Vault 11, like many other Vault-Tec experiments, was designed with a dark and twisted purpose: to test the morality and psychological resilience of its inhabitants. Upon entering the Vault, residents were informed of a horrifying rule: each year, they were required to sacrifice one individual to the Vault’s computer system, or else everyone would perish. This was allegedly to prevent the Vault’s systems from shutting down.
For years, the residents complied, choosing their sacrifices through elections. Friendships turned into grudges, families tore apart, and fear corrupted every interaction. But as the population dwindled, the survivors began to question the necessity of the sacrifices.
In a final act of rebellion, the last few residents refused to send another person to die. They braced themselves for annihilation, only to discover the truth: it was all a psychological test. The Vault’s systems never intended to kill anyone. Instead, they rewarded their defiance with freedom.
But by then, it was too late. The survivors were broken by guilt and paranoia, and they either took their own lives or left the Vault as hollow shells of who they once were. All that remains now are audio logs and terminals, documenting their descent into madness and the grim lesson that Vault-Tec sought to teach: fear and control can destroy even the strongest communities.
Vault 11’s tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the cruel experiments that defined the Vault-Tec Corporation, leaving behind a legacy of pain for those who survived their machinations.
