Drone Control Room

The Drone Control Room contains flight stations and Charlotte's radio; Darcy has arrested her there.

Story so far

The room at the hallway's end contains about a dozen flight-control stations with yokes, pedals, throttles, and displays. Donald once imagined pilots using them for lethal operations; later he noticed that dust had been removed and the stations had recently been used. Beyond the barracks, Charlotte assembled her radio at a desk beneath large monitors and used it to seek contact with other silos.

Her concealed radio drew her back to the room, where an armed man interrupted her explanation of the diggers. Darcy has now arrested her among the drone stations.

Appearance

About a dozen flight stations have yokes, pedals, throttles, joysticks, and screens; a desk stands beneath a bank of large monitors.
