Juliette hopes to find a way to return to the silo so she can take revenge against Bernard. Lukas is being trained as Bernard’s backup. He teaches her how to communicate with the other silos and she begins talking with Lukas, a man whom she’d known before she was sent out for cleaning. She makes her way into one of them and sets up housekeeping with the one man who survived the fighting in the silo. Juliette explores her surroundings and learns that there are other silos in the area. Juliette also knows that the images she’s seeing in her helmet visor are faked, so she isn’t swayed by them. Juliette is lucky because a friend in mechanical arranges for her cleaning suit to be made out of good materials instead of the inferior materials intended to break down quickly, like the other suits were made. Bernard then goes about getting rid of Juliette by first banishing her back to mechanical, then sending her out to cleaning. When Mayor Jahns gets in Bernard’s way by asking Juliette to become sheriff instead of Bernard’s choice, Peter Billings, he arranges to have the mayor killed.
They clean because they believe the outside has become livable and feel pity for those inside.īernard, the head of IT hopes to be able to take charge of the entire silo.
It is not until later in the novel that it is learned that when the cleaners go outside, they are getting a fake scene of what is outside. These scenes are the only connection that those inside have with the outside world. As part of their punishment, those sent out for cleaning were expected to clean the lenses of the cameras, then send images of the outside world to the upper levels of the silo. Those sent out knew they would die because of the toxins in the outside air. A cleaning was a punishment for those who committed grave crimes against the silo. Her research had led her to believe that outside was not as bad as the silo leaders had told those inside it was. Juliette’s story begins with the description of a cleaning. With the help of Solo, whom she believes is the silo’s only resident, Juliette puts into action a plan to save the man she loves and rescue her people from an evil leader. Her mechanical mindset allows her to survive her own intended death, and she discovers another silo identical to her own. In Wool Omnibus Edition (Silo Saga 1) by Hugh Howey, new sheriff Juliette Nelson stumbles into a tangle of deceit, manipulation, and murder when she agrees to accept the top law enforcement spot in her apocalyptic underground world.
