Dust
This storyline cannot be directly adapted since the show’s version of Bernard knows about Lukas' history with Juliette and has punished him terribly for it. There is no world where Bernard or Lukas can pretend to work together. However, there is a possibility of the resourceful Lukas figuring out a way to communicate with Juliette while she is in Silo 17, which could adapt some elements of his storyline from the books.Siloseason 2 has otherwise completely deviated from Lukas' story in the source material.
