    Survivors underground in a major city need one thing more than anything else: Power. A war for power is in the making and in the mean time reliance on an A.I. is changing the way people do things in every way. Whether or not the AI is out of alignment depends on who you ask. Who is in control, people or the AI?Enviro-suits are wearable survival garments that cool the body, filter air, manage humidity, and protect against heat spikes and toxic environments.

Encrypted digital currencies like Cashola are post-collapse monetary systems used to pay workers outside AI-controlled economies. Coin authentication A.I. is a vision system capable of distinguishing real pre-collapse currency from printed fakes. Crem makers are advanced food fabrication appliances that convert biological input into bread, meat, cheese, and other foods.
