In real life the .001% have prepared underground fortresses, like towns,and they started to do preparations since 1913 when the Federal Reserve Bank Scam was started. that is when we became the chattel of the government, which leads to an interesting article about the time the French asked the Federal RB to hold on to French money and out of control of the Germans should the war went badly. In order to get their money back France sent the entire French army to DC to demand the return of their money. What you give to the banks, they consider it to be theirs.
When FDR decided to steal the gold from Americans at gunpoint and threat of gaol, he caused Ft Knox to be built to hold his ill-gotten gains. At the repository there are still some crown jewels and other nifty things. During WWII the Magna Carta was stored there, as well as plans to take Britain’s crown jewels for safekeeping in case Operation Sealion actually came about.
Endtown is pretty much like one of the suburb levels that Holly and her husband lived on just before the End. It had the same fire suppression technology, which we saw used when the buddy bombs went off. This Endtown was likely built by a parallel Flask, as the Duchess, using as much Hillside/Topside technology as was available through the centuries. Either she lived through its construction, with Marx’s help, or she had successors throughout to carry on the work. I suspect that the Oracle may be a transformed Flask somehow, maybe made up of dittos. She and Marx have been watching universes paralleling the past and the future, so they know what’s likely coming and have prepared for it, using the current and maybe future technology. The End itself may have come about because people who could see parallels of the future tried to use that technology and it got out of hand because they weren’t ready for it.
Jacob knows a lot more about Endtown’s technology that we expected. He probably learned about it from the rats, who were supporting Endtown and getting it ready before the End. We don’t know how long Endtown was under construction beyond centuries, but it could have been millennia, enough time for sapient rats to evolve, especially if their evolution was directed and they were trained to support the town. Endtown could be a generation ship that was meant to travel through history instead of space.

why hide the fact you have a neat fire control system?

Wolf-B-Gone Riot Control System.

Doesn’t look like any fire suppression system I’ve ever seen, and more like crowd elimination then control to me.

Yep, things are DEFINITELY getting even more interesting.

Mallard made this fire suppression system, didn’t he?

Ah, now things are picking up.

I think the point is that it is TOPSIDER TECHNOLOGY!

I should think there’s more than one bit of Topsider technology keeping Endtown going. If nothing else, how do they keep the air and water pure?
