You see, the explanation Moldaver hates Vault-Tec a lot is as a result of she initially designed the chilly fusion reactor in 2077, earlier than the struggle that ended the world. Again then, the tech was acquired by Vault-Tec and shortly hidden, because it threatened the struggle the corporate so desperately wanted to occur to make sure most income for his or her vault merchandise. Over 200 years later, Moldaver needs her tech again so she will lastly share its reward of limitless power with the remainder of the world.
However Moldaver has a fair greater motivation for attacking Vault 33 and kidnapping Hank than stolen tech: revenge. We be taught that Shady Sands, the capital of the New California Republic (a staple faction from the early video games), was utterly destroyed earlier than the beginning of the present. Within the finale, Moldaver reveals to Lucy that it was Hank and his Vault-Tec goons who nuked town to cease the NCR from advancing additional on the floor, not solely killing 1000’s of individuals but in addition leaving his personal spouse and Lucy’s mom a senseless ghoul skeleton.
Why did Hank blow up Shady Sands? As a result of the NCR was gaining an excessive amount of energy, threatening Vault-Tec’s plan for world domination as soon as it was time to reclaim the floor. Vault-Tec didn’t rely on anybody outdoors the vaults surviving the nuclear struggle, so when Wastelanders within the area organized into a significant faction that might at some point rival Vault-Tec, the corporate needed to put a cease to it.
However how did Vault-Tec initially plan to make sure these loyal to the corporate could be those to re-settle the earth centuries after the nuclear struggle within the first place? Vault 31 has the solutions.
