Oh boy, last thing I remember is glowing things falling from the sky, and then I got bopped on the head and woke up a week later in a desolate city. Do you remember what happened in The Darkest Hour?

Answers
1) They have an app that basically tells them all the hot bumping places to go in a city. And with this Moscow deal they’ll be the real deal and rich af. About that though … turns out their Swedish partner totally boned them. Ugh. Time to party.
2) The two women had solicited online advice about where to go in Moscow. Seeing as they were setting up an app to do just that for young partying adults, the boys gave them a few tips. And naturally they just had to say hello when they bumped into each other at the sweeeeeet bar.
3) They are attempting to go to the U.S. Embassy … unfortunately it is abandoned as well. As a matter of fact everything but an apartment inhabited by Sergei and Vika are abandoned.
4) They detect aliens using anything electric, so throw out a ton of lightbulbs and voila! You can see the aliens coming. They can hide behind glass which is an insulator, they detect people via their electromagnetic field. And they can kill the aliens by freezing them with a microwave gun, and then using standard bullets to blow them apart.
5) They are mining in some capacity. It is suggested that they seem to eat copper and gold and stuff form the ground as those are good electrical conductors. They could just as easily be just you know … mining it, but I’m going to take the screenwriter’s word on their intentions.
Ah right, basically the entire world was destroyed by crazy lightning-aliens, and now we live in a submarine to help with the worldwide human resistance. Sounds like a living nightmare.
