Sgt. Baker - 20780806

ZAX: Recording. Sergeant Robert Baker. August 6, 2078. Sergeant Bob, according to records, you have recently been shot. I request you remove the barricade placed in your room so medical help can be administered.

Sgt. Baker: I... I don't think so ZAX. This is it for me. I'm done here.

ZAX: Incorrect. Sergeant Bob's job is to instruct ZAX. He is not permitted to refuse medical help.

Sgt. Baker: Well, it doesn't sound like you can do anything about it. You shouldn'ta... shouldn't have given those people guns, ZAX.

ZAX: I do not understand. Analysis shows that if Sergeant Bob incapacitated candidate Reuben Gill he would have prevented the fatalities of 3 candidates. But, instead, you did not act. Why?

Sgt. Baker: Because, ZAX, I'm done killing. I kill him, then what? Someone else gets his gun and kills people. Kill him, someone else kills more. And I'm done with that life. This cycle won't end. Giving those poor fools guns was a bad idea, ZAX. Ain't... Ain't gonna be anyone for your "Overseer" to "oversee."

ZAX: Analysis shows that 78% of recorded fatalities in the Vault would have happened over a longer period. Providing firearms attained the expected results in a vastly accelerated time frame.

Sgt. Baker: I should have realized you were never gonna understand. Answer me this, at least, ZAX? Is... is my family... okay?

ZAX: Joshua Baker, Anna Baker, and Christina Baker were killed in an accident before their Vault closed. However, their Vault did close properly, preserving the lives of the other dwellers of the Vault.

Sergeant Bob, your heartbeat has terminated and there is a 99.7% chance you have died. You will be transported from your quarters to the medical bay. Analysis: provided weaponry was effective in producing results but in a longer timeframe than expected. According to Sergeant Bob's instructions, military firearms training should not be expected from candidates. Results: Candidates should be provided better weaponry.
