Vault 5

Vault 5
Vault 5 housed 500 Dwellers with the strict purpose of experimenting and creating the perfect worker.

Dwellers were selected according to their willingness to follow orders regardless of circumstances, remain docile in high-stress environments, and their unquestioning loyalty. After entering the vault, the dwellers were then conditioned and experimented on.

Those who showed a sense of curiosity, defiance, and an argumentative personality were quickly killed off while the more passive and agreeable personality were showered with positive encouragement and began the half of the physical experiment. Through a series of genetic augmentations, each generation became stronger, more energetic, better resistance to illness, radiation, and a smaller need for food, water, and sleep. Allowing them to work longer and harder than the average person.

The experiment was labeled a success after all residents of the vaults were obedient, low maintenance, and completely naive.

The Red Suns' Takeover
Shortly after opening the vault as instructed by the Overseer's orders, The Red Suns discovered the dwellers happily cultivating the land surrounding the enterance of the vault.

Noticing the lack of security, Dottie introduced herself as the assigned Vault-Tec replacement Overseer, and that her gang were a group of specialists from of Project Regrowth. Stating that due to the radiation, Vault-Tec needed a group of specialists who had firsthand experience with the Wastes, and how to properly recultivate and grown the correct flora in the correct condition. Explaining that she and her group were so dedicated to the cause, that even when the radiation began eating away at their skin, that they refused to give up.

Moved to tears, the dwellers accepted Dottie and the rest of the group as their new leaders and began to farm and build as the group instructed. Happily working under their new Overseer.

Raider Attack
Years after the takeover, a group of raiders attempted to attack and kill the dwellers. Dottie and her gang quickly sprang into action, saving the dwellers. Knowing that the dwellers were helpless without her group, she selected a handful of dwellers and trained them as guards. Telling them should anything enter the settlement with permission from Dottie or one of the supervisors, that they were to be shot on sight.
