Vault 56

Vault 56 was a survival shelter designed by Vault-Tec Corporation on contract with the U.S. government to protect a selected fragment of the United States population from nuclear holocaust so that America could be repopulated, but as with many such Vaults like it; it was subject to awful inhumane experiments as part of some strange unknown experiment by Vault-Tec.

As part of the vault experiment, all entertainment tapes were removed except those of one particularly bad comic actor, who was installed into a central AI system that took on the responsibilities of an Overseer. Many of his duties included recording an indefinite amount of tapes using the recording equipment provided to create informative and comical cooking show episodes. This went on for ages, some people withstood the tedium, others went crazy, some left, some died, but this went on until only one dweller remained.
