Thea, Alley's no longer gonna exist future daughter
unknown friend (not yet written)
Zeke
## PROLOGUE:
Thea, Alley's daughter, stumbles across a wasteland, fleeing recon drones that,
if they find her, will send a message back to scramble antipersonnel drones to
wipe her from the face of the planet. She stumbles upon a hatch set in the
scoured rock of an area already cut down to the bedrock by the flames of war,
and miraculously the hatch just opens up and lets her in. She finds herself

recognizes as its targets, programmatically determined by human developers who
set this runaway juggernaut in motion.

## RESOURCES:
### Urban Escape And Evasion
This is based on . . .
> Note To Self: Find an actual existing book that offers what purpose
> "Underground OpSec" is meant to fulfill, and use that in the story instead of
> this fake book. Make sure to check the replacement book so it will turn out
> to be something worth including here and making it available to readers like
> a recommendation, instead of being a turkey that shouldn't really be
> included.
. . . a note to improve the book choices in the scene where George gives some
books to Alley for her to read and learn some things about staying out of
COIN's metaphorical hands in the future.

Perhaps I should replace "wipe her from the face of the planet" with something
more like "reduce the number of remaining humans on the planet by one".
Perhaps, instead, I should refer to this as some kind of act of scouring away
the target so that there is no biological evidence of her ever having existed
in the first place.
