Vault 111 weird experiment [SPOILER]

[Simpson3k]

So i am a bit confused about the whole planning of the experiment in Vault 111. If i remember correct the cryo time was planned a few month or something, and the scients, the vault-tec crew was expected to only stay there for half of the whole time while the remaining time is it watched remotely from the vault-tec main lab or something.

Then the bombs fell and they all entered as if its just the planned experiment. Did vault-tec expect them to leave the vault after less than a year..and leave the cryoed people inside?

I mean..no civilian would enter a vault if there is no nuklear attack, nobody would enter it in peacetimes..so how could they plan such a short time experiment if the outside world would be inhabitatable for years..to then leave the scients a few month later already?

I dont understand this. Did vault-tec simply lie to their own employees as the employees lied to the civilians?

[InstableMonster]

Vault-tech had experiments going in every vault and needed a nuclear fallout for civilian to enter, I wouldn't be surprise if at some point we learned they had something to do with the great war

[Jirki88]

AFAIK, the terminals indicated that they would wait for instructions, so I assume that VaultTecs contingency plans for the HQ or whatever really didn't stand for a nuclear attack. Or they were caught pants down. But yeah, the cryo experiment seems a bit... not so thought out.

If you inspect the computer terminals in the vault. It will explain the events..

and to your question... yes..

See the head administrators terminal

GECK (Garden Of Eden Creation Kit) and the FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus) are two huge examples of that.

Vault-Tech didn't plan the bombs fall.
Vault-Tech used the geopolitical context of the war and possibility of bombs falling to "lure" people in a lot of Vaults.

Main purpose of all Vault-Tech vaults are to practice human experiments without anyone knowing.

In case of 111, the experiement was scheduled to be some months until Vault-Tech send on order to stop from the HQ.
Put in the game context, Vault-Tech was a corporate so powerfulll that if you disobey, you'r ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in life, so no one tried to disobey and they just waited for the order to come, and it never came.

So 111 had a second order, that's after some month without order, they should leave the Vault by themselves, but during this time, a riot exploded in 111 and every crew members died (the survivors died from lack of food), they wasn't able to leave the vault, cause the overseer sealed the main entrance gate, and locked himself in his office.. So no hope to escape for the survivors.

Pro tips : Overseers are always corrupts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with sociopathe tendency in fallout world.

Maybe. They only gave them enough supplies for a certain amount of time, then said they'd contact them when their observation period was over. The terminals said they were told they'd be given more supplies at a later date, but Vault tec never contacted them. If that's because they lied to their employees, which they do in almost every vault, or because the people who were supposed to contact the vault died in the nuclear blast, no one can reall know for sure. I'm betting vault-tec just left them to die.

If you read all the terminals, it said after X month without Vault-Tech contact, they should leave by themselves. But they never got the chance.
Their food stock was precisly made for this period of time.

The main take away is that Vault-Tech (and with the cooperation/funding/support of the Military/Government occassionally) on various experiments on unsuspecting human participants. Which they got through manipulating the fear of atomic war, but in the end it seems for all it's preparations; Vault-Tech overplayed their hand. In the end many of the Vaults were supposed to recieve a "All Clear" signal from Vault-Tech HQ, implying that while the main focus was experimentation, Vault-Tech did expect to survive the nuclear apocalypse (whether to become a new government and/or superpower is not clear); but obviously they failed to prepare their core systems (HQ, Head Staff, ect.) to survive.

In some cases, even the staff of the Vaults had no knowledge and/or only compartmentalized knowledge (Vault Overseers being the only ones who consistently had the "whole picture.")

Security guards wanted to leave, the Overseer was told by vault-tec that they were supposed to stay there and wait for further instructions. Then the security guards mutinied.

Indeed and this mutinie was induced by lack of food resulted by a period of time extended more than the max time set by Vault-Tech.
Overseer was the only one knowing bombs fell and didn't wanted to risk is life in radiation (he was right in a way).

They started the war, but we do not know too much. It is not quite cannon but accpeted as part of an unrealsed story that the first nuke was set off by them. So there is a whole bunch of of WTF about them we do not quite understand. Who controlled them? Was it purely to drum up buisness and set off the chain of events by mistake? Or did they have it all planned out? They sure showed up at a good time to sign you up for the Vault. The knew a bomb would fall, and then froze you. I feel we could learn more from a DLC.

[Fedorya]

Could be cool to have a DLC that take place in pre-apo time, incarning a vault-tech employee, and discovering their secret right before the bombs fells.

[Bearded Geek]

Not sure if this is pointed out upthread, but the war came too soon. Vault Tec / The Enclave built all the test vaults to evaluate how to best survive the war themselves. The problem was that even though they were 99,9% sure the war was coming, the nukes started dropping much earlier than they thought, before they could actually finish their own personal vaults...

Ha..i am typing at this all the while but did delay my posting at every new reply i got XD

Ah yes, its a while back since i readed those terminal stuff, i am sorry forgot a few things and that made those questions come up in my mind. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Hm this is all very mysterious. If it would be instressting to play a high vault-tech employee, perhaps even one who surfived in a vault..and was part of that conspiracy? A whole pre-war game in the alternate world of fallout-earth :)

Pretty sure Mister I'AM VAULT-TECH has to do with a futur DLC ;)
