Those fortunate enough to be spared the horrors of nuclear holocaust, plague, drought and radioactive mutation did so in the vast underground vaults...
But even in the heart of biomechanical utopia, trouble brews...

Right, you two are cute.

what
what kind of vault is this again

Okay, what number Vault is this?

I don't remember which one was "Vault filled with Giant Sentient Bugs and Xenophiles".

I miss the Deathclaw vault...

>>346116
How many people in this vault? People referring to humans, Mantises and any other intelligent creatures, obviously.

Wow I didn't know there was an Insect Friend perk.
Anyway head baconways immediately for delicious bacons.

>>346116
Bacon? Where the fuck would you get-
FFFF IS THAT STRANGE MEAT?

Ugh, at least tell me it was sustainably harvested from fiends and raiders.

Anyway, I'd say you should spend the day with a sniper rifle and an Enclave patrol route. After you find your pipboy, which shouldn't EVER be off your arm.

Thanks. My name's │││ and this is Honey.

>>346126
>>346139
My home is called Vault111. I'm the overseer here... According to Mark, My home was supposed to integrate bugs into human society... But all the humans died and now I'm all that's left. The other dwellers here raised me.
Whats a deathclaw?

>>346141
Well there's me, Honey, My son Kobb, unkle MarkIII, and about twenty something other bugs that live here.

>>346117
>>346142
Yeah, breakfast sound great right now.

>>346143
ehh... Why are you yelling? whats a raider? Pipboy! ok I'll put you on...

wait, son? how.. what?

lets stop jumping to assumptions here. this world is probably at most loosely based on fallout. what happened to the humans? why did they die off?

>>346147
>son
So you have a half-bug child?

>>346150
think she is part bug, notice the eyes?

>>346147
Wait, how the hell did that happen? Or you know what, lets skip that. Probably better to not know the details.

But you know, it's starting to sound like you have such a small population that you will all die out pretty soon unless you open up the vault. So that's probably something you should start looking into.

  Bloody VAULT TEC!

Whatever. Anyway, Deathclaws are huge orange things that live outside the Vault. They're EXCESSIVELY DANGEROUS.

Anyway, after obtaining bacon and putting on your pipboy, you should raid the armory (with Mk 3's permission) and obtain a large amount of WEAPONS AND ARMOR. Then, you should go OUTSIDE. There's cool stuff out there!

Just follow these simple instructions and I'm sure there won't be anything dangerous out there.

Oh, Sweet. We Are a Pipboy. Wait, What Model Are We. -Memory Error Detected- Oh Bloody Hell. That Is Not Good.

>>346154
Half bug? Nah... That's not possible... I adopted Kobb. He's a roach.

Hello my Queen

Hi mister bee.

>>346149
About sixteen years ago a civil war broke out between the bugs and the humes. The bugs just wanted to live peacefully, but the humans didn't understand them. so they locked them up. When They raised me they tough me how to understand them. I cant really hear their words, but I can see and feel what they are saying...

Howdy Miss III

Hey there...

>>346155
>>346159
Mark says that opening the vault is a bad idea... He say's it's dangerous out there...

i see. but they will all die eventually. just indreed themselves to death. it will be a slow and horrible death, the children will eventually be born with mutations. ranging from sterility to having two faces and 1 limb and being in constant pain.the vaults are designed for containing 1000 people this can be turned into a easily defended bug town but they cannot stay isolated forever. new life is needed.

also, one of the things that are all but immune to radiation are roaches. son will find TONS of friends.

so, what's on the schedule?

ok so, you are a human who was modified by other humans to be able to communicate with bug-people. (which explains your beautiful eyes)
You have an adopted son. This explains it, for a moment we thought there was some weird biology defying cross species reproduction going on.

So basically, you are an augmented human in charge of a vault full of bug-people. Well lets see how things are:
1. Status of life support.
2. Availability of technology knowledge (computers with all tech)
3. Status of manufacturing capabilities.

I am thinking, rather then opening the vault we should expand downwards, in the deepest part of the vault, cut open the floor and dig into the earth, extract raw materials and expand into a hive. Earth can be compacted, a lot, to make reinforced walls as you spread ever deeper, growing ever wider.

>>346190
and where will they get the water to feed a super massive hive?

>>346181
You're going to eventually want to open the vault to investigate the state of the world and increase the vault's genetic diversity, Pipepipepipe. When that happens you're going want the search parties to wear clothing and carry weapons, and since they'll probably be incapable of human speech patterns you'll want to go with them to act as a translator.
Oh, and robots. You'll want lots and lots of robots.

>>346191
1. They already have great water recycling system in place as well as extra water in storage. (although we shouldn't drain our reservoirs)
2. Extra water will thus only be needed if the population itself wishes to grow beyond a certain point not for the digging and construction process.
3. Eventually they will have to get more (since the idea is to increase population not just size of colony) which would be done via:
A. Tap into underground rivers, tap into one in the process of digging.
B. Short excursions to the outside to get water.
C. Water is just dihydrogen monoxide. You get water by burning hydrogen. Hydrogen and oxygen are found naturally in various minerals within the earth. Which can be extracted (albeit slowly and with lots of effort, we have the time and manbugpower).

A is by far the most easy and plausible. It will be a plentiful source of water and oxygen, with nitrogen & carbon being recoverable from rocks. (Air composition is 78.084% Nitrogen, 20.946% Oxygen, less than 1% a bunch of other gasses... only important one is carbon dioxide which is 0.039%)

>>346196
But if its just uplifted bugs, where would they get genetic diversity from? Unless they know enough about the uplift process to replicate it, using unmodified bugs for genetic diversity would be potentially worse than the generic bottleneck (which can sometimes be survived).

I am pretty sure they are naturally mutated rather then uplifted via intentional genetic engineering.

>Genetic diversity
That will come naturally via mutations.
A very small population CAN end up all dead due to being stuck with defective recesssive genes but it is not a guarentee. Experiments with organisms as complex as mice who are inbred to the point of complete genetic uniformity to live as viable specimens.

Open the vault does not magically cause an influx of genetic diversity into the population. You have to find genetically compatible individuals and bring them here. If it ever does become a problem, then at that point either we solve it via genetic engineering or we send people out of the vault then.

Do you want this to be a digging game, or a sneaking game! The latter will mean that you sneak on the surface for plentiful if short lived resources. Remember the sun is the key. Without sunlight you'll never eat right! The sunlight makes the leaves and the leaves feed the bugs, and the bugs feed you! Do not disparage the underground, however! Sunlight can make and it can also destroy, so hide your leaves berries preserves and smoked meat underground to keep the sunlight from taking them back! Take from the surface and store in the ground, and you'll have plenty to eat and time left over to make love!

>>346239
>Sunlight
only use the sun serves is a power source, and they obvious have power and artificial lights (which completely negate the need for a sun).
Keep in mind we are a leader of these people, we can't go around personally sneaking around places.
If we build an underground empire it is BOUND to emerge to the surface world eventually and in a much better position to do, well, anything really.

>>346181
It is, but you will all die if you stay in here. Inbreeding, breakdowns in machinery and stuff like that means your vault is likely to be dead in a few decades. Besides, these vaults are not meant to be closed forever, they're supposed to be opened.

>>346191

WATER CHIPS

JESUS IT'S LIKE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED FALLOUT BEFORE

On the subject of things breaking down, how many of the people in your vault have fine manipulators (things that work like hands/fingers)? Those are rather important to have for things like repairing machinery and operating computers.

>>346280
No, Vaults can operate for centuries without any significant problems. The exceptions are Vaults which were designed to have specific failures for the purpose of experimentation.

>>346341
That doesn't solve the problem that they have a too small population though. Some 20 individuals are not enough.

>>346341
also, how do we know that this vault WASN'T designed to fail?

>>346342
It takes more than 'a few decades' for inbreeding to become a problem.

>>346343
Because VAULT-Tec didn't double-up on experiments.

>>346346
whelp, guess we can all go home. there are no problems to solve and everyone seems happy. quest over.

>>346346
It could have been to test how LONG it took humanity to get into a brutal war of genocide...

ANYWAY! Tell Mk III if he's so worried he can come with ya. Now let's go see if we got one of the kickass power armor armories, or one of the shitty "Nonlethal" ones.

>>346348
They all start that way. It doesn't last.
What kind of weaponry is available in the vault? And how many of the inhabitance can use them effectively? If you have to open the vault you'll need to send out scout parties, and they're pointless if they don't make it back. Seriously, a couple of bugs cannot take on a Deathclaw without some significant firepower. If you want to know what a Deathclaw is just imagine something 10 foot tall, with teeth as big as your thumbs, and claws as big as your arms. It can run twice as fast as you, jump twice as high as you and if it catches you it'll rip you in half with one blow. You can shoot one of these things clean through the head with an armour-piercing round and it'll still have time to pull out your entrails before it realises its dead. So yeah your armoury better be fucking stocked to the roof with missile launchers and mini-guns.

>>346409
Deathclaws aren't that bad. Just sit on a rock and shoot it with a .308 until it dies.

mmm... Looks good, Thanks MrHandy

Don't mention it monsieur. And for the happy couple?

Hey Mark, well have what ever...

>>346294
nobody except mark really knows much about machines and stuff. But the vault was made with bugs in mind, almost every thing in here can be operated by both bug and man.

>The robot swings back around holding two plates of food...

>She wanders off to the kitchen... Where the Robot waits holding a pale blue chip.

Ok... Can it be replaced?

unfortunate... No...

Oh... Well can you fix it?

No madame... We'll need a new one...

Okay well maybe... What does it do?

It makes water madame... We have some reserves, But they wont last forever...

...

>The girl seems composed, but inside she's filled with confusion and fear...

... Well ain't that a kick in the head... Okay guys you were right... What do we do?

>>346466
All vaults have spare water chips. Except for, I believe, Vault 13.

Also, Mark III is wrong; the chip does not make water, it simply controls the water reprocessing equipment.

Lets see... Vault 111 would put you in the area around DC, so it's vitally important you tell us what year this is.

yep. start with having a map of the area loaded into us. don't want to get lost. even if it is different a bit. then head down to the armory. let's see what we have to work with.

search the vault for it. why is he asking you, anyway? don't you have any engie bugs around here?

Settings>Gameplay>Difficulty...
Very Easy
Easy
Normal
Hard
<Very Hard>

...

WELL FUCK.

How many individuals ARE there in this vault, current?
How many of each distinct species? (a species is a group that can breed to produce non sterile offsprings)

We are not right. We are only prudent! Enjoy our quality advice and company on your great adventure! You had better get a move on though. And I would move on the lot of you. Travel in groups! Use the buddy system! If you have enough ingenuity you'll find yourself a new water chip in no time! Whatever the hell a water chip is!

And j-just concerned about your basic nutrition. A healthy diet makes a healthy adventure! Obviously you weren't spending your time eating leaves and reprocessed human flesh

>>346466
Ahahahaha, see, told you. Anyway, ask for replacement chips, although it's possible that this was the last one. After all these things are not designed to last for ever. If there are no replacements then you're either going to have to go out and look for one in another vault or open up this one a migrate to a new source of water. Both are kind of dangerous.

Oh, and two minor observations. You know what tastes like pork but isn't? Humans. Also, when was the last time you saw a bird? Because I don't think that food is what you think it is.

>>346493

let's change that to EUROPEAN EXTREME.

What year is it?

2279 Madam.

Where are we, geographically?

Vault111 is located in Arizona not far from the Mojave dessert.

Mojave? Is that near Dc?

No madame, Vaultech built 111 here due to geographical technicalities...

>>346472


Could I have a map of the outside world?

Certainly madame.

>~Map~

But I don't see what good it will give you. The world's changed quite a bit since that map was made.

... *Sigh* Go fetch me some armor and weapons... I'm leaving...

Very well madame... Good luck.

>Mark dashes off in search of equipment... │││ sits and looks pensive.

>>346489
Bug engineers... Nah we don't have any... Now that I think about it, I'm surprised Mark kept this place running for this long.

>>346519
One human, one robot, three roaches, four mantises,six ants, five bees and four scorpions. We have active breeders for each race, except human and robot of course.

>>346552
I hope we can find one... Human tastes like pork? It's a creepy idea but I guess if it is human I ate then that's that. And the idea that I'm not eating bird eggs doesn't bother me. I've eaten bug eggs before, not as bad as you'd think.

the smaller versions of ants and bees are pretty much masters of structural engineering. once the doors open set them to fortifying the entrance. hopefully instinct about building comes back to them. the mantises and scorps are guards. mantises have an entire form of martial arts named after them due to the lighting strike speed of their claws. and scorpians have those stingers and poison. course you need to exit first and have them stay hidden in case humans were waiting for your vault to open.

go see your friends and tell them you're leaving. consider who you'll be appointing overseer so people don't vie for the position.

>>346604
Does the vault have any kinds of external sensors?
It would kind of suck if we had you stroll out into a 200 degree radioactive duststorm dressed for a warm, sunny day. And possibly awkward if a society of humanity's remnants has built up right outside your door and you step out dressed for war.

What are you talking about? There are no radioactive dust storms. Unless the vault sustained a near miss, in which case you'll need to cross a field of fatally radioactive glass...

Um... we may want to check the vault door cameras before leaving.

>>346604
Have you ever looked in the room where they said they sealed off the humans? Because things might not be what you think they are.

Anyway, you're going to need to prepare if you're going outside. Weapons and armour is good. But you're also going to need other supplies, like stuff for making camp, clean food and water, medical supplies, stuff to trade for whatever they use for money and stuff to carry it all in. And shit is going to be hard on the outside, you will need to make food for yourself scavenge and forage for lots of the stuff you take for granted and be wary of other people, lots of people out there would rape you, kill you and then eat you as well as steal everything you own.

Before you leave, do tell your bug friends that they need to start digging in search of water. Even if it is contaminated, it's far easier to find or construct water filters than water chips.

>>346604
>No madame, Vaultech built 111 here due to geographical technicalities...

But... they were numbered AFTER their locations were finalized. The numbers for failed vaults were retired, not reused.

Nevermind; not important.

What is important is that you make sure they reseal the vault after you leave and not reopen it for anybody except you.
I don't suppose you have any powered armor or anything; I doubt you have anything better than a security outfit with a helmet and maybe a laser pistol or handgun.

>│││ flicks on the terminal and logs into the security system...

Hmm... doesn't seem to be anything, But these cams only have a fifty foot view... Do we need anything else before we leave?

>>346731
Yes.
Tell them to start making Vault 111 jumpsuits for themselves. Clothing is the difference between a wild animal and domestic or sentient beings. I'm not expecting this to matter until you return, but the fact that it could is cause enough for the investment.
Also, tell Mark to not make repeated attempts at repairs if he keeps botching them, and see if he can talk anybody else through repairing his servos.

the cams at least confirm the outside was not a near miss so you can walk around and not be irradiated to death instantly.

and yes, while their bodies are tougher due to their exoskeletons so the primary purpose of clothes is useless a secondary purpose still works, a sign of intellect.

Jumpsuits might not fit a giant bug, but some sort of insignia. Maybe Vault 111 capes? If Honey is to accompany you, good thinking! Travel in pairs at all times! Stay close together in case of the unexpected. Never negotiate from further than 50m away.

>>346731
Well unless there were some hundreds of humans it's unlikely that they could have keept getting meat off of the bodies for 16 years.

Anyway, you need something smaller than the grenade launcher as well. Doesn't matter if it's just a kitchen knife, but it's good to have something if anything gets inside of grenade range. And some junk that you could sell as well as some water purification pills.

repair Mark. trust me, a broken robot won't make a good overseer.

and leave Honey behind to take care of Kobb.

start by asking him what's wrong and what parts are needed.

Yeah that's smart we'll find something to paint him with.

>As you step out of the cave, The sun's bright light blurs your vision and stings your eyes... But it subsides and reveals the out side world!

Well here we are... Outside... I guess since we don't have any idea were we are we should just pick a direction and look for... Hey wait... Look people! I wonder if they know where we are? Think they'll want to be friends? Ha good thing I brought my lucky bottle cap! Look they're coming this way.

By their hats, they look like raiders.
Raiders are insane humans who tirelessly try to murder anyone who isn't a raider.

have honey hide so if they are hostile he can jump out and cut them apart. and keep your launcher in hand but relaxed. if they are foolish as well as bad they will broadcast the fact that they are hostile and you can kill them from range.

they might be tribals. its hard to tell from this distance. tribals are groups of humans who have regressed to a primitive society, they vary from tribe to tribe but most don't go around killing everyone they meet. though they do look a bit more like raiders than tribals. either way get your grenade launcher ready.

try to sneak around to them. approach them from the side or optimally, from the back. have your launcher ready. don't get too close. and keep your eyes peeled for others.

Have Honey get down on the ground to avoid notice, and keep an eye out for any signs of other people.

Keep your grenade launcher drawn, but don't point it at them. If they come at you with weapons raised then blow them into chunks.

They look like a hostile bunch. Hit them with the grande launcher while they're still bunched up and far away enough that you're safe from the blast.

>>347000
Say hello. With a grenade.

if you do this, by the way, you are absolutely obliged to shout "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

Now now... I don't want to shoot anyone just because of their hats... But Honey hiding is a good idea... Well see how they react and see where we go from there.

>The men climb the hill we are perched on with a little struggle...

Hello! My name is │││. And may I be the first to greet you all from my home...

>>348029
Silly raider, bones aren't for eating when you have that few teeth.

Tis quite good he has a melee weapon rather than a ranged one.

>Vats engaged. Please select target

the legs. if it misses it would hit the ground and still blast him.

>>348034
Torso, bigger target lesschance to miss, and more organs.

if you have the ap two at his legs. a near miss might cripple him and two shots will probably hit him at least once.

>>348034
Groin. Duh.

Groin shots is best shots.

>>348137

aye. go for the legs. maybe he'll even get a splinter into his crotch.

wait, you aren't too close, are you?
