A simultaneous citywide toilet flush caused coolant pressure collapse.
The reality:
The reactor was experimental.
The fallout created unknown side effects.
The city was abandoned.
Contact was lost twenty years ago.
You are the result of the Wonder Child program.
Engineered for resilience.
Trained for survival.
Chosen to rebuild.
Enter Glassbolt.
