From 32nd Century Wyoming, Spavin Lawson led a group of
one-thousand refugees from the bunker that housed Resurgent City in
a search for better times. The 22nd Century Government bunker had
exceeded the design specifications of its creators thanks to the
leadership of its first elected Mayor. A small city had expanded
and prospered inside the mountain. The original population of less
than two hundred souls had grown into nearly five-thousand.
Unfortunately, the ancient nuclear power plant that provided the
people the power to survive had leaked radiation for generations.
The net effect of the radiation and the cave environment had
altered the population. The people had developed genetic albinism
with eyes well suited to the dimly lit cave city. Small in stature
yet curious and adaptive, the Tribe followed the tall, dark-haired
man and his wife without question. The outside world was foreign
and frightening but within days, the people realized that The
Judges of Resurgent City had held them in a grasp of religious
fervor not based on factuality or reality. The journey they
embarked upon was destined to lead them to the coast of Texas.
Spavin Lawson, physicist by training, believed the coast would
provide better opportunities for the otherwise doomed population.
He reckoned that South Texas? coast would allow the petite, pale
people to re-establish the human race on Earth. That location was
further from the immediate geological and environmental effects of
the Yellowstone super volcano eruption that had induced a global
deep freeze ten centuries earlier. His greatest concerns for
Humankind were the long term effects of the high radiation
exposures and the lack of genetic diversity.
