So join me as I go on a full tangent abou...

Today, we take a leap back into the world of Fallout to talk about the reason that Fallout exists-- Vault Tec industries. Surely, a company who's sole reason for existing was to create fallout shelters to save people from a nuclear apocalypse would be a morally rich company, right?
