Server Headset

A headset interface connects server equipment and numbered silo lines; it also supports monitored questioning and Donald’s current private call.

Story so far

A plastic headset stored in a cloth case inside a server gives access to communications: inserting its plug into the correct jack initiates a connection. Bernard Holland used the equipment to speak with Silo One, while a flashing light above line 17 signaled an incoming call. Lukas subsequently called through that numbered jack and used equipment behind a locked server panel to answer Juliette.

Server headphones carried the conversation formally appointing Lukas. During questioning, sensors in a shadow’s headset allowed skin conductivity, pulse, and perspiration to be monitored. Donald Keene now uses a headset for his call from the communications room.
