Server Room

The heavily secured server room contains computers, a concealed ladder and communications equipment; Rodny is now staying among tall black cabinets.

Story so far

The server room is protected by the silo’s most heavily fortified door, initially requiring Bernard Holland’s card and a security code for entry. Cool air comes from the down deep, while fans send the room’s heat down to warm the triple-digit levels. Beneath a movable floor grate, a concealed ladder descends into an area below.

The rearmost server holds the headset Bernard uses to answer calls. An empty server houses a communications uplink and the ladderway’s locking handle; a pulsing red light alerts Lukas when someone enters above his quarters. Peter Billings was allowed no farther than the doorway. The heavy door locks electrically and automatically when closed. Lukas experienced the room as a prison and varied his routes among the servers to relieve the monotony.

The room where Rodny is staying contains rows of tall black computer cabinets. Pulsing red lights illuminate it behind a heavy steel door.
