Helen Marks

Helen Marks was a surgeon who resided in Vault 51.
==Background==
Marks was one of the few natural leaders in the vault. When Nancy Vasquez was strangled for her food rations, then thrown from the balcony, Marks determined that her death was no accident and insisted on catching the killer by the whole community, but her words fell on deaf ears.Vault 51 terminal entries; terminal, Regarding Nancy's Death 
Together with Reuben Gill, she was one of the few interested in the vault's long term survival even in the face of starvation. Gill pursued Marks romantically, but she was not interested in him because of her existing relationship with Chris. ZAX even interfered in this love triangle by intercepting and altering intramail between Marks and Gill.Vault 51 terminal entries; overseer's terminal, INTERCEPTED COMMUNICATION Despite the violence that accompanied the survival, Marks clung to her convictions as late as August 2078, even in the face of the brutal death of the Chambers, Matthew Johnston and Carmen Greene. ZAX and Gill's cynical remarks about the food supply being stabilized after their deaths horrified her and she was able to shame Gill into reason.Helen Marks & Reuben Gill - 20780803 
Marks' leadership, however, was short-lived, as she was found dead on August 6, 2078. Omar Stephens discovered her body in the cafeteria, her face buried in a bowl of rationed food, leading him to suspect that she had been poisoned. Her death led to the eventual downfall of the vault, as it fully erupted in chaos and violence on the same day, with Gill being the lone survivor of the fighting.Vault 51 terminal entries; terminal, I Need Your Help
