A dark Apple Terminal / Windows Terminal profile for anyone who has looked at a glowing green screen and decided not to say they want to go outside.

It borrows from the visual world of Silo: Sheriff's Office records, Judicial forms, IT relic searches, Mechanical status readouts, and those 144 levels of quiet suspicion.

Black-green background. Pale phosphor text. Brighter cyan and blue command output. Yellow-green status colors. Moody, but still readable. The Pact would allow it.
