Vault 114

Vault 114 is an unfinished Vault-Tec Vault located in the Commonwealth. It can be accessed by going through Park Street station. It is unclear whether the occupants made it to the vault or not. Construction tools litter the vault and many of the vault suits near the front door are uncollected.

Background
Vault 114 was primarily built and intended for housing high ranking members of local and state government, local luminaries, business people and their families as part of a social experiment. Future members of the vault were also made aware that they will be cohabitating solely with others of Boston's upper class.

Even though the initial residents were of upper social class status, the "luxury" aspect of the vault was highly exaggerated to the future residents instead. Multiple families, chosen randomly, lived and slept in single-room apartments. Dining and bathing were shared in quarters and the provision of amenities were minimal.

The Vault 114 personnel were interviewing individuals for the Overseer position - presumably, while the vault was already operating with the new residences. The vault personnel's goal was to find someone with no supervisory or government experience, but one with a strong anti-authority bias. Human Resources told them that the interview process vetted many viable candidates for the position.

An Overseer was chosen when the interview process dredged up a man known only as "Soup Can Herring". He refused to provide his legal name (which he referred to as a "rank and number" branded by the government) and believed that the government used taxes to fund "Illuminati-Freemason sex parties". Soup Can was presumably homeless, as he implied that he slept in dumpsters. He also appears to have eaten Abraxo cleaner before, as he is heard to say "I seen the back of them Abraxo boxes. 'Not for consumption'? Don't you tell me what to do, I'll eat what I want!"

As Soup Can so perfectly exemplified what Vault-Tec desired in an Overseer for this Vault, his interviewer offered him the position on the spot. Soup Can accepted, but cautioned that he "ain't wearing no goddam tie...or pants".

Vault 114 personnel were also told by Vault-Tec Management not to "undermine the new Overseer's authority at all during the experiment, even (and especially) if it may cause physical discomfort, embarrassment, or harm to residents."

By taking away the luxury and authority these groups saw in surface life, while simultaneously subjecting them to the whims of a dangerously incompetent Overseer, they hoped to study the residence's reactions in stressful situations.

Notable loot

 * Speech bobblehead – In the overseer's room where Nick Valentine is locked up. Opening the room requires killing the thug Dino who is standing outside the door taunting Valentine and taking the Overseer door password from his body.
 * Stealth Boy – Atrium (where Dino is located). In a locked (novice) large toolbox in the south-east corner of the ground level. (Not there... it's a leveled random loot box)
 * Astoundingly Awesome Tales – Found on a white Vault-Tec box next to some burning candles, a Nuka Cola and a liquor bottle. You're passing this as you're following Nick Valentine to the exit, soon after he opens the door near the Atrium that you can't open. On the local map, it's near the center of the whole complex.
 * Eight Vault 114 jumpsuit Can be located near the vault door.
 * Voice log "V. 114 Interview #03" in the overseer's room
 * Voice log "V. 114 Interview #21" in the overseer's room
 * Voice log "V. 114 Interview #87" in the overseer's room
