  • *Vault-Net has control*
  • It was considered at some point to install an AI that would help the underground people to have a comfy life.
  • The programming was something like "Protect the underground people so that they live the best life they could."
  • Adhering its program to the word, Vault-Net decided that the overground world is a worse place to live than undergrounds. To ease the psychological implications on the people underground, Vault-Net is faking any and all communication with the outside world. Blocking incoming transmissions, defending the entrances from "intruders" (who actually tried to reach and maybe rescue survivors) and generating fake imagery of the outside world.
  • Everybody undergrounds is totally convinced they have no other choice, but actually the life is not too bad there either.

*Vault-Net has control*

It was considered at some point to install an AI that would help the underground people to have a comfy life.

The programming was something like "Protect the underground people so that they live the best life they could."

Adhering its program to the word, Vault-Net decided that the overground world is a worse place to live than undergrounds. To ease the psychological implications on the people underground, Vault-Net is faking any and all communication with the outside world. Blocking incoming transmissions, defending the entrances from "intruders" (who actually tried to reach and maybe rescue survivors) and generating fake imagery of the outside world. 

Everybody undergrounds is totally convinced they have no other choice, but actually the life is not too bad there either.
