I have wondered like where these guards live.
I have the same thoughts.
Yeah.
It's like, is there a barracks in the vault or do they just fraternize with the general population or do they keep to themselves?
Because every now and then, you know, it's like everyone's kind of collegial and friendly and they're just wandering around.
But then there are these like giant guards with like riot armor and stuff.
Where were they when the Raiders came in season one?
When they needed them the most.
Did they draft them since then so as not to be susceptible to another attack?
I don't know, because they seemed like they might know what they're doing or at least they're committed to the bit.
But yeah, I've wondered about that.
But these are the enforcers for Betty, but they don't do a great job of enforcing anything.
She comes in, she tries to lay down the law.
She declares that the snack budget is rescinded.
The support group is resolved.
It's a constitutional crisis inside the vault.
And she lays out her case and it makes some sense.
We're running out of water and you're feeding people salty snacks.
And at first it sounds as if Reg is going to back down and concede defeat.
But no, he pivots to populism and he appeals to the base desires of the support group members.
