  • Advertised as An Ark for the Atomic Age, Vault 96 was never what it seemed.
    It's greatest secret remains a mystery, as in cryogenics bay 86, locked behind military access controls, a single cryo pod houses Specimen X-001.
    Accessed only by the vault’s automated systems its genetic samples exhibited a transference capability and… were used to create a unique shifting mutation. All attempts to identify what the specimen was failed. No vitals, no measurements, no source data. Only an ID number.
    So what is Specimen X-001?
    In today’s video we explore two different theories to try and answer this question. Going back through the events that took place in Vault 96, as well as investigating some potential links between the mutated creatures from Vault 96 and the mutated enemies we face in Daily Ops.

    I think the idea that specimen x0001 is a flatwoods monster to be less likely than the possibility that the flatwoods monsters are actually the product OF x0001 merging with the aliens, either accidentally or deliberately, and as such it's more likely to be something like The Thing or, as you say, the alien beasties from Prey.
    My reasoning: the tiphons share similarities with the beastie from John Carpenter's The Thing, an 80s sci-fi horror film, whereas the experiments themselves, and the description of what happened to the bloatflies, seem to be heavily influenced by The Fly, also an 80s sci-fi horror film.

      When I was looking through this Vault all I could think was "Five of the most intelligent people on the planet couldn't find a way to sabotage the machinery?". I mean, what did they do, just rush the Assaultrons with clubs? There are several places in the bunker without constantly trained turrets. Figure your plan out, sabotage one of the doors to those areas, either build yourself something explosive because that's actually pretty easy with the materials they had on hand and they would have had the knowledge to do so or otherwise arm yourself, crack the door open and take out anything you can, repeat, profit.
      Like, yeah, I'm making it sound easier than it really would be. But it's like the four that were left at the end just Leeroy Jenkins it.

    I like the idea of it being a Typhon, either a Mimic or a Phantom.
    Mimics can become Weavers which can become poltergeists
    Phantoms are resurrected humans by Weavers.
    But the key note to think about is that Prey (2017) isn't an Alien game per se, it's a Cosmic Horror.
    the coral is created as a nest for a greater Typhon being to come along and devour.
    You take damage if you try to scan it which parallels the human mind breaking when gazing upon a Lovecraftian Elder God.
    The reason I state this is due to Fallout's repeated references to Outer/Elder Gods.
    So I'd theory it's an Easter egg to both Prey (2017) and it's ongoing In-Universe Cosmic Horror.

    All of the known mutations at 6:30 are the serums we use to get those, except the Cryokinesis...
    We actually do have a cryptid that seems to be able to use a form of teleportation and transference, the Mothman. As well as possibly being able to use mental abilities, though thats questionable.
    I think X-001 however is related to the Interloper... or its something new.

    Technically if you break down the mutations then the most likely answer is, its whatever the player character is in the Fallout franchise. Its never really explained what we are and why we can do what no one else in storyline can. Cause we do everything that is listed. We easily teleport, can deal with fire, cold, and electrc damage better than any NPC or creature. We have a bit of psy powers in that we are so easily able to manipulate NPCs through voice chat options. We can phase materials into built objects really easily. We have knowledge of other player characters and events even though their is no direct way we should know about things, which ties into the jumping or spreading of mutations between subjects even though they are sealed. Much like every time we are sealed in a vault.

    Aside from the fact that it's from a different game, the Typhon theory makes the most sense. I don't think the Flatwoods Monster's teleportation is genetic.
    Also, from the Creation Club, you can get the Prey spacesuit as an add-on. I'm probably reaching, but that could be an indicator that Prey and Fallout exist in the same universe.

    The Idea that X-001 is a Typhon would be a horrifying one; the ending of Prey 2016 implied that if even a Single One of them made it to Earth or even someone with too many of their Nuromods it would be apocalyptic in a way that makes Nuclar War look tame. As would X-001 if it's really a Typhon...
    The only saving grace would be if it was the equivalent to the "Morgan Yu" or through some Temporal shenanigans was actually Morgan from one of the endings where "IT" doesn't choose to go on a murderous rampage. A normal Phantom variant wouldn't have all those abilities at once but what pops out at the very end with potential experience with the full gamut of Typhon Nuromods might be able to do all those things.

    The researchers fields of expertice all suggest that the Flatwoods Monster is the result of the research in Vault 96. Consider that the team was put together with foreknowledge of the task ahead. You had a microbiologist, a geneticist, a programmer, an aeronautics engineer and a roboticist. The vault was also equipped with both automaton fabricators and genetic engineering facilities.
    This means the end product would be a genetically modified cybernetic creature with flight capabilities. The next clue is the petri dishes as three mutations are abilities the Flatwoods monster has; these are regeneration, venom and electrokinesis. Finally the Shifting ability is uniquely associated with this creature.
    As for why the petri dishes suddenly developed identical traits or how teleportation fits into this is strange but the purple glow of the Flatwoods monsters eyes could be a clue as the Fallout Bible has this to say: "the psykers in Fallout 1 show some pretty over-the-top mutations that could take the world to Childhood's End faster than you can say "uh, his eyes are glowing?"" So what you may have here is Zetans who have been exposed to the FEV resulting in the manifestation of psychic powers who are then brainwashed or killed before being cybernetically grafted to advanced power suit technology with flight capabilities and deployed for field testing in Appalachia where they'll be mistaken for the local boogyman.

    I know, I know, this isn't a serious comment, I know Bethesda would never go around and be like "let's make a reference to a fanfic", I'm just saying they have a lot of similarities.
    For those who don't know, Prototype is a game with a virus called Blacklight, that gives it's infected, pretty much, the same characteristics that Specimen X-01 has, and in this crossover, Vault-tec managed to capture an infected, and put him inside a locked pod in a Vault.
    Is a good story, and again, I'm not saying this is what Specimen X-01 is, it's just a fun comparison.

    Something you only mentioned, is that when the x-001 sample was analyzed, the result was as if it didn’t have anything to register.
    It certainly sounds like something that would happen with a typhon sample, given that they can seemingly imitate any inert material. On the other hand, they also have the ability to control electronics in Prey, which there doesn’t seem to be any sign of here.
    The alternative is that, possibly, the creature is something from the supernatural side of Fallout. We know how much Bethesda loves their Lovecraft references. With that in mind, this sounds more like a Shoggoth, which is VERY similar to a Typhon with it’s mimicking ability.

      If it is the Typhon, then them not altering/controlling the tech in the Vault can be explained: they hadn't reached the point where they could make Technopaths yet.
      Think about it, Technopaths are shown to be at least a different subtype of Typhon in their ecology, and we don't see them in Prey until the infestation grows worse. Same thing with the Nightmare, it doesn't show up until the infestation gets worse, and until Morgan becomes more powerful via Neuromods (especially Typhon-based ones).
      Using this info, and the fact that Appalachia isn't covered in Mimics, Coral, or has an Apex actively eating it, we can assume that the Typhon infestation was killed early in development, and as such Appalachia doesn't have to worry about becoming Prey 2: Fallout Edition.
      That, or again, it's just a reference, and it didn't actually happen, or it is just tied to the Interloper or another Cryptid we haven't seen yet. Still, would be fun to hear the two universes are loosely tied to each other, or to hear the Enclave began fucking with the same shit that got Talos-1 to become a big, orbital paperweight.

    Enclaves formulas for mutations are likely a direct result of this vault and further searching the Enclave white springs bunker and the missions you are sent on allows you to discover some hunter/researcher's notes on the strange creatures known before the nukes and aside from super mutants and other fev creatures there are a few creatures that make a appearance: the mothman, zetans, the old gods(the sculptor in fo3, the monster at the bottom of lucky hole mine, Cold in the new update of 76, and the other interference from the paranormal in the games), the other genetic anomalies like the tunnelers and wanamingos, then there are the floaters and pits creatures. What if fev is not what we were told it was and it was extracted from something it would explain why they were never able to stabilize it if it wasn't really created.

    i think x0001 is a FEV mutant tbh. FEV mutants are infertile but can reproduce asexualy as was seen in the flat worms exposed to FEV. So, perhaps the specimen's ability to infect other organic material was a mutation that WesTek was able to create in this specimen to circumvent that. Furthermore, WesTek did work with Vault Tech, as they provided the ZAX computer system that WesTek used for their research. So, perhaps the US Gov (in the months before the bombs) gave Valt Tech their most promising specimen to protect and continue research on as the WesTek lab was a major target and the Mariposa Base was also at risk (though ultimately unharmed) so as to ensure at least some of their research survived.

      West Tek did make a lot of mutants to be fair! Could definitely see that being the case!

  • @ulvemann43

    I don't actually think it is either a typhon or a flatwoods monster.
    To me, the flatwood monster seems more like a crazy alien scientist with a specially designed battlesuit, whose every ability is mechanical.
    And i don't think they'd reference another game like that.
    What i think, instead, is that specimen X-001 is an entity like the interloper or visitor, a weird and highly alien creature found on Earth. The descriptions and logs about X-001 give of a very eldritch horror vibe, matching those two creatures who are themselves clearly based upon eldritch horror.

    Just a theory about the Flatwoods Monster.
    I think it's a normal Zetan alien but they require certain specific nutrients that aren't found in a large enough quantity so it's body is more or less shriveling up to conserve itself while it adapts to the nutrients around it. I don't think it's going to continue to devolve, but unless it gets on a regular diet of its alien nutrients, I think it's just going to stay the same.
    As for it's teleportation? I think it's just a specialized recon unit. That's just my take on it.

    Maybe it is related to the interloper... i dont think that it is related to zetans at all... basically because I think that Vault-tec and the zetans were either working together or part of each other. I always have had the suspition that all these experiements are linked to an external being experimenting on an allien planet... meaning that the zetans either inflitrated Vault-tec or created vault-tec through human proxies in order to analyze humans and the earth fauna and flora, as it seems humans were one of the few races to actually repel their invasion... humans took their mothership later on and destroy a second incoming mothership. That DLC gave some light to some of those suspitions back then. I dont see how mutating people and understanding human phisiology could be more interesting for humans surviving the apocalypse than for aliens... I also dont think that Vault tec and the enclave were working together but more likely like a government shadow organization they found out this work and piggyback them and stole all the data for their own research and experimentation. Regarding the escape of mutated specimens... as far as I know that was done by the "president" at the time wanting to take control remotely of the silos by creating a level 1 emergency situation... but failed internally and even MODUS decided to exterminate them all, as they not only comprimised the enclave, but also everyone else including the "country"... hence it was defined as inherently evil and destroyed ... you can see also from the enclave members (at least the ones that we got holotapes from) that they were not expecting anything of this to happen, but only the madmen at the top did it... therefore I dont think that the enclave at the end is the ultimate bad buy ... they are twisted... but I would say that they are neutral evil more than 100% evil. I think that there has to be something else than meets the eye... I even think that the Interloper is tied to all of this... maybe the Interloper is the reason why the zetans are so keen to invade Earth?? Who knows.. But nonetheless... I think that your video was awesome

    Hm. Good video. Were I to guess combining both theories might be a viable answer.
    Zetans trying to harness the Prey critters gives us Flatwoods monsters.
    Specimen X001 therefore could be a captured Flatwoods.
    The “spreading” mutation gives an in-game lore explanation for the double-mutation events and so on.

    Something about all of the vaults just doesn't make sense.
    The vast majority of them we're basically designed to fail but the experiments they had going on a lot of them there was no way that they could successfully survive.
    The only successful vault we know of are ones that either abandon their mission or didn't have an experiment to begin with.
    Some of these experiments could have been failed days into starting why invest billions of dollars putting together a whole vault for an experiment that could possibly fail almost immediately.
    Now assuming there is some main vault tec vault somewhere that actually received all of the information from all of these vaults.
    What could they possibly use some of these results for.
    What could having put one man and ninety-nine women in one vault and the opposite in the other vault possibly tell you about anyting.
    I'd say maybe ten of all the vaults I had any kind of an experiment that could possibly impact the future of humanity.
    And the rest of them were just cruel manipulative ways people thought up to kill people that they should have been saving

    All across Fallout's lore there are examples of what can only be described as Eldritch Horrors, you can even find some of them in 76. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it turned out the specimen was one of these, how Vault Tec would be able to contain one though is beyond me.
