I’m also pretty sure that the experiment involves seeing the reaction of Vault 98 to finding that they were going to be experimented on. In that context I’m not really that big on some of NUKE’s suggestions because it doesn’t make any sense to seed that - like, the only reaction that makes sense to some of these is just “wow those guys are kind of assholes”. I don’t know, frankly, where you get the idea that the red herring is supposed to be a “bad experiment” - having read the list of vaults from the games made me realize that several (albeit not all) of the sillier vaults, like the Gary vault, are only actually that way because Vault-Tec fucked up their implementation, not because they just went “I’m so random lol”. Setting up the red herring as completely silly and irrelevant therefore actually doesn’t make much sense within the remote observation context for Vault-Tec. You need to keep in mind that most of these vaults were explicitly designed to test high-handed concepts, it’s just that they keep getting fucked up because of course they do.

Quote from: They're Out To Get You, Man
The data uncovered by the survivors of Vault 98 indicates that the planned experiment was to slowly spread rumors among the vault, rumors indicating that a secret conspiracy hidden deep within the denizens of the Vault is hoarding significant resources, enough resources to increase the quality of life of the denizens by a fair margin. The rumors would then stoke the citizens of the Vault into believing that this conspiracy is both hoarding all of this to live in utter luxury and get rid of the other denizens, considered beneath them, and the experiment was evidently intended to see how much this conspiracy stuck and how much conflict it caused.

However, despite all of this being discovered among the documentation, the documentation never at any point directly says that the conspiracy doesn't actually exist.

"Don't really have the time for this shit." Yuki tackling her out of the way of the previous attack was helpful, but it wasn't really like she had time to sit around and twiddle her thumbs and hope to get protected here - she had to make sure the chaos down there didn't kill the VIP. So, without hesitating, Faith just blew the tomatoes on the side near the balcony prematurely, and then used her magic manipulation to push the explosion out entirely away from her. She followed hot on that explosion's heels, moving towards the presumably ruined railing of the balcony, getting faster, getting faster, and-

Faith leapt at high speed, her sights set on the remaining squad of Hunters that was not currently basically completely fucked, taking full advantage of her Awakened mobility to aim to get right above them before: "Get out of here!" A blast of purple-pink energy erupted from her feet to spread as a cone into the enemy squad, the diminished propulsion less capable of blasting her back through the sky and more just slowing or stopping her fall.

Faith uses magic manipulation to blow some of the tomatoes early and manipulate their explosion outwards, and then takes a running leap off of the balcony, stopping her fall by hitting as much of Hunter Squad C as she can manage with a Frightful Flight!

Navin, Hibiki
Fable's handshake in comparison was surprisingly gentle despite their little display of strength much earlier. "Oho? Other Riders? Really now? Mhasalkar, you do realize that the chances of our worlds sharing the same overly specific concept; right down to the name itself is almost infinitesimal don't you?" Fable lets their hand slowly slide out of Navin's grasp as they take a couple of steps back towards the wall, "Ahhh, but really, that little bit of awkwardness alone is almost enough to make me believe that you're human, almost."

Navin winces at the terribly awkward disengage from the handshake - he didn't need to be fantastic at social interactions to pick up on a bit of awkwardness like that, that was for sure. He scratched the back of his head a bit. "Yes, err... it is likely not a coincidence. This does not appear to be the case for everyone, as the worlds of some here seem to have no relation whatsoever to it, but quite a few worlds do seem to have an Earth. These worlds, however, are different enough to likely not just be alternate timelines. I will admit I am not quite sure why Earth is such a central shared point, but I do hail from India on my Earth - Flame of Maharashtra, and all that - and there is also a Japan."

Navin, Hibiki

Navin took Hibiki's invitation for a handshake, revealing strength that was powerful but within human bounds. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Kamen Rider Fable. Believe it or not, you are not the first person I have met to call themselves a Kamen Rider - I have worked with Japanese heroes who took similar monikers." Of course, there was interplay with fictional characters there, but considering that Navin's best friend was a Bollywood actor that took his most famous role for his crimefighting, Navin couldn't judge. "As for my title, people sometimes call me the Flame of Maharashtra." He paused and then his expression turned a bit sheepish. "I remain unsure how to feel about that, though - it is nationalist posturing, to a large degree. I usually just have people call me by my name - Navin Mhasalkar."

There was a brief pause of contemplation. "I will repeat that I am willing to demonstrate my abilities to provide some proof, but I am also willing to describe my world in some detail, if the concern is that I am taking from your memories. I am sure there are many aspects of my particular world that you would be unfamiliar. If not that... mm, well, if you simply stay with us until we embark on our next missions, they will prove it on their own."

Navin, Hibiki

Navin crossed his legs, leaning against a wall. "To tell you the blunt truth, I have absolutely no guarantee that we are going to win. Owing to the scale of the conflict involved, we only have the opportunity to see very small slices of the war in which we are participating. However, I do know that we are but one part of what is likely a much, much larger effort, and we have had successes in driving Trespassers out of worlds before. These world had not yet become full battlegrounds, but our ability to even score the victories we have is reassuring. I also have personal reasons to have faith in the efforts of people to fight against apocalypse." He stood up straighter and looked at Hibiki. "It was not a difficult choice to fight this fight, however. Everything I have ever fought to defend is a part of that which I fight to defend now, along with untold billions of other innocent lives. I do not know exactly what your own motivations are, obviously, but once your skepticism fades I will not be surprised if you come to a similar conclusion."

"That was SHEF?! What the hell, dude, when did you start being able to do that?! That was-" Faith paused briefly to, with a wave of her hand, detonate the magic failsafes that she'd torn off of Hanzo, ideally blowing the enemies around it to little magical smithereens - that'd be a good way to start the battle. "Actually, it did save the mission, so I can't be too mad at it." Faith sighed briefly, and then her face grew grim and serious as she looked out at their enemies - she didn't know what the hell was going on with Yuki and speaking French, but there was a lot to deal with anyway. "Gotta get some of these assholes gone - let's see how they like a little bit of THIS!" Faith wound up like a (poor) baseball pitcher, and...

A purple and pink convulsing ball of volatile energy flew off of the balcony and was guided dead into the middle of one of the squads of Hunters, where it promptly exploded, Faith using both hands and full focus in order to ensure the blast didn't go anywhere beyond exactly where it was supposed to.

Faith detonates the magical failsafes and then whirls before yeeting an irradiated Furious Fire right into Hunter Squad B (blowing a Resolve as this is a Resolve Hyper!) Alteration to a 6!

Navin sighed at her rather pointed behavior... well, this really was going to be more difficult than the last two had been. "I am not, in fact, reading your mind. My superpower is to create explosions from my hands, not to read minds. I have known telepaths before, both as allies and as enemies, but I am not one of them." Navin crossed his arms and looked at the masked figure, trying to radiate firmness even as he actually found the whole situation really just extraordinarily awkward. "Listen, whatever situation you think you are in right now, you are not. I promise you that the situation you are dealing with is not one of your universe, as strong a claim as that might be."

"You have been taken from your world by a multiversal force in order to deal with an overpowering threat to the multiverse, and have been gathered with many different people from many different universes with many different powers in order to combat it. If there is further clarification you need, or some sort of proof that I am not reading your mind and am not lying, I will try my best to provide it."
