Vault 114

Vault 114 is an unfinished Vault-Tec vault located in the Commonwealth, accessed by going through Park Street station. By the year 2287, Vault 114 is controlled by the Triggermen and is used as their base of operations.

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

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

The Vault 114 personnel were interviewing individuals for the overseer position. The vault personnel's goal was to find someone with no supervisory or government experience and 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 Harry". 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 free mason 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 goddamn 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 residents' reactions in stressful situations.

Notable loot

 * Overseer door password - Carried by Dino. It gives access to a door terminal next to the overseer's room.
 * Speech bobblehead – In the overseer's room where Nick Valentine is locked up.
 * Holotapes "V. 114 interview #03", "V. 114 interview #21", and"V. 114 interview #87" in the Overseer's room.
 * Astoundingly Awesome Tales #8 – Found on a white Vault-Tec box next to some burning candles, a Nuka Cola and a liquor bottle. One is passing this as following Nick Valentine to the exit, soon after he opens the door near the Atrium that can't be opened. On the local map, it's near the center of the whole complex.
 * Eleven Vault 114 jumpsuits are scattered throughout the vault.
