Vault 911

The Vault doors

**Vault 911**, commonly known as simply **The Vault**, was a collaborative build located within Mount Teebadee in downtown Syberia. The vault was heavily inspired by the large fallout shelters of the Fallout series, and like the games' vaults, it was built to sustain a number of players during an apocalyptic event.

Although it fell into relative obscurity in the server's final days, it stood as one of the server's more successful collaborative builds, with many players having "reserved" a room inside by the time of the server's closing.

## History

In the very early days of Syberia, one of the first major projects the community underwent was the creation of an exquisite corpse comic, which the Discord was created to oversee. However, many feared that the publishing of the comic would inform undesirable lurkers of Syberia's existence and lead to a collapse of the server. While entry regulations helped to quell these fears, Burrito decided to make a build based off the short-lived paranoia. Inspired by the hype around Fallout 76 and a then-recent stream from Twitch streamer RTGame, he began to carve a vault into the side of the under-construction Mount TBD, a move which Snipe supported. He advertised the vault as a refuge for the the-current users of Syberia to hide away from the lurkers.

After being a central aspect of Project's short story "Lurkers in Syber," the newly christened Vault 911 slowly expanded from there, receiving its original two levels, the first two residential wings, the entertainment center, and the farm from Tungsten's attempts to create a piston door. Jelly created a flag for the vault in January 2019, which was quickly promoted to the flag for the entire server. Despite this initial success, development stagnated for a number of months where no major additions were made to the vault.

After a bout of roleplay between Broadcast and Jandro allegedly resulted in around 7 billion deaths, Burrito added an extra residential wing, leading to a small influx of new residents. Despite its temporary destruction along with the rest of Mt. Teebadee during the Yuletide Raids, the vault continued to occasionally expand over the next year and a half.

Just before the server's closing on July 26, 2021, many players sought refuge inside the vault in order to hide from the coming destruction, leaving Vault 911 as the final resting place of a sizable portion of Syberia's playerbase.

## Features

### Floor 1

Floor 1 contained the entrance, which contained hazmat suits, a lever to open and close the doors, and ladders to descend into the main lobby. The lobby mainly acted as a branching-off point, containing an elevator, the door to the farm, a large television and aquarium for entertainment, and large numerals spelling out "911." Two balconies overlooked the lobby, the north containing leisure seating and the south containing the first two residential wings.

A door on the top south balcony lead to a hallway containing the majority of the residences, a restroom, a door to the undeveloped lower floor, and an elevator to Floor 2.

The vault farm was designed to provide a sustainable supply of food, using state-of-the-art technology to grow crops and breed various types of animals without need for outside help.

### Floor 2

Floor 2 was accessed through the elevator, which emerged in the garden. The garden lead into the vault diner and Vault Wing B. Within Wing B, there was a library containing most books written in the server, a panic room for emergencies, an abandoned area where experimentation allegedly took place, and a large entertainment center which included a gymnasium and an elevator to the residence hall.

### Floor 3

Floor 3 consisted only of the vault's power station, which consisted of a generator run off of Ender crystals. A number of villagers remained on standby at all times to run the backups should the Ender generator fail.

## Escape attempts

Despite the vault's safe nature, the following constructed ways to break out should they end up inside.

• 71snack: Buried a set of op armor and weaponry within the walls.

• Snipe: Made a secret door behind a painting that leads to a walkway through the interior of Mt. Teebadee.

• Tungsten: Has a door to access the interior of Mt. Teebadee. Formerly hidden, but the mechanisms have fallen into disrepair.

• Lombard: Created a secret passageway to a secure room with a window and data on the outside world. This room has since fallen into disrepair in Lombard's absence.

• Doodle: Created a redstone door to gain access to caves adjacent to the Vault. Her horse Marble currently resides within the greater cavern inside Mt. Teebadee.

• The diner staff: Provided access to the vault's piping system through the sink, which leads into Teebadee's cavern system.

• Dark: Implemented a command block bomb that would end up crashing the server as leverage in case the mods locked him inside. He has also implemented similar bombs all across the server in various locations, before eventually being banned.
