Ten founders establish the Colorado refuge, then debate sacrificing most residents so fifteen people can survive and pursue revenge.
John believes some members of Tracy’s group appear on agency watch lists, while Tracy credits him with enabling their survival. Ten founders establish a mountain shelter in Colorado and bring nearly five thousand people inside under various pretexts. They have no formally recognized leader.
After watching broadcasts of explosions and mass deaths, the founders debate killing most of the residents to support a fifteen-person population. Their planned long-term group consists of nine founders and six chosen people, and they intend revenge against those who caused the catastrophe.
