Video feeds from Silo 12 show chaos as hundreds of people clog the central stairs, attempting to get to the airlock on the first floor. No one knows what caused this exodus. The sheriff’s deputy calls for help on the radio. Troy tells him to lock himself in the holding cell with the keys. Then, Troy orders that they “fire the canisters now” (86) and watches as people breach the outer airlock and immediately begin succumbing to the toxins released around them. Troy calmly orders reports by the end of the day and returns to his office, where he draws a red X through Silo 12.
Donald arrives at the Dwayne Medical Center at RYT Hospital in Boston to meet with Thurman while he undergoes nanobot treatments. Donald is wary of entering the special chamber where the treatments occur, afraid of being infected by nanobots. Both the nurse and Thurman himself assure Donald that the nanobots are programmed only for Thurman’s DNA and can’t infect Donald. However, Thurman then begins talking about how the nanobots can be weaponized, used to undo the good that they were designed to accomplish. Thurman gives Donald the book The Order, instructing him to memorize it, and invites Donald and Helen to join him at the National Convention in 2052.
