I guess time is at a premium because the apocalypse is coming, but still, you know, maybe a midday break.

Just chowing down, fattening themselves up as they fatten up profits of Vault-Tec.

with the rest of the world's ruin, and we get to hear about marketing's plan for the apocalypse.

Marketing prefers multiple five-megaton blasts on the image of LA, a cacophony of puff clouds.

We also learned, so this was interesting, we learned that the water chips have a 30% fail rate and that they'll know before installation which ones are faulty, so they get to choose who runs out of water.

What do you make of that?

Does this mean that Vault 33's chip failure in the future is preordained?

Or is that actually a product of the fighting that we saw?

Yeah, right.

So that would suggest that either she thinks it's fixable despite the flaw or that, yeah, she was thawed out 40 years ago and the apocalypse has happened.

And maybe this meeting didn't stick in her mind, but she was at least privy to that information in theory.

And maybe she'll put that to use in trying to repair the water.

And, you know, maybe that has some bearing on whether this is all an experiment and what does that mean.

But we will return to the vaults a little later on this pod.

We also get an appearance from Senior Junior VP Bud Askins.

who proposes specialized freeway lanes for premium customers.

Smart idea.

Always thinking ahead.

Bud and Bud's Buds.

This is how he ascended to senior junior VP, just identifying new profit centers at all times.
