Tobias looked at Charlie, worry clear in those intense blue eyes. "It must've been whatever sick experiment they were doing here..." He said, giving another glance to the dirty window.
He nodded at Charlie's suggestion, heading down the hall with him. They passed a few other bodies, some huddled together, some alone. They all seemed to be pregnant. "Was this vault just women?" He mumbled, looking curious.
Spike barked from down the hall, standing at the doorway to the overseer office. It slid open easily, showing a scene frozen in time. The overseer's body sat slumped in their chair, a large hole in their skull. A gun sat on the floor, clearly dropped after shooting themself. Their vault suit had the same stretched out belly as the others...
Nearby lay a labcoat clad body. This one hadn't been pregnant...but from their position and the old stain on the wall, it was clear the overseer had shot them first... "something went terribly wrong here....check the terminal..." Said Tobias, carefully moving the overseer in their chair.
On the terminal was the usual Vault Tech greeting and information on the overseer's role in the vault. As well as some personal journal entries. Things had started out pretty normal when the signal came to lock down, but a few months in, things changed. First they spoke of a rise in pregnancies within the population, then about how they progressed rapidly. Then a gap in the entries, followed by one which sounded quite desperate.
[It was all a lie! Vault Tech was doing this on purpose! Fertility drug testing, genetic manipulation, forcing us to breed! And when they ran out of women, they changed us. Men having babies! We can't stop! God, I can already feel contractions starting...I can't do this again. I've called the lead doctor in and I've set up the population purge protocol...this ends today.]
