Vault 92: Science vs. Overseer // Wissenschaft vs. Aufseher

Das Video ist auf deutsch!

For all English speakers that's the translation of my script:

What actually happened in Vault 92, what experiments were conducted here, and what caused the Vault to fail?

Vault 92 was planned as a last refuge for creative minds. More precisely, musical talents from the United States were supposed to find refuge here - at least that's what they were told. An experiment was carried out here with white noises, thereby humans are fed with information, which is brought to the subconsciousness by acoustic signals. The execution of the experiment in Vault 92 is particularly perfidious, since the scientist John Malleus received completely different instructions than, the Overseer Richard Rubin.

Professor John Malleus assumed that the experiment was to investigate whether white noises could improve the abilities of the musicians. Richard Rubin, on the other hand, knew the real plan of Vault-Tec: to create better soldiers. With the white noises, Vault-Tec wanted to achieve that the musicians would be more willing to fight and generally develop a higher will to fight.

As a basis for argumentation, why musicians were chosen, entries can be found that they have a particularly trained ear. Vault-Tec hoped that this would increase the efficiency with which white noise is picked up by the brain.

At the beginning of the experiment, the musicians were only exposed to the white noises while recording in the recording studio and Professor John Malleus even records in his terminal that this indeed seems to improve the musical abilities of the participants. He was even able to note socially positive events, with two of the musicians developing a love affair with each other.

Shortly thereafter, Overseer Richard Rubin decides that the musicians are not exposed enough to the white noise and now orders them to be sonicated in their sleeping quarters as well. Professor Malleus does not find out about this. It doesn't take long for the first changes in the musicians' behavior to become noticeable. We find terminal entries in which some musicians complain of headaches, or that some have a higher aggressiveness level. Finally, one of the musicians kills other people in the Vault and attacks security personnel. Rubin, however, does not yet see this as very threatening, and Professor Malleus is also initially just puzzled by the events, but cannot place them in order, since he is not aware that the residents continue to be sounded in their own rooms.

However, it is not long before other residents become aggressive and kill other residents. Within a very short time, Professor Malleus estimates that 30% of the residents of the Vault, which is 70 people, have gone clinically insane. At this point, 35 people have already died. In his terminal, we can see that at this point the professor considers the experiment a definite failure and a big mistake.

He asks the Overseer to stop the experiment and for all the inhabitants to leave the Vault as soon as possible. But Overseer Rubin sees the current losses as more of a means to an end and sacrifices that must be made for science. To counter the aggression of the participants, Rubin has another hidden message inserted into the white noise: "Reason is not statistical," which is a direct reference to George O. Wells' book 1984. However, this "defensive noise" had no effect on the inmates.

The situation becomes more and more precarious as more and more water enters the Vault from the outside. Inside the Vault, we find information that the technicians think it was a mistake for Vault-Tec to choose this place as a location, because the position is unsuitable due to the groundwater.

Meanwhile, Professor Malleus learns from a dying security guard what Rubin had done and plans to confront him because he "won't let him get away with it." Rubin also orders the security guards to kill Malleus, as he increasingly perceives him as a danger.

In one of the recording studios we can see two skellets belonging to Hilda Egglebrecht and Parker Livingsteen, the lovers. In their terminal we can see that they were there on a date. It is assumed that Zoe Hammerschmidt murdered them, because we can see in her terminal that she was in love with Parker and increasingly lost her mind, so her last entry is just a string of letters.

It is not 100% known what happened to the Overseer, Rubin or the other occupants. When we arrive at the Vault, it says this.
