long it took me to realize the little girl was from bioshock. When she said she had the best daddies in chap 12 I believe it finally clicked... Then you pretty much told us she's from bioshock right after. I was very annoyed with myself. But anyway fantastic work! Somehow your powering up your character to a Gary Stu level, but not making him a Gary Stu! Keep up the great work!

Spiderman 3, AND Superman Returns? You sick bastard, you MADMAN!

Think they would've played Fallout, wouldn't you? Ha ha!

really good story so far and great scooby but a second version of biotics seems like it

Haha, I just love angel, she just seems...lovable but the dog now i'm not sure if alex and the dog are gonna get along and if not alex than jason

Glad to see you back also glad to see our favorite wild and craazzzy guys back in action anyway so far so good keep up the good work
