Silo Twelve Reports

The Silo Twelve Reports document its fall; Donald recognizes his own report under Troy’s name and is asked to explain what he remembers.

Story so far

Reports on the Silo Twelve disaster attribute it to failures by an IT shadow, the IT head and the Security chief. They include video-feed keycodes in the margins, while Troy’s additional findings require psychiatric verification.

Paul Thurman later gave Donald Keene a copy of a report about a young man’s terrible actions. Donald recognized the signature as his own handwriting under the name Troy. Reading it brought back memories of giving an awful order and seeing people trampled, and Thurman wanted him to explain what he remembered. The report bears pale blue stains from Donald’s earlier tears.

Donald’s report theorizes that IT heads begin shadowing too young and recommends raising the age. It mentions an inductee whose great-grandmother retained memories and recommends allowing each inductee one question. Anna Thurman identifies Donald’s document as a copy of the annotated original; the old report concerns Silo Twelve’s fall.
