Ceremony 40 was successfully executed on 16 February 2020 • An administrative ceremony took place February 11th, the day before the originally scheduled KSK Ceremony date, to replace an aging safe dial. The last time this safe dial would’ve ever operated, it failed to do so • KSK Ceremony was postponed for the first time ever • Approximately 20 hours across two days to drill into the lock assembly and remove the bolt to allow the safe to open • Followed by safe remediation and installation of new lock • Complicated by triggering anti-defeat mechanisms in the lock due to novel materials in safe construction
