Rapture Central Control

Vita-chambers

 * In the entry hall
 * In Ryan's office (offline)

Normal Sequence
Rapture Central Control is basically just hurry up and wait. There are several pauses.


 * Ryan makes his big "a time to destroy" speech (during which the door to the next room is blocked by an invisible barrier)
 * The "Would You Kindly" room's door is locked for a bit to complete Atlas' radio message
 * The whole "a man chooses" sequence - first the conversation through the glass, then the conversation face to face.
 * Atlas's speech
 * Fontaine's speech

Ryan's 1st speech is on a timer. You can't get past the barrier before the timer ends.

But Altas's radio message is triggered at the end of Ryan's speech. And it can block the door in the "Would You Kindly" room. So radio skip Ryan's speech ("Continue to Core" is shortest), then loot the room. Have a wrench ready to knock out the grating.

There's no known way out of the "man chooses" sequence. Be at the door when it opens.

Both Atlas's and Fontaine's speeches are radio-skippable. "Continue to Core" for the first, "Override Self-Destruct" for the second - you'll be waiting for it at the end of the level.

Useful Death Warps
None.

The only one that might've been useful - between Ryan's speech and Fontaine's, back to the main hall - is impossible. You are invulnerable during this time.
