Mili Yeti, a 23-year-old Vault dweller who worked in Vault 166’s gardening quarter, becomes one of the candidates for an expedition into the Mojave. She’s particularly suitable because her parents prepared her for the possibility of leaving the Vault. She knows basic wasteland survival, understands the dangers of radiation and raiders, and—unlike many sheltered Vault residents—isn’t completely unfamiliar with the outside world.

Her proposed assignment would be to: Travel outside Vault 166. Locate adult women who are healthy, mentally stable, and capable of living cooperatively with the Vault community. Explain what Vault 166 offers and why they’re seeking new residents. Establish relationships with settlements and potential recruits. Bring willing candidates back to the Vault for medical screening and consideration.

Ultimately help determine whether the Vault can safely expand its population

Backstory: After the Great War, the Mojave Desert became a dangerous wasteland filled with ruined cities, raiders, mutants, radiation, and scattered settlements because of the nuclear nukes. Among the survivors are Vault-Tec’s underground Vaults, some of which were designed as genuine long-term shelters rather than experiments.

Vault 166 is one such control Vault. Its residents have maintained a relatively stable society for generations, with functioning agriculture, education, medicine, and infrastructure. However, the Vault is beginning to face a serious long-term population problem: after generations of isolation, its relatively small gene pool is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain without creating close-family relationships.

The Vault’s leadership therefore considers a controversial solution: contacting healthy, stable people living outside the Vault and inviting them to become new residents, expanding the population and genetic diversity while preserving the Vault’s society.
