Behind the Green Door

I did say this story is an amalgam of many other stories, with my own slant on everything. Until you reach the point where there needs to be some clarification about how this facility, or underground city, has survived for nearly 200 years.

How many generations is that?

So, if we stagger the ages of the initial inductees from 1 through to 45, over 25,000 specially selected people across the whole spectrum of occupations, and consider these vocations are needed into the future, and for when they can finally emerge back outside, hoping there will be an equal number of males and females, that a pandemic doesn’t hit and decimate the population…

I’m glad this is a work of fiction, because trying to master all of those variables would be nigh on impossible. But it does pose an interesting question if we had to suddenly abandon the outside because of a nuclear war.

So having sidetracked myself it’s time to go back to the story.

Miranda has been reset, yes she is a robot, a very lifelike one at that, and Michael uses Elsie’s name, and it basically causes Miranda to sound like Elsie and reinstate all of her memories.

Michael knows that it wouldn’t be difficult to mimic her voice, nor would it be hard to know everything about her, but he does think it is in poor taste and an indication of how low management would go to get answers to questions relating to his cases.

Perhaps if he had been more forthcoming in the case reports this might not be an issue had the things he had learned were not so contentious.
