Could still be misdirection

shrewd berry
#

it's not Anthony, he doesn't like his brother

#

and here he says he's his biggest supporter

tepid sable
#

Well minus the guy in vault 63 the one in 112
And the one who got abducted

shrewd berry
#

they made the mr house orb

mighty scaffold
#

He literally references the H&H nail gun as paying for his research, Anthony is the one who owned H&H

tepid sable
mighty scaffold
#

Yea which is why he asks that guy to punch him in the face

#

He's insane

#

I really don't see any world where Robert house willingly lets some meat head touch him

#

My theory is that the Robert house we first saw is actually Robert house, his character gets killed in the events of NV and his brother Anthony takes control of the 38 afterwards somehow

tepid sable
#

And locked it down months before the war

mighty scaffold
#

Ok and, there's nothing saying that scene in the bar takes place in 2077 it could have been 2076 or earlier

tepid sable
#

Also based on time line anthony was much older than robert he took control of h and h in 2022

mighty scaffold
#

Well that just lends credence to my theory because the guy in the bar looks much older than the young House on the tv

#

Bar House looks at least 50s one on tv looks 26

tepid sable
sonic kettle
#

Anthony House being House in NV would be so terrible

mighty scaffold
sonic kettle
#

You have to remember Robert House was cheated out of H&H tools and went on to found RobCo

#

He hates Anthony, he doesn't hate H&H tools

#

There's no reason why he wouldn't be proud of what his Father built

tepid sable
#

Robert house was born 2020 for anthony to inherit he would have to be much older

tepid sable
mighty scaffold
#

Yes so if H&H isn't Robert houses company why would he be down in a bar talking about H&H nail gun paying for his research it he didn't even own the company to be able to make money from it

mighty scaffold
#

He was trying to he never succeeded before the war happened

shrewd berry
#

Securitrons have H&H on them

tepid sable
#

Robert was only 2/3, when anthony took control of the tools

mighty scaffold
#

The factory was shutdown in the days leading up to the war the robots were probably in there killing people when the bombs dropped

shrewd berry
#

the Amazon extra page calls him Robert House too

sonic kettle
#

This worsened when RobCo Industries began attempting a corporate takeover, attacking H&H Tools on the stock market.This resulted in Anthony suffering a total mental breakdown, and several months before the Great War, he sealed the Vegas factory and activated its security systems, turning the factory into a deathtrap for centuries to come

tepid sable
#

Yeah its interesting to know robert was born in 2020

sonic kettle
#

There's no reason why House wouldn't be stating that H&H tools made his family fortune, helped him kickstart RobCo

mighty scaffold
sonic kettle
#

It being Anthony doesn't go anywhere

tepid sable
sonic kettle
#

It's an M Night Shamalanadingdo twist for nothing

mighty scaffold
sonic kettle
#

No mention of any other money

mighty scaffold
#

The line literally says cheated out of his inheritance

tepid sable
mighty scaffold
#

Well that's probably how they cheated him out of it

shrewd berry
#

the trailer shows this Mr house literally on the screen like ingame

sonic kettle
tepid sable
frank ingot
#

that was in FO1. the maxson line would almost immediately throw the altruism of their founder away. his son was already vindictive toward outsiders

mighty scaffold
sonic kettle
#

But anyway throwing all that aside, if Justin is Anthony and the house we meet is Anthony, then what does all the information in H&H tools factory mean?

shrewd berry
#

what

sonic kettle
#

Is that just brushed aside?

tepid sable
sonic kettle
#

Like there's terminals of lore and stuff in the H&H tools factory in NV

mighty scaffold
#

Anthony also has a lucky 38 executive override key

tepid sable
#

He was also a gibbering wreck and likely an old man

mighty scaffold
#

I imagine on his desk in the factory

shrewd berry
#

do we really expect the show writers to know that?

mighty scaffold
#

I saw it in a video the other day

sonic kettle
#

That was technically meant to be a Followers Quest that wasn't implemented

mighty scaffold
shrewd berry
#

okay good point

tepid sable
mighty scaffold
#

I mean to be fair I think we will know for certain which house this is in the next episode

mighty scaffold
#

Tim Cain however also went on record stating they wanted to have twice as many vaults in nv

#

So it's not like the vault doesn't fit in

tepid sable
#

I still think anthony would look older given he was presumably of age when his dad died

#

Ok thats interesting when h and h started having its stock bought up no one knew much about rob co and its leader

#

This implies robert started doing this very early on

frank ingot
#

i feel ppl are hyperfixating on the body double thing... the real question is what are hank n house up to

#

beyond the mind control chip

errant spoke
#

It's not Anthony. Anthony House is at least ten years older than Robert House.

upbeat pumice
#

Good point but again
Anthony hated Robert

solid moss
#

Here an issue
We don't know pre-war house

tepid sable
solid moss
#

You know becuase they keep complaining and weakening house in terms of money and destory his products, etc

tepid sable

tepid sable
#

In fact the company is described as a maze

frank ingot
#

yes the bottom line is he took over a bunch of companies, including his brothers but i dont think thats anything too crazy

#

prewar businessmen were all just smaller versions of vault tec executives

tepid sable
frank ingot
#

every big company would have been trying to out compete each other in extreme exploitation in the run up to the great war knowing it was all going to end anyway

tepid sable
#

But going back to vault tecs corporate get together is it not odd posiedon energy is missing of all companies

worthy warren
#

What if the house who ended up in the life support pod was actually the body double

tepid sable
#

Possible

lament lichen
#

Could even explain any personality differences between Show House and NV House.

tepid sable
#

Though most sources think the one at vault tecs meeting was the double

untold socket
#

It got confirmed by multiple sources it is Robert in the bar.

untold socket
# mighty scaffold Yes so if H&H isn't Robert houses company why would he be down in a bar talking ...

I don't know why people try to think this deep, when it's literally just Robert House bragging about H&H tools being HIS OWN COMPANY, and that the Unionists are stupid for complaining about a Man - thinking he's the worst why STILL filling his pockets. Using his own company DAILY. In a way calling them sheep, cattle, they don't have the brains to figure it out. They are just part of the masses. It's like complaining about a specific ingredient in food that one man mad, but yet you still use that ingredient, in everything not knowing that the guy you're complaining about made the ingredient.

untold socket
#

It's intended to be a 1 to 1 reference.

#

And anything would be dead already unless he somehow became a ghoul as much as people don't want to acknowledge it.

#

Here's more with Amazon straight up confirming it.

#

As well as it's silly and illogical to assume a big time actor was specifically hired to play Anthony.

worthy warren

worthy warren
#

I mean Rafi is the one on the tv

untold socket
worthy warren
#

It’s blatantly obvious that rafi is the double like we know for sure idk how people are still confused

untold socket
#

It's willful ignorance I feel, one read through of the lore and you can see their dislike for each other wasn't one-sided. And given the timeline, Anthony's insanity is at it's worst WHEN Robert buys out H&H the show is implying he's done that. So Anthony is losing his mind atm.

worthy warren
#

Also Robert owned part of H&H after his father died and still wants the company. He would still be nostalgic and feel ownership of the nail guns

#

Even if he may not own it at the time of the show

#

People also are too conspiratorial about who Hank is talking to

#

That’s clearly house but people try to make everything a twist

untold socket
#

Exactly because H&H was intended for Robert and Anthony to rule together. Hence. H&H, House & House.

#

So when Robert got pushed out of the inheritance, best believe he plotted his takeover. And took his damn time to ensure that plan to take H&H back succeeded.

worthy warren
#

It’s funny, people will see a single town get nuked and assume a whole country is dead. But when we have stuff spelled out for us they don’t believe it

solid moss
worthy warren
solid moss
#

To be fair
Both are good answer
Neither are bad choices
I believe it house but i dont disagree that there is a chance it can be the enclave

worthy warren
#

What he says doesn’t make any sense

#

If you assume it’s enclave

untold socket
worthy warren
#

Like?

untold socket
#

House and begging in the same sentence? In what world, there is no chance House would beg anyone for anything.

worthy warren
#

Can you cite a whole sentence here?

solid moss
#

Just to make things easy for us
I do believe its house and not the enclave but i am not gonna pretend enclave cant be a possible choice

untold socket
#

Hank implying that House would have to beg him specifically for help is crazy.

worthy warren
#

I’m at work and can’t pull it up

Its something close to that

worthy warren

#

There also another quote where he says
Reporting for duty sir

Thats not really house ways
House speak more straight foward and doesnt fancy around agent talks

#

Hank's legitimately delusional if he thinks House'd ever beg for some jumped-up coffee boy's help.

worthy warren
#

“This deal is so good you are gonna practically beg to buy this refrigerator”

#

You are taking it far too literally

#

He isn’t expecting houses corpse to fall to his knees, he’s just saying it’s a good deal

untold socket
#

The full quote from the transcript is,

"This is Hank MacLean, reporting for duty, sir. Nobody in Vault-Tec knows I’m here. And nobody in Vault-Tec knows much of anything anymore. Wanted to let you know I’m still alive. I hope you are, too. I mean, I don’t doubt that you are. You spent so much time… calculating how to survive all possible contingencies. Uh, I’ve been keeping busy. I’m in Vegas these days, back in your old stomping grounds, actually… trying to pick up where you all left off. Looks like a couple of the Vault experiments ran into some speed bumps. 24 made progress on the brain-computer interface. This one, miniaturization. What it all needs is integrating. But I’m confident that if I just roll up my sleeves, I can bring it all home for you. Then, we can finally talk about my promotion. [blows sharply] I’m gonna complete the work you started. And when this is all over, you will be begging me to help you."

untold socket
worthy warren
#

Yeah he’s clearly talking to house lol. Houses whole thing is calculating probability and business

untold socket
#

But if it's anyone else, it can work - and they might be interested in it.

worthy warren
#

This is bravado business man talk

lament lichen
#

Enclave in particular would probably have more use for it than House; latter always struck me as preferring bread and circuses over goofball mind control shenanigans.

worthy warren
#

Except that we literally see that it’s his technology

untold socket
worthy warren
#

Like I just don’t see how what Hank says could be referring to the enclave. Mention of Vegas, calculating probability, plus the fact that vault tec is in the pocket of the enclave

untold socket
#

Coop implied House didn't own all of Vegas.

worthy warren
untold socket
#

I'll double check, I'm almost sure he said House owned only half of it.

#

I have the transcript i'll just find the quote, I could be wrong.

#

Give me a sec.

worthy warren
#

I think he said more “he owns half of Vegas” like it’s a lot not that it’s not a lot

#

The implication is as that he was practically in complete control of the city not the opposite

untold socket
#

Yeah he does say specifically, half of Vegas -
"Yeah, I’m familiar with Robert House. The guy owns half of Las Vegas."

I'm not saying that he isn't in complete control or doesn't have a good grip on it. But if he doesn't own the city in it's entireity, it's possible there could be other people involved with Vegas, too.
But we might just disagree, there. Which is fine. lol

solid moss
#

The enclave is just an alternative option if for some reason its not house

untold socket
solid moss
#

Like my guy
This guy was with vault tec and then suddendly shown to be somehow working for house?
This guy is interesting

frosty tapir
#

theres more to it that we dont know cause house wouldnt work willingly with the guy who nuked shady sands actively ruining his own planning

lament lichen
frosty tapir
#

exactly lol#

solid moss
worthy warren
#

Nobody besides moldaver seemed to even know who nuked shady sands

#

Most people would assume legion or BOS

frosty tapir
# worthy warren How would house know

I suppose that could be a direction they take it, hanks final line does seem to suggest hank is pulling his own strings with making house "begging to work with him"

solid moss
worthy warren
lament lichen
solid moss
worthy warren
#

You can visit abandoned nuclear facilities with shelves of them in basically every game

frosty tapir
#

i wouldnt be surprised if the bos just claim themselves to be the one to nuke shady sands since they did land there straight after

untold socket
worthy warren
#

It wouldn’t fit their image to claim it but it would fit the NCRS view of them

lament lichen
#

Nuking Shady Sands also frankly seems like a step too far for even the Legion; they presumably prefer to rule, not lob nukes like they're a 76 player farming for flux.

frosty tapir
#

im surprised the bos arent more concerned with the idea someone else has access to nukes that isnt them or the ncr

solid moss
worthy warren
frosty tapir
worthy warren
#

They killed everyone in searchlight and made it uninhabitable

untold socket
#

It was a retaliatory solution to an emotional problem he had about his Wife leaving him.

frosty tapir
#

i think hank is purely just doing his own thing but idrk what hes planning on doing, like im unsure if hes even still working with vault tec rn

untold socket
#

And he justified it with Vault Tec logic.

frosty tapir
#

like hank left for vegas of his own volition and abandoned the 33 experiment he was supposed to be apart of and we dont really know why yet

untold socket
frosty tapir
#

also side theory, i think house abandoned the mind control chips he developed (hence why he doesnt use them in nv) but it is vault tec that kept an interest in them and thereby hank who now also has an interest in them again

untold socket
frosty tapir
#

true then again house could completely be dead by this point and hank is talking to himself lol

worthy warren
#

My bet is vault tec is going to try and sell cold fusion to house in exchange for mind control chips

lament lichen
frosty tapir
untold socket
#

As far as we could tell, at least.

frosty tapir
lament lichen
#

Fellas gotta be cooking up something big if they've been spending nearly twenty years playing hide and seek with the rest of the Wasteland.

worthy warren
#

Moldaver said she thinks that’s why vault tec is going to Vegas

frosty tapir
untold socket
frosty tapir
#

i feel like if house had cold fusion he wouldnt have even needed the platinium chip, like a big reason why house doesnt do anything for so long is that it isnt until the NCR pop up that he can get energy to turn vegas into a real city for people from hoover dam

untold socket
lament lichen
#

Maybe Moldaver/Coop sabotages that deal?

frosty tapir
#

true and this fits a bit better with house wanting to do his own thing and not get involved with vault tec or the enclave

#

house in the trailer suggests that coop somehow plays a part with how the world ends which is a crazy line if you think about it

untold socket
lament lichen
frosty tapir
#

na i feel like coop was too busy getting kicked out of hollywood and entertaining kids birthday parties just before the war

#

which further begs the question of how he could possibly be involved with the end of the world

untold socket
worthy warren
lament lichen
#

And then there's the walking question mark known as Moldaver to account for.

untold socket
#

I am curious if they will show how she survived.

frosty tapir
#

i cant wait for the prewar flashbacks to catch up to the day the bombs drop then we get full circle where we have one full straight timeline of events

lament lichen
#

Seeing House's defense system protect Vegas during the Great War would be cool.

frosty tapir
#

they could totally do that tbf and yeah thatd be awesome

untold socket
frosty tapir
#

true true

lament lichen
#

Not like he hasn't been blindsided before, considering Benny of all people bamboozled him.

untold socket
#

Yeah it would fall in line with, most of his plans work - but not all of them, but more times than not, they do. This just happens to be one of the few that doesn't.

solid moss
#

If i recalled and correct me but when you siding with house, the reactor in the lucky 38 can literally be self sufficient

untold socket
solid moss
#

That means he literally can make renewable energy enough to power up lucky 38
And he even admit that it takes a lot of power, even with the dam supporting it

frosty tapir
#

i think that was more a failsafe for the battle of hoover dam he uses el dorado substation to redirect some power to the lucky 38 to jump start his own reactor in the basement so that if the legion damages hoover dam the lucky 38 and his control over the securitrons wont go out

#

on the other hand cold fusion is just unlimited free energy (which is kind of a wild concept lol)

untold socket

# frosty tapir which further begs the question of how he could possibly be involved with the en...

At least in the trailer I saw house really just says “I know you came to Vegas to kill me…I don’t know how you you play a part in ending the world, but you most certain do”.
It’s not clear if those clips actually belong together yet or not, and the ‘kill me’ part could very well be a different scene than the ‘part in ending the world’.

But assuming they’re not separate and are all directed at cooper, if the context is Coop coming to vegas with his wife, the high up in VT, and house knows VT has questionable plans to end the world, then when the spouse of one of those VT people shows up to kill him I think it’s very reasonable just on its face to basically say “you’re clearly connected to what’s going on here, even if I don’t know how”

worthy warren
#

Coop was a big deal in getting vault tec its popularity and gaining acceptance among the population

untold socket
frosty tapir
#

i still think that vault 33 is only just one aspect of vault tec and its not like their main thing or anything even though they have prewar employees there

jolly dust
#

in the context of 'how could Coop be involved with the end of the world in House's eyes', all that really matters is that Coop was super visibly connected to Vault Tec, as well as privately; whether or not they would be willing to cast him aside doesn't change that

untold socket
jolly dust
#

The reality is that it’s a trailer intending to get people talking and read too much into it haha

jolly dust
#

Actually I do think they might be seperate. This section is the "Mr Howard...I know you came to Vegas to kill me", but the "Mr. Howard" part is voice over, not said on screen.

#

And then this is the "I don't know yet how you play a part in ending the world...", which could certainly be the same scene talking to the same person, presumably Coop, but it could also easily be a different scene or talking to a different person.

Either way...trailer editing intentionally obfuscates lol

frosty tapir
#

excited for that scene cooper and house interacting

#

next episode too, christmas eve gonna be awesome

jolly dust
#

100% agreed on both counts

Which then would beg the question of why exactly a bunch of presumably NCR fellas are sticking around in the Mojave rather than bailing back to their home states or whatever's left of it.

t51b probably wont be in the anchorage flashback because most likely cooper will be in holywood by the time t51b was shipped out to the frontline

#

he likely served much earlier in the conflict when they only had t45

#

conjecture on my part here but im kinda hoping the flashback is set when the americans first use t45 and we see how much of an advantage power armor provided on the alskan front

worn ruin
# hallow flint Oh

The quality is low but they look to be wearing some sort of duster but it doesn't look like the Ghoul, definitely wearing some sort of shoulder armor which matches the Ranger armor (the show seems to be using the advanced/elite riot gear from Lonesome Road as the standard vet ranger armor)

anchorage might be the wrong term i meant the chinese invasion of alaska as a whole which starts over 10 years before 2077

t45 rolls around within a few years of the invasion but t51 only appears way later

mighty scaffold
frosty tapir
#

i mean it was also the House family business and then later it was Robert's business after he used robco to take it over

#

other than that one line nothing suggests that anthony has anything to do with the tv show, all traielr footage, interviews and reviews indicate its just mr house using a body double

lament lichen
#

And honestly, why would Robert ever work with the brother who robbed him of his inheritance?

frosty tapir
#

yeah like the mind control theory doesnt even work cause we clearly see him testing those devices in ep1 so he wouldnt have it fully operating to use on anthony by this point

untold socket
untold socket
# mighty scaffold Probably because H&H tools is Anthony's company

It WAS his - It's Robert's now, not Anthony's. Robert took control of it, hence why H&H tools is on the Securitrons. Robert bought it out from his Brother and assumed a hostile takeover. He tortured Anthony and Anthony stayed an employee and H&H for years after he lost his position before he snapped. Atp you're either flat out ragebating or just refusing to read. Lol

untold socket
silver belfry
#

if you read the terminals which i highly recommend you do. Anthony House died alone due to faulty security and fired everyone in his company for being so paranoid everyone was after him

#

While sure he shares paranoid qualities like Robert. He was incredibly schizophrenic

#

again READ THE TERMINALS

untold socket
# silver belfry if you read the terminals which i highly recommend you do. Anthony House died al...

He didn't fire everyone, he trapped them inside H&H and killed them which is . . . a huge difference lol. Which then turns it into a Deathtrap for centuries, the security system was anything but faulty, he rigged it to kill the employees cause he believed they were working for Robert.

The security measures are listed as outlandish, but not faulty.
"In the end, Anthony's paranoia came to a head on June 19, 2077. Having lost faith even in Cindy-Lou Kreb, convinced that every single one of his employees was in on the conspiracy and that Robert House was coming to physically remove him from his office, he locked down the factory and activated its security systems, refusing to go down without a fight. His actions turned the H&H Tools factory into a deathtrap for centuries to come."

silver belfry
#

Overall we know its not Anthony because we know how he ends off vs House

mighty scaffold
#

Interesting

silver belfry
#

It also doesnt make sense why Anthony would use Robert as some sort of mascot for a company he doesn’t even know aka Robco. He owns H&H and Robert also owned and probably helped develop the nailgun

frosty tapir
#

i mean we know its not anthony because the cast literally tell us theyre both playing robert house

So you're definitely correct some level of knowledge, Robert had to have known.

thats fascinating as well cause that sign would have been erected prior to the nuking but after new vegas so its interesting they made a new city the capital in between those two events

Still, if Shady Sands wasn't the capital by whatever year the place went boom, what would be its current capital? The Hub? Arroyo, even?

Why has no one mentioned the fact the lights seem to be on even if they are flickering||

what happened to hoover dam if shady sands (which is now in the boneyard) has been nuked, is it still sending pwoer to the NCR?

lament lichen
worthy warren
#

For all we know the NCR won the second battle but lost the dam shortly after anyways

#

The dam could have dried up, could be destory, could be useless, etc

worthy warren

A lot can happen in 15 years

Would be funny if that Vault-Tec bunker Hank's in is underneath Hoover Dam if it isn't in the sealed-off part of Vault 21.

The dam is like 30 mins from Vegas

#

Less if you do it from the outskirts

The dam in theory could be a place hank is in

There is a season 1 scene and the vault looks at least 50 stories deep

#

That was under downtown la

where is it hinited that its in dwontown la?

worthy warren
#

I was just pointing out that the vaults in the show are fucking huge compared to the games

#

Yes

worthy warren

Way deeper

#

Vault tec can put a mega facility under anywhere

Most things in fallout would be in way worse condition then the games and show give is

upbeat pumice
#

Yeah I actually wanted to talk about it but like
The show actually is the first time I see a media thing portray actual decay of urban areas after a century or two
Like tbh it would make sense most areas comprised of suburban homes and heavily damaged buildings would just eventually succumb to the elements until a little or nothing is left

#

That's why the deserts in the middle of LA and all of that

worthy warren
#

Buildings in the west would actually be in much better condition then in the east

#

Unaddressed water damage in the east would make most building deteriorate super fast

upbeat pumice
worthy warren
#

A well built steel and concrete structure would probably last 200 years

solid moss
#

There also the fact that the west werent nearly hit as hard compare to the east coast

worthy warren
#

But houses and smaller buildings will just collapse

#

There is a house in my neighborhood that been abandoned for 10 years and already looks about as bad as the average house from fallout 4

i dont think we should pay too much attention to this given this is a universe where they discovered practical nuclear fusion before the transistor

Have you people ever heard of proper sheltering

#

How come you figure out how to maintain power armor but not that

To be fair
This issue is mainly occurs in the east coast

And lets be honest
The east coast got hit so hard that can you blame them for not bothering to fix shit than trying to survive?

I mean, no?

Most of the single detonation sights we can find are very small direct effect

#

Like the White House got hit directly and its foundation is still kinda there

upbeat pumice
#

Hmm
Ok yeah fair

#

Still they might something else in them

worthy warren
#

Fallout seems to just have smaller nukes that were used in carpet bombings

upbeat pumice

That they wouldn't normally have IRL

Physics itself works completely different in fallout and doesn’t follow our laws

episode 3 is taking too long

oblique kestrel
#

Oh... This is like classic TV... only without the upside of 22+ eps.....

hushed cove
#

to be fair, each one is about an hour long

#

as opposed to tv which is what, 20 minutes?

untold socket
#

We're essentially getting up to 3 typical modern day tv episodes into 1.

oblique kestrel
#

Modern day 60 minute blocks are 43 minutes TV, 18 minutes ad time. Thats up from the 60s/70s which were 52 minutes TV/8 mins ads.

#

So for every 4 episodes at 60 minutes you gain 1 linear episode.. so you'd be talking 10 TV eps per 8 Streaming eps...

worthy warren
#

Star Trek tng was like 45 mins an episode. We trade shorter seasons for longer episodes and higher production and larger scope

jolly dust
#

….but you’d also be getting 1960s/1970s TV quality if you follow the length / ad numbers then, pretty sure you don’t actually want that trade off lmao

worthy warren
#

Shows used to be very episodic and reused sets like crazy

untold socket
worthy warren
#

I’ve never tried it

#

Watched all of tng multiple times tho

untold socket
#

It's just as good as tng, plus recurring tng characters

oblique kestrel
#

Not to mention now days a lot of sets are digital in the first place. Once it's designed, reuse is simple. (Not saying I prefer digital sets, but they do have their place..) Also an old addage: Tight budgets force creativity. Some of the smallest budgeted things are some of the best. (See ST:TWOK, Robocop) When you throw endless money at a project...people get sloppy. (And inefficient)

Currently watching episode 1... Neat how they used an unused vault number from the files of New Vegas for this vault

#

SON OF HANK YOU'RE AWESOME (I forgot your name)

untold socket
#

Yeah, they're definitely in their cut content bag, and I'm all here for it.

signal current
#

Exactly!!! Using cut content like that is smart
Especially with how, well
I'm currently IN the vault 24 scene

#

It's quite fun to see what they did with the thing
I feel like Hank was talking through that one guy ngl, at least it felt like it

#

It says those bombs could have been used for explosives in the pre-war era... But House himself said they were used to prevent most of vegas from being destroyed. I honestly don't know which is true

signal current
#

OMFG GOLDEN PIP-BOY

#

"You spent so much time calculating how to survive all possible contingencies" ngl it sounds like he's sending a message to House, especially because those black boxes were a part of Vault 24 it seems
