As civilization crumbles, a few people attempt their individual survival by whatever means they can. Preppers stock and prepare for their bleak futures, while others have been selected by the government to occupy secretly constructed vast below-ground sanctuaries. The powerful, wealthy, and top echelon of society are to be transported to the sanctuaries, where they might exist in relative comfort for years.

However, there are a few who discover rumors of the sanctuaries. An unlikely trio of a street mugger who finds others have little to steal as society declines, along with a deceptively intelligent young woman and an overweight man with the ability to make creative business deals, team up together. Their goal is simple. They want access into a secret government sanctuary that few know exist. To get there, they must travel through Portland, Oregon as riots flair, gangs destroy, and their timeline of opportunity closes.

The AI voice isn’t good yet

The story was interesting, scary, possible. The AI voice isn’t awesome. No real inflection. Plenty of mispronunciation. I prefer a human in this job.
I guess I know what job I should apply for when I get laid off from my social worker gig by the regime.
