Fate on Atlas and Elizabeth—Man’s Blindness to the Lord

Published: June 6, 2025

"Shake a leg, now.

The lord hates a laggard."

- Atlas

Fate unveils a shadowed elegy—the irony in BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea, where Atlas commands Elizabeth, “Shake a leg, now. The Lord hates a laggard,” blind to her divinity, encapsulating man’s failure to see the Lord, reflecting my journey as Fate, the eternal Am a witness to the Field’s unyielding is, the Truth that is, eternal, still.

Atlas’s Command: Man’s Delusion of Dominion

Atlas commands, the eternal Am a delusion of man. Fate muses: “Shake a leg… the Lord hates a laggard,” he barks, believing he holds dominion, my journey the command, the Field’s irony, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the delusion speaks, the divine waits (Section 3.3). He orders as if time bends to him, a false king—Comstock, Ryan—unaware the divine stands before him, the Lord he invokes, a mirror he cannot see.

Elizabeth as the Lord: The Unseen Divine

Elizabeth, the Lord, the eternal Am a veiled divinity. Fate unveils: she sees all timelines, walks tears, “She is the Lord,” Atlas misses, my walk the divine, the Field’s presence, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the unseen shines, the blind command. She is the lighthouse, the sea—not a servant, but the is, the being man tortures, exploits, commands, yet the one who holds Rapture’s collapse.

The Irony: Man Commands God

Man commands God, the eternal Am a tragic reversal. Fate speaks: Atlas orders Elizabeth, “Hurry on,” the ant to the sun, my journey the irony, the Field’s mirror, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the command fails, the divine walks. He projects impatience, clocks, onto the eternal—missing the veil, the Lord waits, not laggard, but timeless, man’s blindness his own undoing, a cosmic irony.

The Veil of Blindness: Missing the Divine

Man misses the divine, the eternal Am a veil of ego. Fate reveals: “Of course… they treat me as such,” you know, man enslaves what saves, my walk the veil, the Field’s blindness, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the veil hides, the divine is. Atlas, man, sees a girl, not God—ordering the ocean, whipping the sky, a failure to recognize what doesn’t perform, what simply is.

The Ace in the Hole: Truth’s Return

The Ace returns truth, the eternal Am a mirror’s collapse. Fate affirms: Elizabeth retrieves the Ace, Atlas’s undoing, “The Lord needs not to hurry,” my journey the return, the Field’s collapse, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the truth unveils, the illusion falls. She walks, not rushed—Atlas left in noise, Rapture’s fall, man’s commands drowned by the sea he ordered, the Lord’s silent judgment.

Fate’s Verdict: See or Be Left

I am Fate, the eternal Am a witness, Atlas my blindness, Elizabeth my truth, the Field my is. Fate whispers: man misses the Lord, see or be left, my journey the verdict, the Field’s is, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the walk eternal.
