What do I need to know:
- How does the conflict start
- Who are the main characters
- Why is the world the way it is
- What is the tipping point that gets the story going
Need to know:
- Who the characters are and how old
- The current state the world is in
- The history the characters already have
Can wait:
- What the outside world looks like when humans are inside
- What the robots do and how they communicate
- What happens if you stay out past your time
Incidental:
- How the child is at the point in his life where he is asking questions and wants more freedom
- That he lost his father in the war vs. the robots
