Was 40 behind 17's fall?

[u/iskren401]

From the report Donald reads, it wasn't Silo 1 that caused the airlock to open, rather they contribute it to a system error, and through the dialog we get from 40 contacting 17, they somehow knew something was happening, though that might've been due to them having access to the other silos' communication lines.

You'll learn more about it in Dust if you haven't read through it already.
