Forum:Lucas Simms vault escapee

When you first go to Megaton at the beginning of the game, Lucas Simms says that he hasn't seen a vault suit in a long time and he chuckles. Also, I remember the Vault 101 overseer mentioning people of his generation that left the vault, never to return. (Lucas Sims and the overseer seem to be the same age). This all implies that Lucas Simms once lived in Vault 101.

♠ It implies nothing of the sort. The mere fact that the Vault 101 Overseer says that people of his generation left the Vault and made contact with the people of Megaton suggests that that's where Lucas Simms has seen the vault suit before. Secondly, the only named person to have left the Vault was Anne Palmer. In fact Moira Brown says that the armored 101 vaultsuit came from a WOMAN from Vault 101. It would make more sense that Lucas Simms saw the vault 101 suit on the scout team that went to Megaton. Magnum101 01:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I recall that he only says he saw a vault suit, NOT specifically a Vault 101 suit. According to the wiki (I'm not through much of the game myself yet) vault 101 was designed to see how people dealt with never being able to leave (no one ever enters, no one ever leaves), so presumable people from other vaults were able to leave with a bit more ease.  Personally, I assumed the reference Simms made was to a vault suit worn by a person from another vault.  24.222.54.66 12:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

♠ Actually, hacking into the Vault 101 Overseer's computer already revealed that a scout team from Vault 101 ventured forth from the Vault and made contact with the people of Megaton, and spent considerable time there. The simplest explanation is often the correct one. Step by step: 1) people from Vault 101 visit Megaton, 2) Lucas Simms is from Megaton, and 3) Lucas Simms sees the vaultsuits on the people from Vault 101. The armored vault 101 suit in Moira's shop is evidence of this. Magnum101 12:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Magnum101. Silent.Killa78 >:) 09:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah he's right, it's said that the Vault used to be open and residents could go back and forth from the wasteland for a certain period of time, until the current Overseer (may have been the one before him) took charge kept the truth hidden from the PC's generation.--Esscex 07:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
