Surety

Bruce believes that a nuclear attack is very near. “That’s where I’m at. You’re talking to the fellow who’s got probably the largest private survival complex in North America. You’ve gotta be motivated, y’know? I travel in a circle where everybody believes this is going to happen”, he said. 

Welfare

Bruce had spent 50 years of his life in planning and building the Ark Two. And all of it not for himself but for the society, so that the human race could carry on and society would be able to reconstruct itself after the nuclear war.

Criticism

It is a very common occurrence that whenever someone tries to do something by himself, the whole society stands against him to criticize him/her. The case was similar to Bruce’s, even though he had done everything for others. 

Called Out

Everybody started calling Bruce ‘nuts’ for he had spent countless years and a huge amount of his money in building something the use of which was never even assured. But he smiles back at them all for he knows when an emergency will occur, he will have the solution.

All That Is Needed

The underground orphanage that Bruce has built is not just a structure. It has all the facilities that are required in a home. Bruce claims that around 500 people would be able to enjoy the comfort of home in this bunker of his’. 

Necessities

The Ark Two has a dentist chair, cubbyholes for firearms, and even a brig if the need occurs. There is also a decontamination room, and all things never even thought of in an emergency. Any person staying inside the Ark Two would be able to survive an apocalypse.
