Vault 219
Secretly built into the Black Mesa just outside the small town of Kenton, Oklahoma, Vault 219 was the pet project of a Robco CEO that gained enough favor from Mr. House his very own installation to weather the coming nuclear storm. The original concept was pitched to create an advanced virtual training ground for future soldiers as well as a hazard-free environment for civilians to learn dangerous jobs, and was outfitted with the latest technology in Tranquility Loungers to pursue this objective. It was also stocked with a large amount of holotapes and programs meant for entertainment, as the CEO also claimed that it was paramount in making the technology appealing to the new generations.
While the tests did proceed as usual for several decades, once the Vault Tec staff realized that they would be getting old and likely dying long before the doors would ever open, several changes were slowly implemented and replaced the original protocols laid out by their investors. More focus was put on building and exploring virtual worlds with no other intention than giving the community an escape from their reality. This started off successful enough, but soon there were those that wished to leave behind their mortal coil once and for all and join their consciousness with the simulation where they could live as many lives as they wanted for the rest of eternity.
While the overall transition took several generations, nearly all of the original residents willings subjected themselves to procedures very similar to how a Robobrain is created to place their brains in stasis jars so that they could be connected to their Tranquility Loungers indefinitely without any need to ever take a break from their hobbies or passions. This caused the Vault to fail by Vault Tec definition, as for over a century there have been no births within the walls of Vault 219 and those that kept their human forms have long died off. Still active and capable of controlling the security forces they are connected to, they have had no need to contact the outside world and therefore have kept the doors sealed for the past two hundred years.
