After:
After so many years of trashing our planet you won't be surprised when I say it got so bad that it was announced it was the apocalypse. People were freaked though, the idiots, they were screaming and gathering food, preparing for the worse. We acted like animals, defending our property, scavenging what we could. Some people were smart though, they knew that it would all come back to us, they built facilities, underground.
If you were eligible you could get in, if you were eligible. I was a soldier with nine, only me and a partner got in. So you can tell they had high standards when they regarded "eligible".
When it was announced that all the people who were not "eligible" died off, scavengers, as they called them, looked for supplies, anything useful. Me and my partner were scavengers, it was a dangerous job, because when they said all of them died off, they should have said most of them died.
There was no humanity left in them, they became the hell they lived in. They were like rats, except smart. If they became close to starvation they ate themselves or others. We didn't bother trying to rehumanize them, they were dead to us. If anybody mentioned saving them they were kicked out for "research"
As time kept ticking away it became harder to sustain the people and the facility. The sewer rats, we called them, started planning attacks on the facilities, it's like a constant war. We got desperate, we couldn't scavenge if we kept getting ambushed. Our facility was old, with flickering lights and dull rooms.
