Vault 11 was a social experiment. In this experiment, the inhabitants of Vault 11 were told that they must sacrifice one of their fellow vault dwellers each year, and that, should they refuse, all the dwellers will be killed. In actuality, if the residents refused, an "Automated Solution Response" was supposed to be played. The message stated that by choosing not to select one of their own as a sacrifice, the dwellers are, "A shining example to humanity" and that no one will be killed. They are also informed that the vault door is then unlocked so they can come and go as they please but are urged to consult with their Overseer before they do so. However, by the time Vault 11 inhabitants refused to continue sacrificing their residents, only 10 survivors remained.
The residents of the vault, in their shock and anger at discovering this after having already been sealed inside the vault, selected the original Overseer (whom they viewed as having betrayed them) as the first sacrifice. This decision would marry the positions of Overseer and Sacrifice until the end.
After a war within the vault leaving only 10 survivors, they learned that choosing no one to die meant that everyone would have been let go. The survivors decide to leave the vault.
This is their story.
