The Nukagate ConspiracyEvidence was practically limitless and out in the open for the 98ers to discover the true use of the vault. The inhabitants were supposed to be divided into two roughly equal groups living in upper and lower levels. The vault had bland but incredibly healthy protein mush and a hydration gel to subsist off of, but after a severe "accident" that would divide the populations for a generation occurred, the lower levels were going to "miraculously" discover a hidden trove of near limitless Nuka-Cola products and related modern convenience foods. Vault-Tec wanted to see what sort of relationship would form between the two populations once they were reintroduced to one another.
Fortunately, no Vault-Tec employees made it into the Vault, and so the 98ers were able to uncover this surplus of food on their own. The machines that seemed to produce the protein mush and hydration gel from nothing were also in working order. The families of the Vault divided the tasty stockpiles evenly among themselves to distribute however they saw fit internally, while the machined food was left available to the public at any time.
The first couple years in the Vault went exceedingly well for the 98ers. With no need to worry about subsistence, people felt more free to pursue the arts and sciences. The Families willingly donated portions of their stockpiles to researchers in the Vault who were able to study in great detail the composition of most every Nuka-Cola product on the market and break them down to their basest components. It didn't take long before Nuka-Cola Quantum could be reprocessed into a liquid nuclear fuel, and one that was even compatible with their generators with practically zero modifications!
Problems began to occur when the families heavily involved in the Nuka sciences became entangled in a number of marriages and pairings. They ultimately became a political family with impressive amounts of influence in the Vault Council. The Independent Families, the term adopted by the rest of the families not involved in the Nuka power bloc, often understood and accepted the wisdom of knowledge that research provided, but also managed to keep the Nuka Families from gaining too much control.
The Vault was not perfect though, and there were some issues with petty crimes once in a while. In order to deal with these relatively minor crimes, the Council had decided to put together an official police force.
Propose the group responsible for policing your Vault. Include details like the equipment you hope they get, preferred doctrines and tactics, size, and whatever else you could think of that may define your Vault's police force.
Log of [REDACTED], 10.27.77 - Present
Nukagate Conspiracy: High amounts of food and drink stockpiles have led to a scientific power bloc through intermarried families. Products produced from luxury foods are impressive, including liquid nuclear fuel. Solid checks and balances between Nuka Families and Independent Families. Life is very good for the vault dwellers, but not perfect.
