IT and the Servers
IT runs the silo's servers, screens, and cleaning suits from its own guarded floors near level thirty-four, a department whose quiet power rivals any elected office in the silo.
IT is the silo's most guarded department, occupying its own floors around level thirty-four with the servers at their heart: tall, humming machines tended in climate-controlled rooms behind doors most citizens never pass. The department keeps the silo's computers and communications running, maintains the wallscreens that show the outside, and builds the sealed suits worn in cleanings. Its technicians hold themselves apart, its floors have their own security, and its head answers to no one below the mayor, if he answers to anyone at all. Power in the silo is supposed to flow from elected office; a share of it, everyone quietly understands, hums in the server rooms instead.
