When they went to sleep they dreamed of being heroes and pioneers. When they woke, there was nothing.
Seventy-six teenagers entered cryosleep in efforts to repopulate the earth after chemical warfare made the ground unsurvivable. Fifty years later...
2046: The toxins were released. Chemical warfare. Silent attack, death came slow. No nation was safe, no nation was innocent.
2048: Sightings of mutants all around the globe. The chemicals? It wasn't clear. Keep your gas mask on.

2085: The New Dawn bunker was thriving. Strong community, dedicated schools, vibrant youth. We could make a life like this. It wouldn't be so bad.
2105: The walls began to deteriorate. The air flow began to slow. We looked around the metal walls and saw a prison in our sanctum.

2110: Groups went out to test the air. Those who came back brought negative results. But they saw beasts without masks, a species who had learned to breathe in the air. With slow exposure, a tolerance could be developed. Only that would take years, years we did not have.
2116: Seventy years had passed. It was time to come home. The brightest youth were chosen, trained on everything they may need to know to survive on the ground. They were henceforth dubbed the Saviors.

2118: The Saviors went into cryosleep, where they were exposed to a slow and steady of stream of the air from above. Fifty years to develop tolerance.
2130: There would be no more survival in the New Dawn Bunker. In one year, time to evacuate. Pray the gas masks were enough. Leave the Saviors; when they wake, they may have a chance.
2131: Scientists wiped the Saviors' memories. It would hurt too much to wake and find their whole world disappeared.
