You will get ratification there . " After failing to find Bernard , Lukas takes it upon himself to find the truth about Quinn ’s message .

The Algorithm claim it did not speak to Wilkins , suggesting it only expose info to authoritative figures from the silo . Before bring out crucial information to Lukas , it also warns him that if he speak to anyone about what he teach , the AI will have to induct " The Safeguard . " Given how the AI cite to the Safeguard as a scourge and even Quinn ’s letter take the founder created it , it seems likely thatit is a communications protocol to terminate a silo . If a silo learns the truth about how the " game is rigged , " the Algorithm is seemingly responsible for for eliminate it .
… If a silo potentially threatens to expose the truth about the founding father ’s mission , a so - call " guard " or safety measure will pass over the silo out .
The letter also talk about how the people from all silo think they are the chosen ones , believe they were the 1 selected to subsist the Revelation .

Owing to this , if a silo potentially threatens to expose the accuracy about the founder ’s charge , a so - promise " safeguard " or condom amount will wipe the silo out .

TowardsSiloseason 1 ’s ending , Juliette also mentioned the tunnels to Bernard , which surprised him .
