File Data -

VAULT #921 was the first of 13 VAULT related projects that Whitmorr Labs was involved in, although official records show no data of their involvement with the vault after building was complete and the vault was staffed.

Records show that VAULT #921 received an emergency transmission from REDACTED three weeks prior to the beginning of the Great War;

CALLING VAULT-TEC REPRESENTATIVES:: INITIATE CODE 79714:: NUCLEAR STRIKE IMMINENT:: Please gather VAULT #921 and #937 residents and supplies and put local projects on full lockdown::

Emergency Transmission was received once at 7:13am, and then again at 9:13am. The sender of the transmission could not be reached, nor found, upon further attempts to contact. The transmission could not be traced as it was scrambled upon broadcast.

Overseer Franklin Reed arrived at VAULT #921 at 7:19am to find most of the vault's residents had already arrived. Records show that said individuals were contacted by representatives of Vault-Tec, although no official order has been filed from Vault-Tec HQ.

At 9:31am, VAULT #921 was sealed and operations were initiated. 31 total residents (15 Male/14 Female/1 Cat/1 Ferret) were documented to enter the vault, but eyewitness records claim that 7 Vault-Tec Reps entered the vault as well. We currently have no records of ordering this, nor do any of the eyewitness accounts give names. Proof of their existence simply does not exist.

4 Months after the door was sealed, another transmission is received by VAULT #921's radio staff;

CALLING RESIDENTS OF VAULT #921:: INITIATE CODE 911012:: SUSPICION OF CONSPIRATOR:: We have reason to believe an insider has tampered with the water supply, please use caution::

Reports show that an investigation was carried out within the vault with no conclusive results. Tensions became high in the Vault and its dwellers grew suspicious of their colleagues. Two weeks after the transmission came through, three dwellers became very sick and were sent to the infirmary to be examined. Recorded tests show that the vault medical professionals diagnosed the infected dwellers with a mild case of the flu, but due to already high tensions from the transmission, many in the vault refused the diagnosis.

Days later, dweller Ronald Bermin used a kitchen knife to murder Overseer Reed. Overseer Reed had been reported to have been stabbed over 47 times in the mid-abdominal region. Bermin was detained by vault law enforcement and placed in Cryo-stasis until a trial could be organized. Overseer Franklin Reed was succeeded by his daughter, Kathy Reed, whom settled the dwellers of the vault and calmed tensions.

Many years after, another recorded transmission came through the radio staff;

CALLING RESIDENTS OF VAULT #921:: INITIATE CODE 911012:: SUSPICION OF CONSPIRATOR:: We have reason to believe an insider has tampered with the food supply, please use caution::

Weary from previous incidents, Overseer Reed personally oversaw contamination testing of food supplies, of which resulted in destruction of a good amount of the supplies in the process. No contamination was officially recorded.

Due to raising tensions, Overseer Reed tried to calm the dwellers multiple times over 4 months. Multiple logs had been recorded during that time in the vault database showing that the distrust for Overseer Reed's father had made it hard for the dwellers to trust Kathy Reed. 4 Months after the transmission, Overseer Kathy Reed was forced to leave the vault upon agreement from a council of her peers. Her whereabouts and fate after then are unknown. She was then succeeded, reluctantly, by her son, Albert Reed.

Exactly 14 years after Kathy Reed's banishment, Overseer Albert Reed intercepted a transmission;

CALLING RESIDENTS OF VAULT #921:: INITIATE CODE 911012:: SUSPICION OF CONSPIRATOR:: We have reason to believe an insider has tampered with the medication supply, please use caution::

A log was found on the Overseer's computer that dates to only 2 hours after the transmission was received;

OVERSEER LOG 1449:: OVERSEER REED III:: I received a transmission today. It is almost the same one that killed my grandfather and had my mother banished. I attempted to track the origin of the message, but it was encoded like no other transmission I have seen, and I've worked the radio room my entire life. I know I will now be blamed for anything bad that happens, so I need to take action before anyone here learns about the message. They won't take it easy on me, I'm the third Reed to be overseer during this crisis. This may be my last log, so I need to name my successor. Dick Normstrom is more than capable to fill my seat. I have no children and he has served as security officer for over 24 years now, they trust him:

3 Hours after the recording of that log, Overseer Reed placed himself in Cryo-Stasis. His computer was searched and upon finding the recent log, Richard Normstrom took over as the Overseer.

The final incident has been recorded through logs found on personal computers, but no official report has been filed. Dates and times of the logs conflict information;

LOG 991:: JENNA PECKLY:: The whole vault is buzzing today. It seems another of those weird transmissions has come in and everyone is pointing fingers. They expected this from the Reed family, but from old man Normstrom? And more surprising now, it sounds like the newest message has finally been tracked, but security won't tell us where or who it is from for some reason. My dad says something really weird is going on. He seems really mad at the Overseer. I'm scared to see how this plays out;

LOG 1097:: ALESSA NORMSTROM:: My worst nightmare has come true it seems. One of those awful messages came through, almost like clockwork. From reading old logs and books, it seems like one always comes in right as the vault gets back to some form of order. I hope dad is going to be okay, he seems really worried now. He said some extra information came through this time that hadn't before, but he is keeping pretty quiet on the topic. He has barely eaten or slept since the message came in. I need to go get him to calm down some;

OVERSEER LOG 2113:: OVERSEER NORMSTROM:: The day has come as I figured it would. A message came in, but it seems they are getting sloppy and let extra information come with it. It can't be real though, I don't believe it. It has to be some kind of hoax, how else wouldn't we have caught this after all this time? I've had 5 different staff members go over the information with me, and all 5 confirmed that the transmission came from within the vault here. But it's attributed to coming from Whitmorr Office on the 12th floor, which is impossible as our vault only has 11 floors. We have spent the whole day looking for possible secret doors to this fantasy floor, but no results yet. The dwellers are already starting to point fingers, we need to get this quarantined and under control as soon as possible;

Soon after Overseer Normstrom's final log, he and the 5 dwellers who worked in the radio station fell sick and were admitted to the medical wing. Two days later, 2 of them died, follow soon by the rest over the span of a week. Medical staff suspected some form of poison, but no proof has been found still. Overseer Richard Normstrom's daughter was quickly appointed to his position and still holds the seat currently.

No transmissions similar to the other have been received since the one received by Richard Normstrom, but reports show that Overseer Alessa Normstrom has recently been showing signs of paranoia as a result of the transmissions. She is notably less qualified to calm the masses and openly claims to believe she is being watched by an unknown source. In her time as Overseer already, she has spent a great deal of resources investigating the possibility of the fabled 12th floor, but so far no proof has been found. Dwellers have begun to label her as a "conspiracy nutjob" and have questioned her ability to lead due to her current state of mind.

Further reports on the matter will be filed upon submission and will be updated as we learn new information.
