Democracy Inaction

Democracy Inaction is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Walkthrough
Upon entering Vault 11, the first thing to note is four skeletons at the entrance door and a terminal nearby. Accessing the terminal will download a recorded holotape and a note to your Pip-Boy, inform you to determine what happened to inhabitants of the vault. After picking up the holotape, head into Vault 11. There are many terminal entries throughout the vault's levels that contain hints as to what happened to the residents of Vault 11; however, you don't have to find any of them except for the overseer's password. To obtain the password, travel to the Vault's atrium.

The atrium is located past the overseer's room and downstairs. On the podium there is a holotape labeled "Prepared Speech of Gus Olson, ombudsman, for the Annual Overseer Election"; pick it up. Alternatively, you can download the holotape upstairs on a terminal. Once the speech is read, you will find out that the password for the overseer's terminal is the first name of the first overseer's wife, Betty. Now, go back to the overseer's room and unlock the sacrificial chamber.

Follow the hallway and watch the video. Be prepared for a challenging battle; there will be a sentry bot, Mister Gutsy, protectron, robobrain, and several turrets waiting to attack once the video is finished. Kill all of the robots and open the only other door in the room. Finally, download the two holotapes on the mainframe and you will be rewarded 500 experience points.

Behind the scenes

 * The pre-execution film and audio in the sacrifice room could be a reference to the assisted suicide sequence in the 1973 science-fiction film Soylent Green.
 * The music that was played during the walk into the sitting room to watch the film is the same music that appears during the ending film in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
