April and her older brother Jeff hid in their basement while listening for explosions on the surface.


    Their parents had both died.

    "Not directly, April. Do you remember that singularity announcement?"


    "Yes! The super AI will save the world!"

    "Huh? Make sense, bro."


    "Well, for every puppet, there is a puppet master."
