Wallscreens
The wallscreens display the outside wasteland and, when clouds permit, stars; clouds currently obstruct the cafeteria’s nighttime view.
Story so far
Great screens on the silo’s upper level show different portions of the outside wasteland. Dirt on camera lenses and airborne grime blur the cafeteria’s projection, while the Holding Cell display has dozens of pixels stuck bright white. Both Holston and Allison have questioned whether the displayed world is misleading.
A dust whirlwind briefly darkened the cafeteria view by crossing the sensors. Gaps in nighttime clouds have revealed stars there, but clouds obscure them on the latest evening.

Large wall displays show portions of an outside wasteland. The holding-cell screen has bright white stuck pixels, and the cafeteria view can blur with grime or lose sight of stars behind clouds.
