Fallout Vault 69 - A social experiment SG
Author's note: The point of this story is to explore the social and moral implications of the fallout universe's vault 69. While explicit sexual descriptions will not be posted on bay12, I might upload them as textdumps on discord, if the mood takes me. Link:

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_69You awoke one morning to the sound of emergency alert sirens, the kind they use for air raids, unchanged in over a hundred years. Your thoughts come into sharp focus as you roll onto your feet. Vault-tec. You have a pass. The best shelters in the world, built to sustain life in catastrophic nuclear war. You throw on some shorts and a t-shirt left on the floor of your bedroom. Grabbing your wallet, you double check to make sure your ID is safely stowed. Your force on some socks and hastily don a comfortable pair of street shoes and run out of your appartment, out onto the sidewalk, and towards your designated Vault-tec evacuation area.
You head down into a metro tunnel. Your vault was built adjacent to the existing subway system. A feat of engineering neccessary for underground urban constructions. A sealed-off section that was "under construction" for the last few years now has its doors open. You see vault-tec security personnel, with faces hidden within thick riot gear, forming a perimeter at the entrance. A small crowd has formed at the edges of the station hallway, some distance from the vault-tec cordon. They seem anxious and disquiet, but are not yet desperate enough to attempt violence against armored security personnel.
A guard with a handheld scanner reads the id cards of anyone who approaches. You see several random people, men, women, families, try their luck. Some are allowed to pass, most are denied entry, with threats of force. But you are registered. You hold up your id, your heart racing nonetheless, and the machine gives a satisfying beep. You are ushered along through a short network of corridors until you come to the vast 2-meter high, 3-foot thick solid steel blast doors of vault 69.
A uniformed woman asks for your ID again and tells you your designated room number, where you are to wait until further notified. More armored and visored guards line the corridors and usher the evacuees towards the living quarters and the individual rooms. You can't help but notice that all the civilians you have seen are all female. But everyone is in a trancelike state, following instructions from uniformed authority figures to get to their rooms. There is no room in anyone's mind beyond the current emergency.
Your room is a small but comfortable space, a single bed, a writing desk and clean tiled floors. You sit down on your bed and recollect your life, thinking about how everything you know is about to end.
Your reverie is broken by sharp and distinct thumps that shake you through to the bone even while deep underground. The ceiling vibrates and you hear a long load constant roar that seems to last for an agonizing eternity...
Decision time, who are we? What is our sexual orientation and history?A) Jack, a 27 year old emotional wreck of a young heterosexual male. He was bullied through school and college, spends his time escaping reality by playing video games, occassionally manages to get contract work doing office jobs, but never really stays in any place long enough to build a career. He has also never been affectionately touched or been kissed by any female he hasn't paid money to first. Will vault 69 provide a fresh start for him to find his social and emotional identity, or will he descend into the abuse of power that his newfound situation affords?B) James, a 27 year old homosexual man and gay rights advocate. He is very gay, so much so that he is usually repulsed by female sexuality. He would populate the world with hot gay men if it physically possible. How will he keep his sanity in such a situation? Will he be forced to make compromises for the greater good? Will his life descend into a living hell?C) Jill, a 27 year old trans-woman. All through her life, she faced ostracism because of her body and gender-feelings. And now she is the only member of the human race stuck in a vault with a sperm-producing organ. She rightly fears that this will cause many of the other women to deliberately misgender her. She has had few friends in life, and an unsupportive conservative family that stifled all expressions of sexuality. She has also never held a stable job.
