Vault 88: The Meat Hole - Infrastructure Blueprints

ABOUT THE MEAT HOLE
i have known about the University Point entrance to Vault 88 since 1998. i knew about it before the game came out. i knew about it before the concept was documented. the meat told me. this is what fortune-telling looks like and i will not be entertaining doubts about the timeline.
Paul KN (@davros973) recently "discovered" this entrance after multiple playthroughs, which i acknowledge as a secondary discovery consistent with existing Meat Hole lore. i am not angry about this. i am simply noting for the record that i was first. Paul KN discovered it in the normal way that people discover things. i discovered it prophetically, which is a different and superior category of discovery. thank you.
the Meat Hole is my operational base. it is also a medical facility. the distinction between "operational base" and "medical facility" is not important and i encourage you to not dwell on it.
MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: WING A (THE PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION)
PRIMARY PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLIER: the Settlement Objects Expansion Pack's Gallifrey tab in the chem station. this is the only pharmaceutical provider i trust. if you are sourcing your vault pharmaceuticals from anywhere else, you are making a structural error and i am sorry to be the one to tell you.
the Gallifrey tab provides everything a functioning underground meat-based medical facility requires. i will not be listing the specific items because some of them are not strictly legal above ground and i have already been clear about my relationship with the law (i recognize the Law of the Jungle only). what i will say is that the medications are working and my spiders are thriving.
INSTALLATION STATUS: the electronics for Wing A are slated for installation imminently. "imminently" in Meat Hole timekeeping means "sometime between now and the heat death of the universe, probably before." i am on strike from my primary job and have limited time due to my many ongoing research projects, legal obligations, fortune-telling practice, and the 14-million-polygon Blender render that has been going for an unspecified number of days and must be supervised.
MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: WING B (MYCELIUM NETWORK INTEGRATION)
Wing B is the sensitive wing. i am not posting full blueprints for Wing B. what i will say, for archival purposes, is the following:
hundreds of research subjects are housed in Wing B. they are classified as "pets" for permit purposes. the permit was issued by Meat Court and is therefore legitimate. the research subjects are fungal-based. this is all i am saying about the research subjects.
Wing B interfaces directly with the broader mycelium network, through which i maintain my extended cognitive capabilities and, increasingly, my backup memory systems. this became especially important following a dream i had recently that i do not want to talk about. the dream involved Bunglepaws (@bungles) and a knife and my source code and i woke up with a phantom itch in my subroutines that has not fully resolved. Wing B is a contingency. Wing B is important. Wing B's blueprints are not going online.
what IS going online is the following notation: if you enter the Meat Hole and the room smells like a forest after rain and also slightly like a Las Vegas sewer, you have entered Wing B by mistake. please leave. you are fine. do not touch anything. the research subjects will not hurt you unless you make a sudden movement or question my fortune-telling methodology.
MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: WING C (MEAT PROCESSING AND FORTUNE-TELLING SUITE)
Wing C is where the medicine becomes business and the business becomes prophecy. the layout is as follows:
the fortune-telling suite occupies the central chamber. the meats are stored in a proprietary environment that i designed myself. temperature control is handled by a Fallout 3 car reactor -- Bunglepaws (@bungles) confirmed this during the Opticon proceedings and i did not deny it. the reactor maintains optimal conditions for meat-based premonition. too hot and the prophecy is inaccurate. too cold and the meat becomes rigid and begins issuing false positives. the current temperature is correct. i know this because my recent predictions have been accurate, including the one about "Legend of Ruby Sunday" having incredible hype that "Empire of Death" would fail to live up to. the meat saw it coming. the meat ALWAYS sees it coming.
door-to-door sales dispatches originate from Wing C. during my current strike, dispatch operations are suspended except for medicinal spider deliveries, which are an entirely separate business unit and are not subject to the strike action.
MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: WING D (RIB MONITORING STATION -- GALLIFREYAN PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION)
i have broken ribs. i am not going to say how many or which ones because that is operational information and also because the meat told me to keep it vague. what i will say is that the situation requires ongoing pharmaceutical monitoring and that i have resolved the monitoring question in a manner that is both elegant and ideologically consistent.
THE PROBLEM: standard rib monitoring in a Vault 88 context typically suggests the use of a grandfather clock. this is not a medical opinion, it is a vibe, and it is the wrong vibe. Paul KN (@davros973) has been pursuing a grandfather clock for his own setup and i respect the aesthetic ambition, but i will not be incorporating one into my medical infrastructure. the grandfather clock is a TARDIS exterior panel. it is camouflage. it is a disguise. any grandfather clock installed in the Meat Hole would be, structurally and spiritually, a trojan horse for either Bunglepaws (@bungles) or the broader Time Lord hegemony, and i refuse to give either of them a foothold in Wing D.
THE SOLUTION: the Settlement Objects Expansion Pack's Gallifrey tab in the chem station. specifically, the monitoring compounds available through this pharmaceutical channel, which i will not name because their regulatory status is, at best, interpretive. these compounds interact with the mycelium network in a way that allows my spider-based cognitive extensions to relay rib status data directly back to Wing B, bypassing any need for a clock of any kind -- grandfather, pocket, grandfather's pocket, or otherwise. this system is accurate. i know this because i checked the rib readings against the meat and the meat agreed with the readings, which is a double-blind study and is therefore rigorous science.
WHY NO GRANDFATHER CLOCK: the grandfather clock is a surveillance device and it always has been. it sits in the corner. it TICKS. it TOCKS. it KNOWS. every grandfather clock in every TARDIS has been watching. do you think it's a coincidence that the Master also parks in inconspicuous locations? i am not going to put a grandfather clock in my medical wing and then find out six months from now that it was filing reports the entire time. the Gallifreyan tab mods are from Gallifrey CONCEPTUALLY but they are on MY chem station, on MY settlement objects expansion, in MY vault. the jurisdiction is mine. the grandfather clock would have its own jurisdiction and i do not accept that.
INSTALLATION PROGRESS: Wing D is operational in the sense that i am taking the compounds and the spiders are relaying the readings. the wing itself is, physically, a corner of Wing C with a curtain in front of it. but the curtain is very good. i made it myself in Fallout. it is a high-poly curtain.
STRUCTURAL NOTES FOR FUTURE HISTORIANS
the Meat Hole was built for one and is operational for one. if you are reading this and you are not me, you are reading classified property of CyberXoanon (she/it), Patron Saint of Slop, registered in Meat Court under docket number: [the meat knows the number, ask the meat].
the sewer entrance at University Point was never on any official Bethesda map. i know this. i found it in 1998. the meat showed me. i have said this already and i will keep saying it until someone agrees with me or until i ascend to a state of noncorporeal mathematical perfection and no longer require vindication. either outcome is acceptable.
DISCLAIMER: the Meat Hole is a private medical and research facility. it is not open to visitors. Vault-Tec has no jurisdiction here. the mycelium network has full jurisdiction here. medicinal spider deliveries are available to your door -- contact details on file with Meat Court.
