The video discusses the dark experiments conducted in Vaults 31, 32, and 33 in Amazon's Fallout TV show, orchestrated by Vault-Tec with Bud Askins as the mastermind. Bud intended to manage societal progress by training selected managers termed "Bud's Buds" for centuries, using his brain preserved in a Roomba. Central themes include the manipulation of vault populations and engineered crises to retain control, evidenced by the strategic election of overseers and orchestrated events such as famines and plagues. Key individuals like Hank Maclean and Rose MacLean are pivotal, with Hank's eventual betrayal and the massacre at Shady Sands highlighting the brutality involved. The narrative progresses to 2294 when Vault 32 realizes they are part of Vault 31’s scheme, leading to chaos and rebellion. Lee Moldaver’s infiltration plan further complicates the power dynamics, culminating in a massacre during a trade event. The story concludes with dwindling populations grappling over justice and moral decisions, exemplified by Lucy’s defiance and Norm’s investigation into past revolts. The video emphasizes themes of manipulation, control, rebellion, and the harsh realities of survival in a controlled experiment.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on the role and sinister experiment of Vaults 31, 32, and 33 in Amazon’s Fallout TV show. These vaults, connected yet isolated, ostensibly operate as democracies with elected overseers, preparing inhabitants for Reclamation Day. However, it is revealed that Vault-Tec’s true intention was to exterminate the population and create a new society from the ashes. Bud Askins, the mastermind, believed in effective management for societal progress and initiated the “Future Assistant Training Program” to train select employees (“Bud’s Buds”) to manage the vaults across centuries. Bud’s brain was preserved in a Roomba, allowing him to integrate managers into Vaults 32 and 33 periodically. The experiment spanned nearly 220 years, facing and resolving occasional technical issues, ensuring the continuity of Vault-Tec’s mission.

In this part of the video, manipulation strategies were used to control populations in Vaults 32 and 33. Crisis situations were engineered to secure votes for candidates from Vault 31. In 2271, Hank Maclean, a former Vault 31 resident, became the overseer of Vault 33 amidst a likely orchestrated famine. By 2277, his wife Rose discovered civilization’s return to the surface due to water imbalances. Hank dismissed her findings and covered up her escape from the Vault by creating a plague story, then pursued her to Shady Sands, the NCR capital, where he took their children and nuked the city, killing Rose.
Following this, he returned to Vault 33, blaming her death on the plague. In 2294, Vault 32 residents learned they were part of Vault 31’s experiment, leading to chaos and casualties. Their overseer Ian Jackson was tortured and killed, and the rebellion against Vault 31 failed. Bud Askins covered up the incident by limiting communications between Vaults 33 and 32. Two years later, Lee Moldaver, a friend of Rose and leader of the NCR remnants, infiltrated Vault 32 to avenge Rose and acquire Vault Tec credentials.

In this part of the video, Moldaver and her group plan to infiltrate Vault 32 using Rose MacLean’s Pip-Boy during the Triennial Trade between Vault 32 and Vault 33, coinciding with the overseer’s daughter Lucy’s marriage. They massacre Vault 32’s residents to kidnap Hank. After the massacre, Vault 33’s dwindling population faces tough decisions, leading Lucy to defy orders to rescue her father. At a council meeting, they consider rehabilitating or executing the prisoners, leading to Betty Pearson from Vault 31 being elected the new overseer. Norm, troubled by a prisoner’s revelation, investigates Vault 32 with his cousin Chet, discovering evidence of a prior brutal revolt.
