Shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, an experiment had been begun on a tiny island in the arctic ocean. If, as was feared, the world was destroyed in a nuclear war, the human race would be annihilated. In order to ensure the survival of the species, it was necessary that long term survival underground was possible, and the Hibernation Project was begun to explore methods and possibilities. Infants were placed in fully automated nurseries in bunkers deep underground. The installations were run by early AI and powered by geothermal heat.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, the scientists in charge of the project were quietly put to death, and all records of the experiment were erased. The frozen island was thought to be uninhabited for twenty years.
Katya had been underground since she was 6 weeks old. Now she is twenty, and the only one of the children put underground to have survived. The machines that run the place continue to synthesize food and provide clean air and water. While the other children succumbed to depression and suicide as a result of their isolation, Katya somehow managed to have hope that someday, things would be different.
This is that day. A satellite passing overhead had revealed the airstrip that had been built on the island, and the structures that remained, half buried in snow and ice. Recognizing the signs of a secret soviet military installation, and fearing the potential of undocumented nuclear or biological weaponry, a team was sent to investigate.
The equipment on the surface had long since stopped working, but the team found a tunnel leading deep underground.
