I was thinking about something.If u die in vault,where are they going to bury u?They say none ever enters,none ever leaves so burying u outside is not a option imo.In vault 101 i didnt see any earth or chambers for dead ones.Mb they just cook u and server next few days for luch?Feel free to post ur opinions and if someone knows what do they really do(from previous games).

There's probably a designated area for bodies. I doubt they are eaten...

incinerator

The quote that the one woman reads to you dosen't say something about how the flam free's your soul?
Probaley incineration, this makes sense cause it leaves the least amount of remains.

Soylent green?

They burn the bodies. Thought it was kind of obvious...

Where do you think vault meat comes from?

Cremation would be the easiest way I can think of disposing the of the bodies. Only problem I see with that would be the oxygen consumption, but that raises a whole other problem of ventilation for an underground bunker in a nuclear wasteland :shrug:

SCIENCE!

incinerator

my thoughts exactly

btw they would prob have filters to filter in air from the outside to the guy who mentioned oxygen consumption

Soylent green?

That's what I was gonna say!

They are taken for protein re-sequencing! it's too valuable resource to waste!

Also the contents of the toilets go straight to the protein re-sequencers when they are flushed!

read the birthday poem note...

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 2:06 am

They are processed into birthday cake, which is why Andy has so much trouble cutting it. Ever tried to make a cake out of reprocessed vault residents? It ain't pretty.

Corpses are probably recycled in some fashion. Maybe served up as food, or processed into fertilizer in a hydroponics greenhouse, or what have you.

They aren't incenerated, it's not feasable. In such a closed environment as a vault, everything would have to be reused in some form or another.

If you kill the Overseer when escaping from Vault 101, then talk to Amata at the door, she specifically says that she has to bury him.

Yet the birthday poem you get on your 10th birthday says that eventually you'll be incinerated.

I think it's safe to say that the developers just didn't think this part through properly.

they put strings on them and do puppet shows

He is the Overseer though, he could get special treatment.

Realistically, they're recycled though.

Considering the lack of pretty much everything in a closed environment such as a vault you'd recycle the remains and use the biomass to grow food for the vault population.
Human ingenuity would probably come up with a hundred and one uses for the bodies, but morality and ethics wouldn't play ball.
Cremation seems unlikely - it's a waste of biomass, a waste of fuell and you'd still end up with ashes & bits of bone to get rid off.

Dirt, bones are crushed, make it all dirt, for your potted plants.

Even if it wasn't standerd practice in any of the other Vaults I'm sure Vault 101's Overseer (Bastard) would not let those bodies go to waste. Just look at the way he treated Amata.

I doubt the remains would go to waste in any of the vaults. It's a resource, and in the vault every resource would have to be renewable somehow.

Well, Vault 15, 8, 12, and other vaults that opened early, or after the planned 10 years might be the exception. Realistically though, for a vault to operate successfully, it would have to be completely self contained, and that means recycling/reusing of EVERYTHING.

Actually, they probably generate oxygen from the plants in their hydroponics bay and/or cracking water (of which they have a 900+ year supply).
Bodies are incinerated, as mentioned in the birthday poem.
