Comments on Doomsday Vault Design Now Final
My only question, which no one seems to be asking, is 'Why don't the humans get a vault?' (Read
the complete story)
| "On the news about the seed vault, would you count the game Fallout as a sci-fi source? Since we're citing movies and post-apocalyptic sources, I'd think that Fallout, with its heavy post-apocalyptic theme as well as a story centered on Vaults meant to keep people and, plants, alive after a nuclear war would be very fitting for this piece."

| "I hadn't heard of that game, but it does sound like an excellent match to the story. Here's a brief excerpt from the Wikipedia article: 'The game takes place in 2161 in Southern California and begins in Vault 13, the protagonist's home. Vault 13's Water Chip, a computer chip responsible for the water recycling and pumping machinery, has broken. The Vault Overseer tasks the protagonist with finding a replacement.' From Fallout Computer Game." (Bill Christensen 2/14/2007 2:00:01 AM) |
