Vault-Tec
From the Vault-Tec Archive Terminal
In compliance with protocol VT-027-2077, historical data for all vault residents from all Vault-Tec vaults is to be collected from vault resident application processes and subsequent logging via vault medical, security and other vault reporting methods via the Vault-Tec terminal uplink system. The following historical data is a summary involving an individual known as Dom Quantum and the most pertinent and reoccurring references associated with a series of holotapes found across the wasteland known as the Capital Wasteland Travel Guide.
Originally known as Dominic Quentin prior to the great war, Dom worked as a Red Rocket Master Technician in Maryland, just outside of Washington DC with his wife Nature and German Shepherd dog Courage. Wanting to change and advance his career, Dom received an opportunity in the form of a contract to function as one of many Vault-Tec Vault Technicians needed in the great effort of building vaults around the DMV.
The following years being spent on the new job building the vaults felt like an exciting change. However, it wasn't without its challenges as Dom was placed into a leadership role on a rookie crew that often made mistakes. Though no serious issues ever occurred thanks to Dom's keen eye for detail, the other technician crews often poked fun about *breaking the vault* for the clumsy or inexperienced mistakes Dom's crew made. The constant necessity of having to babysit others while attempting to accomplish his own responsibilities was greatly frustrating, but he knew the true quality of his own work and that no job was without its turbulence. Regarding his crew, everyone starts somewhere as he often told them "tomorrow is another chance at a better day".
During this time, with the construction of the vaults progressing greatly, Nuka~Cola and Vault-tec decided to collaborate on a contest that held the heftiest of prizes. The contest was open to the general public and did not prohibit the participation of Vault-tec or Nuka~Cola employees. This peaked Dom's curiosity and he decided there would be no harm to test his luck.
To participate in the contest, one would have to buy a bottle of Nuka~Cola, pop the cap and check to see if the underside displayed a golden Vault-tec logo. To make the contest more enticing, it was announced that there would only be a single winner. There being no set rule prohibiting the quantity of bottles purchased per buyer, sales of Nuka~Cola naturally skyrocketed as Nuka~Cola anticipated.
The winner of this contest would receive their very own personal vault! However, though it would contain everything found within a typical vault, this wasn't a full scaled vault designed for the survival of thousands. This prized vault was more of a mini vault which was designed to be occupied by a single family.
As one would expect to find with any Vault-tec vault, the mini vault was designed to contain, a Vault door/airlock room, security room, reactor and maintenance room, storage, overseer office, an atrium, cafeteria, gym, a rec room, classroom, lavatories, a workshop/garage, a simulated outdoor/backyard room, but with enough dormitories for only a 5 member family. It was essentially designed to have all the commodities of a single family home but underground and in the fashion of a Vault-tec vault. To make the prize even sweeter, the mini vault would come with a Robco Mr.Handy unit and a life time supply of Nuka~Cola.
Some days later, while on a lunch break enjoying a new issue of his favorite Unstoppables comic and a Nuka~Cola, Dom soon discovered that he held in his hand the lucky bottle cap many sought. Attempting to keep this surprise quiet, out of fear that chaos would erupt over a bottle cap, he quickly but discreetly contacted the contest representatives at Vault-tec to confirm his winnings. Unfortunately, the noise of building a vault in the background made the call a bit troublesome, luckily the majority of the necessary information was correctly relayed, expect for his last name.
