"I'm only going to go over this one time, so sit down and pay attention. Look, people, us, we all have been waging war for as long as there have been rocks to throw at eachother. Everything kills everything else. You know when you tell a joke that sounds like a real piece of gold in your head, but by the time it comes, out, everyone in the room is kind of squinting in your direction in disbelief like you just told your mom to suck it at the dinner table? Yeah, I guess some political types thought it was a great idea to start slinging bombs around, telling eachother to suck it, but this joke got bad fast. Things were less forgiving this time. Before the rest of the world could even squint and give an awkward look, shit got real.
One evening you're on top of the world, the next thing you know, some pricks pull the world out from under ya. Look, does it even matter who did what at this point? It was mortals. Russia, the US, their friends, their enemies... just about everyone with a nuke came to the party to wave their dicks around.
Clearly there was at least some foresight, or we wouldn't be having this conversation right now - be thankful for that at least. Look, we were top of the food chain once upon a time... or so we thought. Some ancient, powerful types like you wouldn't believe roamed around. No joke, these dudes were like gods stalking the damn nights. So why the hell would anyone give a shit what a bunch of scurrying mortals were up to? How many gods do you see walking around here about now? Yeah, don't you ever get that full of yourself. But hey, the joke's on us I guess. Funny shit, man... a real riot.
All I know is, when the shit hit the fan, I followed the food and that led me here. How many followed suit in other cities? I have as much idea as you do. Plain and simple, all we can count on, is that the couple million people in this city might be all that's left. Probably not, but what does it even matter? You want to go top side and find out? Yeah, me neither. I haven't seen anyone come knocking in two centuries, and I'm not expecting company... ever.
What we have here is all we've got, so don't fuck with it. Any of it. Understood?
