Part 2, Chapter 40 Summary: “Silo 18”

Mission decides to find a load going to IT so that he’ll have an excuse to potentially help Rodny. Mission arrives at Central Dispatch, speaks to Katelyn, and learns that Cam was recently there but that he rushed off to pick up a big order at Supply. Mission remembers the order that Wyck offered and realizes that Cam took Wyck’s offer. Mission chases after Cam, hoping to beat him to Supply to get the load himself so that he’ll have an excuse to return to IT.

Part 2, Chapter 41 Summary

Mission rushes down to Supply. He waits there for several minutes to speak to the woman, Joyce, whom Wyck told him to speak to. Joyce tells him that someone already picked up the order. Mission asks where it was going in the hopes of catching up to Cam, and she tells him six levels down. As Mission rushes downstairs, he hears an explosion down below and sees the railing torn apart. Mission rushes toward the damage, realizing that the explosion happened on the level where Cam was headed. Mission reaches the landing and finds the door to level 116 blown apart. Above him, a woman screams that a porter caused the explosion.
