20th Malachite: Incident ReportWorkers in the primary caverns have discovered a large pit. Preliminary examination of the pit has revealed it to be at least several thousand meters deep; it defies our attempts to measure it. In order to limit interest, I have suggested that Sheb, our “leader,” issue an advisory to avoid the pit, but have not forbidden it.
Praise Gosmer! The pit will save us hundreds of man hours of excavating. I am encoding a transmission to Vault-Tec HQ stating that we will breach the secondary layer soon, but that we do not yet have the resources to proceed to phase two of the experiment.
Further good news! My superiors at Vault-Tec were correct about this site; there is something very special going on down below. Scouts have encountered massive, twisted and muscled creatures in caverns; they have named them “Bull Demons.” This bodes well for the existence of the resource I have been sent to analyze. The demons are far to strong for our security force to handle at this point, but in order to preserve the experiment I have not sealed them off.
On that note, I am beginning work on some more comprehensive defensive structures. We must be open to the world, but we need not be in senseless danger.
28th Malachite: SupplementalOne of the Bull Demons breached out living areas, causing great chaos. Security was dispatched; and the battle was over in a second. My undertrained and underequipped forces made a bull demon their bitch. I'm not sure if I should be afraid of my tactical team, or in doubt of the effectiveness of the resource as a weapon.
17th Galena: Traders ArriveThe 17th brought welcome news. Traders have arrived. It has been an eventful month. I established a hospital near the workshops, and I was stunned to find that nearly half of the vault dwellers now inhabit it. It seems that near constant rat attacks have given most of the fort minor injuries. Our broker is one of the wounded, so I have taken it upon myself to trade. I have no idea how much a jet bobblehead is worth, so this is going to be fun.
28th LimestoneI have not been myself today...ach...my Moses subroutine is coming through...I..need..CHALK! I NEED WOOD!!!
(days later)
Wow, I am embarrassed about this...at least the incident seems to have unlocked some of Moses's fine engraving skills.
22nd Sandstone: Personnel ReassignmentIt has come to my attention that nobody has been treated in the hospital, as the chief scientist is among the wounded. I have appointed one of our woodsmen in his stead. He claims to have some experience in surgery.
It would comfort me to no end if he were to drop his axe however.
23rd Timber: Additional TradeThe days move on, and more and more I find myself tending to the running of this Vault as opposed to the experiment that led me here.
Our new doctor has done shockingly well. Many of the wounded are up and about, and he did not seem to exacerbate anyone's injuries. I will keep him in the position.
Merchants have arrived. I skillfully traded several carbon steel mugs for many, many years worth of food, cloth, and leather. We will not want for clothes or sustenance. I asked the traders to bring sand, glass, and timber.
I am feeling pressure to dig more deeply. Vault security is mostly outfitted in power armor, and super sledges have replaced their bare hands. I have dug a trench around the vault , and I am trapping the only entrance. We will be safe when the raiders come, as I know they soon will.
Why am I doing this? I justify that my actions are necessary to create a stable enough platform from which to engage in my mission, but I am no longer sure.
28th Moonstone: After Action ReportI ordered the miners to dig deeper into the caverns, and as they did they struck layer after layer of treasures. This digging awoke several bull demons, which chased our miners until security arrived. Outfitted in their new gear they made short work of the beasts.
I am clearing out a larger section of the caverns. I think I will mass flood the area so we can more easily grow crops and trees.
As a side note, bull demons provide an almost perverse amount of meat.
