@finfan I think the opposite. I think the suits themselves are rigged to kill the people going out to keep up the illusion of the "outside poison" killing them to those watching from the inside.
@xiofire Yes, I agree. I was thinking that myself. But in both cases we saw they went down within eyesight of the Silo. Which makes sense because if the suits are rigged you want people inside see them go down. But that raises the question why there aren't any more bodies laying around. Granted, we don't know how many went out to clean and they could remove the bodies. But something's just not adding up.
@finfan All of the ones who went outside wore the suit, and the camera seems to show the real physical objects just through a filter, so I think they're actually dead, poisoned by the suit itself to make sure they don't form a tribe outside that can break back into the Silo, or do stuff in front of the camera, etc.
@daddy7860 For sure the suits are rigged. that much we know. But why do we only see those two bodies then ? Where are the others that went to clean. No one could've gone much farther then Holston or his wife did. And in the decades there must have been many that went outside.
I'm not saying you're wrong but at the same time I would not be surprised if someone was still alive.
Thanks for the reply.

Pretty sure none of those who went outside are dead. That's part of the control mechanism to keep people inside. The people in power are obviously afraid to loose it. They destroyed all evidence of what happened in the past so they can create their own myth. Yeah, I know I'm stating the obvious. Maybe they are even living on the surface themselves and don't want to share ? Maybe the Silo is important for things on the surface to work, part of a machinery ?
But it leaves the question open why no one ever came back.
