Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Part 3, Chapter 36 Summary: “Silo 1”

Charlotte listens through the radio to the destruction of Silo 18 and then flips through the channels. She realizes that the static she hears is the sound of other dead silos. Charlotte hears Juliette’s voice and feels a kinship to her across the distance.

After disguising herself somewhat poorly as a male engineer to infiltrate Silo 1 more thoroughly, Charlotte hunts through Donald’s workspace and finds a directory of the men working in Silo 1 and a map of the facility. To find where they are holding Donald, she decides to wait to act until there are fewer people around, working on the drone to bide her time.

Part 3, Chapter 37 Summary: “Silo 1”

Using a stolen ID, Charlotte takes an elevator to Level 34. She manages to get past the Comms guard in her disguise but runs into Thurman, who doesn’t recognize her but causes her to panic. In Comms, she passes off her presence successfully and steals a microphone, promising the worker in Comms she will return to fix a broken part tomorrow. A man named Eren joins her on the elevator as she leaves.
