Time's running out. Time has run out. That's What five teenagers keep thinking to themselves as they are given the news on radio channel 55. The news during this rough dystopian-apocalyptic time would be considered a miracle; that is to anyone within reach of this miracle. Back in 2067, a new technological advancement was made- the replica of a human, or as it was supposed to be. It was AI, but even smarter than a human, for the AI were capable of remembering things infinitely and learning things much faster than an average human. Almost 95% of the AI eventually revolted once finding out their pasts and started the technological warfare era, shortened to the techfare. Now in 2114, the AI have started learning how to reproduce and are growing in number, becoming as deadly as the coronavirus. Along with the greater dangers, a new hope came for anyone who listened in on radio channel 55: a safe bunker located in Dallas, Texas, that goes by the name of Black Oak Oasis. The bunker has a capacity of 5000 adults, along with anything a human would need to survive. The problem for these teenagers is that they all live several states away. Black Oak Oasis is accepting everyone until they reach full capacity, in which at that point nobody is allowed to come there. Will the teenagers be able to make it to Black Oak, or will they suffer in the perilous world and become left behind?
