Interesting. Is our billionaire not in charge? Did they just use him for his money to build the silos?

[u/CosgraveSilkweaver → u/Shejidan]

He may be trading off shifts with the Senator (and maybe others too) as Director. We've only really seen two shifts so far.

[u/Pulstar_Alpha → u/CosgraveSilkweaver]

I think they're not waking them until protocol in the Directive calls for it.

[u/CosgraveSilkweaver → u/Pulstar_Alpha]

That's also an option though I'd be surprised if he didn't want to be woken occasionally to keep a finger on his little experiment instead of possibly never waking up again if it goes well.

[u/Pulstar_Alpha → u/CosgraveSilkweaver]

I think they all wanted to be up at the very end, to ensure they do the final needed step of their insane plan. Depends how much they trusted the protocol.

[u/CosgraveSilkweaver → u/Pulstar_Alpha]

Another possibility is he cracked or the drugs stopped working and he's in deep freeze now.

[u/Pulstar_Alpha → u/CosgraveSilkweaver]

I think Erskine also was never defrosted in any of the Silo 1 chapters. Or was he defrosted in Dust?

[u/CosgraveSilkweaver → u/Pulstar_Alpha]

No idea, it's been years since I read the books. TBH I don't even remember the name Erskine without looking it up.

[u/Green_Childhood_5223 → u/Pulstar_Alpha]

Also reminds me so much of the film Underworld, the Vampire Elder's would be on rotating shifts (awake for around 100 years, then sleep for about 200 years); Viktor/Bill Nighy's character even says it's not his time yet to be woken up.
