The silo’s bottom third is sparsely represented at Town Hall, where distance and continuous machinery work impede residents’ participation.
The Down Deep begins at level ninety-seven and occupies the silo’s bottom third. Juliette’s parents marked her childhood arrival there at the hundredth landing. Its machinery runs continuously, often requiring extra shifts from workers.
Few residents from the Down Deep attend the Monthly Town Hall. Juliette remembers how the journey and work demands kept her and her friends from learning about decisions until they had already been made.
It is the silo’s lower residential and working region, poorly represented at the meeting.
