Late to the party, but I just finished this. WOW!
Have a quick question though: how long was Camille actually helping the group, or when did she start?

To be fair, they're all prisoners and the biggest prisoner of all is the head of IT. Even if their actions were absolutely despicable, the head of IT was only carrying out orders. Orders that if they refused to act on could result in the slaughter of 10K hostages.

While I'm sure there was some ego and power tripping involved due to human nature. I don't believe Bernard or Camille really wanted to carry out the Silo 1 agenda. They did what they had to do, to keep their friends and family out of the crosshairs of a malevolent tyrant. It would be a terrible position to be put in, especially since simply telling anyone else could result in the same fate.

They also know the voice could be right. I think that's important to remember. Being the head of IT is an almost impossible burden because you have knowledge that nobody else in your silo has but you also don't really have any of the knowledge that the people in silo one have.
