Vault 108

Vault 108 is one of the Vault-Tec Vaults. As part of the Vault Experiment, it houses a cloning lab. In Fallout 3 the vault is full of hostile clones named Gary. In the Citadel Vault-Tec computer the premise of the experiment was explained to study conflict for leadership and power in a vault. The Vault Overseer was known to have terminal cancer and had a life expectancy of only a few years, and positions of authority in the Vault went undesignated and discretion given to the Overseer. The main power supply was also scheduled to burn out early, and the back-up power supply was intentionally insufficient to meet the Vault's needs. On top of all this, three times the normal armory stock was placed in the Vault. How the Gary clones factored into this is unknown.

All of the Gary clones only speak their own name, using different tones to express anger, curiosity, or pain. This is humorously akin to the way Pokemon monsters speak and reminiscent of a scene from Being John Malkovich. With the exception of Gary 1, who carries a firearm, all the clones use melee weapons - until their AI makes them pick up something better.

There is a Holodisk found in the Cloning Lab (located near a body near one of the examination tables) that slightly explains the fate of Vault 108. Every time Gary was cloned, it immediately became hostile to non-clones, with each one becomming more violent. After the 53rd was no different, they began to wonder what to do with all of the clones, as the Vault's observation rooms were becoming full. The other entry in the holodisk says that Gary 54 was the same way, having injured a Doctor Peterson during an examination. The entry also states that they will be destroying some of the clones, to make room for "many more tests". It is the opinion of this writer that these Gary Clones overpowered those tasked with destroying them, slaughtered the rest of the Vault's citizens. Given the possible division of the vault citizens into factions after the death of the overseer, it is also possible the vault citizens were unable to provided a united response to counter an armed mob of insane clones.
