Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

- *They lost the key*
- The outside gate was rather "low tech" like a vault door. Then over time need arised to add layers of improved gate technology in the inner area. Also maybe adding several layers of defensive systems (turrets, mines, drones, ...).
- The innermost door now is a computer controlled thing that needs a advanced cryptographic secure key to open up. If the wrong key is used, the door either don't move at all or still opens up but the defensive systems are attacking anyone. This was intended to prevent underground people from trying to exit without the consent of all.
- At some point they either lost the "usb-stick" (of course some gold-plated key card is cooler) with the key on it, it got damaged or they deliberately decided to destroy it and stay undergrounds forever.
Story could focus on the social conflicts and behaviors among humans in dire situations. One or many. How to decide things, etc.

Story would focus on the social conflicts because of that, maybe.

*Earthquakes blocked the exits and damaged outside cameras*This can lead to:* They want to go overgrounds, but can't because of the nature of how the earthquake damaged infrastructure* They don't know (anymore) what is going on overgrounds, so they stay safe rather than risk anything
