Jules dives down into the flooded mechanical of Silo 17 in an attempt to start the pumps again. She plans to surface the diggers buried in the walls to get to her silo. This plan goes horrible wrong as radio connections from Solo to Jules fails and her air pump mysteriously stops during the deepest part of her venture. In the pitch black water, she manages to use air bubbles caught under the spiraling stairs and slowly make her way upwards. Meanwhile, in silo 18, war has broken out between IT and Mechanical and Supply. Immediately, blood spills and bodies drop. But the unexpected happens and Mechanical seems to be losing. With dozens of deaths after a unwavering thunder of gunshots, Mechanical and Supply retreat back to the depths of the silo. IT chases them as the injured limp slowly through the puddles of dripping blood. Solo was found above the water level unconcious and caked in dry blood. Later they find a group of children who have been surviving on their own. With his new-found friends, Solo doesn't feel alone anymore. Jules has given up on the digger and is planning to make a suit built strong enough to survive the outside conditions. She removes the small screen in the visor made to create the images Holston and Jules experienced and wraps a suit in heat tape. She leaves silo 17, Solo, and the children behind and walks back to silo 18 to find that the war is over and the new deputy and Lukas have overturned Bernard.
Overall, Wool was a thoroughly good book, with satisfyingly gruesome moments, great character development and personalities, an interesting plot, and a cleverly woven theme. It's reasons for a ban stand out boldly and will most likely grab attention to concerned readers eventually. Even so, Wool has managed to become one of my favorite books and will continue to stay in that list for a while.
