   Useful questions that in-universe characters could ask:

   What kills the people sent out to clean?

   Why, despite us clearly having been down here a very long time, does it seem that everyone sent out to clean dies after about the same amount of time? Why is the threat not diminishing over time?

   Why were these very well stocked silos ready and waiting and apparently very well matched to the threat outside? (In the books, Lukas does ask this question and gets an answer, and the answer is correct but incomplete).

     (Or rather, Lukas works out the answer and has his working confirmed correct)

     This is not mentioned in the books, but I’m assuming the secret library of the before times that IT has does not mention climate change. The vault library probably does, but if IT knew about climate change, they could learn something interesting by monitoring external CO2 levels.

     And that would get them all killed.

     @ajlanes because measuring atmospheric carbon dioxide would show it dropping, which would imply two things, and knowing one of them is fatal.

     @goatsarah Because of what’s immediately outside? Or because knowing what’s going on gets your silo shut down?
