He brings in only the strongest and fiercest men and women convicts and places them in the levels below. They never see the light of day but they are treated like gods and love Mikhail. As families begin to grow so does his army. Each level also has a specific function...to produce futuristic weapons, vehicles, armament and aircraft for his growing army.
