The Great Exodus lasted for two years with large ships boarding all those who had gathered at collection centers. But not everyone left the planet.A large group of humans, who for various reasons had not been able to leave, organized themselves near the bay of Vancouver where an underground city was built, sheltered from solar radiation.
