Press Start to Continue: Vault 87

In the west most super mutants were born in the Mariposa Military Base but as the Brotherhood of Steel moved east to the capital waste they quickly learned that the super mutant problem was not isolated to the west. Deep within the Vault 87 one learns how the super mutant threat came to the capital wasteland.

History

To understand what happens in Vault 87 one needs to know the history of Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV).  The FEV was not always know by that name it was once called Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP) and was designed to combat the New Plague by making the recipients DNA more resilient and immune to the effects of the New Plague.  PVP was tested on animal subjects to surprising results. Most of the animal subjects had doubled in size and showed increased brain activity.  This result caught the attention of the Military and they took control of the research and renamed it FEV. The FEV was then sent to such location as Mariposa Military Base and Vault 87 for testing.

Vault 87 was for all extensive purposes a standard Vault with only the goal of testing the FEV, however none of the subject where doing so voluntary. The people where slowly being exposed to the modified FEV and observed as they changed. The subjects however would often be terminated when the violent tendency would show up. It unknown when it happened or how it happened but eventually the test subjects overpowered the rest of the vault and turned all survivor into super mutants. The mutants would then set out into the wasteland looking for more people to change and another source of FEV as there was running out. The Vault would not see a willing human visitor again till the Lone Wander would find his way in there looking for a G.E.C.K. In the Vault 87 the Lone Wander learned two things where the super mutants where coming from and that not all super mutants are violent rage monsters. With G.E.C.K. in hand the Lone Wander left Vault 87 without becoming super mutant.

As we move across the wasteland we learn what happens when you try and turn musicians into super solders
