Summary
We are the chosen few. One hundred of us being groomed for salvation. All we must do is follow the divine orders given to us by the superiors. Residents who prove to be uncooperative or ungrateful are cast out, forced to live as Adam and Eve did after their original sin. Sent back to the horrors of the Outside.

***Note: Religious themes and Christianity in this work have very little to do with modern-day religious practices. I simply picked Catholicism because it is how I grew up and what I am most familiar with. I do not mean to slander or insult anyone's deeply held religious beliefs.
