Drew Collingsworth

 was a senior student of the Vault-Tec University and the author of Project Lembas. The final test run focused on Drew 's proposal for replacing regular food supplies with the food paste of his own design. Dean Elliot pushed him towards that as an more interesting experiment - and intending to test the general willpower of individuals and how they react to deaths caused by food supply. The horrible pastes were mass produced with the addition of an arterial plaquing agent that would cause rapid circulatory system decline, all in secret from the poor Overseer. To the dean, it was simply an experiment to observe the rapid decline of order in a Vault, predicted to end the experiment in week 3 of 4.

Problem is, the test run started on October 15, 2077. The Vault was sealed for the next four weeks and the paste released to their use. Unbeknownst to the Overseer, a black market developed almost overnight to compensate for the horribly tasting paste. On October 23, the Great War happened, but the simulation Vault survived intact and the experiment continued as normal... Until October 26, when one of the maintenance staff died of a heart attack brought on by plaquing agent. After an autopsy confirmed the Overseer's fears, he tried switching back to regular rations, but the black market and extra strain put on them resulted in the stockpile depleting on October 31. When the dwellers realized the danger, they openly rebelled against Drew, who made desperate calls to the outside.

Naturally, by this point Morgantown had bigger problems to deal with and his pleas went without an answer. His dwellers took it rather poorly and lay siege to his office on November 2, eventually breaking through the outer seal and cornering the Overseer in his office. Unable to offer them a solution, the Overseer locked himself in his bedroom. As the desperate dwellers tried to break through reinforced interior doors using whatever office supplies they could scrounge up, Collingsworth committed suicide by ingesting rat poison. Everyone in the Vault perished, starving to death or killing themselves. paranoia.
