A particularly moving pair of Voxophone entries is by Hattie Gerst, the wife of a Handyman.It's likely not so much a taunt, it's a warning from someone who doesn't want to hurt you but has to fight. It puts something of a new spin on many of the enemy's quotes, such as "GET DOWN!" when electrifying the skylines. The entrance of Comstock House shows photos of generic NPC under their various "sins" and a Handyman appears only on a board titled Pacifist. It doesn't help that they constantly scream that they're in pain while attacking. Given the imagery on the Handymen booth seen in the fair in the Beasts of America trailer they are likely sick and/or disabled people who were turned into these monstrosities, probably against their will, given Columbia's eugenicist ideals. Ken Levine has confirmed there's a tragic backstory behind the Handymen.Just the SOUND of their hands moving should be enough to get anyone freaking out. Just to emphasize how much more disturbing they are over the Big Daddies, you get a viewport with the subject's beating heart on full display.

Remember that priest that had to 'baptize' you before you could actually get into Columbia? He was blind.
