When Chu Guang discovered that Vault 100's communications module had overloaded, he almost reflexively concluded that something similar to Vault 79 had happened there again—restless ghosts lingering in a tomb where they should have slept.
However, the final outcome exceeded his expectations.
According to information exchanged by players on the forums, the information module's overload had not been caused by human interference as he had imagined. Instead, the fusion reactor's ignition had restarted the life-monitoring module, awakening the dormant AI and causing the "Dome Self-Destruct Program," which had been halted a century and a half ago, to resume its countdown.
Fortunately, his little players cleverly used the clues left behind by the "Gravekeeper." By expanding the detection range of the life-monitoring sensors, they successfully convinced the AI administrator that the insects in the vault were descendants of its residents, thereby terminating the dome self-destruct program.
What remained was simple.
As long as they repaired the communications module, regained administrator privileges, and thoroughly cleaned out the mountain of bugs left behind by sixty years of conflict between the "Treemen" and the "Worker Ants," the vault could return to normal.
After two centuries, this vault was no longer suitable as a Foundry. At least until the insects inside had been dealt with, it needed to continue existing as a vault.
When the time was right, The Alliance would decide anew how to use it.
Still, Chu Guang had one lingering question about this vault.
Aside from the supervisor named Craig, who had died in the vault as a human, where had the other 110 residents who uploaded their minds into circuit boards gone?
He had found no trace of those 110 residents in the vault's database.
They could not possibly have uploaded their minds into circuit boards and then vanished from the
