Neighboring Silo IT

The neighboring silo’s IT department occupies level thirty-four. Its ransacked offices still have power, and Juliette and Raph find its doors unlocked.

Story so far

The IT offices on level thirty-four were in disarray during the evacuation. Someone wearing a complete cleaning suit emerged from IT onto the crowded landing. The later surroundings of Jimmy’s refuge bore the marks of intrusion: charred remains of a fire in the hallway, scratches and dents on the steel door, and an attempted removal of the external keypad. The security station stood unmanned and the offices were ransacked.

When Juliette explored the department, lights and at least one computer still worked among emptied drawers, overturned cabinets, and scattered paper. She repeatedly climbed back to IT while working elsewhere in the silo. Now she and Raph arrive on level thirty-four to find the IT doors unlocked and the lights on.

Appearance

Role

A surviving powered area of the neighboring silo, now accessible to Juliette and Raph through unlocked doors.
