Silo One Cafeteria

Silo One's cafeteria serves measured preserved meals beneath a massive screen showing the ruined outside world.

Story so far

Troy first reached the cafeteria by taking the lift upward and found only men dining there. Its far wall is covered by a massive screen, and its meals resemble the canned food served during orientation.

The serving line scans badges before dispensing measured portions; food also comes from tubes behind glass. Most diners choose seats facing the outside view. The menu includes reconstituted eggs and freeze-dried toast.

Appearance

A massive screen covers the far wall; a glass serving line dispenses food from tubes and scans diners' badges.

Role

The cafeteria supplies controlled meals and a prominent view of the ruined outside.
