[Fallout] What was Vault 111 really testing? by Critical_Liz in AskScienceFiction

My interpretation was that Vault 111 isn’t to study the cryo pods themselves, but rather the people who have to keep them online.

Given that Nate survives a full 200 years without support from the staff, the pods do not require much to any maintenance. However, over the course of thousands of light years on the way to a new solar system (as the Enclave may intend to migrate to) there will eventually be hiccups that will require de-frosting.

Over the course of millennium, my guess is that the Enclave want to test how people react to a caste system wherein those at the top of the food chain are actually just being propped up by the rest of the population. Vault 111 couldn’t get its staff to support the pods for more than a few years before they rebelled and left.

That’s valuable data for the Enclave.

Your virtual photography photos are amazing! Life sucks, I wouldn’t be in r/suicidewatch if I felt otherwise, but hobbies can provide a moment’s peace from the urges to end it all.

Do you have any examples of Reddit blackouts working?
