* Needs a name - Gleaming something something (an elegant name that would say something like light in the darkness implying there is hope for humanity in the shadows of the dome)
* Inhabitants never arrived in the numbers that were expected so while there are a lot of people there, many buildings/homes are essentially time capsules
* All except two have failed and the contained people have perished or escaped
* One of them automatically interrupts the "cryogenic sleep" of the contained person in an attempt to save the life of the contained person before a breakdown
* The last one is still intact and working
* Has enough supplies to last the contained people for a couple weeks
__People:__
Just some ideas for characters, may or may not be protagonists
* Possible ending for her storyline: She either gets a plane going and flies somewhere else to explore the world or dies in the attempt - maybe left ambiguous
* One morning, Annie gets awoken at work by her coworkers who find her asleep at the terminal. The coworkers should say things like "Oh, Annie the computer expert? Why the sudden career change?"
While she won’t find it funny in the moment, it’s nothing mean-spirited or anything the like.
* Annie waits at the train station that her and Jack have decided on. At the same time, a train and "keepers of order" (police) arrive at the station. Annie panics for a moment before she realizes that it is a single, very rusty railcar - it had to come from outside. She also sees that the driver is wearing a CryoCorp jacket. The doors open as she runs towards it. Inside, Jack runs to the other side. The railcar starts to move again (in the opposite direction) as Annie reaches it. She jumps inside. It leaves the station and the doors close.
__Story:__
Subplot to get the story started:
* Annie and Jack get into contact through a terminal at Annie’s workplace.
* They later establish contact from Annie’s grandpa’s place.
* Jack is stuck in the CryoCorp bunker and needs a manual to fix a door so he can leave.
* Annie finds it unexpectedly difficult to procure a copy of said manual
* Apparently any information about that type of door is top secret
* She almost gets put on a watch list trying to get the manual at the library
* She sneaks into some place and steals a floppy disk that holds a copy but it turns out to be encrypted
* Somehow, they come to the conclusion that hijacking a minicomputer to break the encryption would be a great idea - they end up stealing one (an entire half-height rack filled with stuff)
* At the end of it, Annie wants to sneakily return any stolen property back to its rightful owners (at this point, she is definitely being watched, so she has to be extra careful)
* This happens in a matter of days to a week. During this time, Annie quits her job with nothing lined up as she makes plans with Jack for how to leave the city (which might be what makes her suspicious)
* Quitting her job may be prompted by a nightmare about being stuck in a building
* Once Jack finally manages to open the door, he unfreezes Michelle
* they use the bunker as a base and set up a sort of open air workshop around the entrance
* They stay in contact with Annie and continue working on the escape plan
* somehow, this has to end with Jack driving a train into the dome and picking up Annie before making a hasty exit
* They have to use code words as the phone lines are being monitored by now
