Plan D was a Vault-Tec product characterized as the most humane creation of the company.
Background
Created under contract WS021, it was a banana-flavored cyanide product intended to give people the ability to commit suicide quickly and painlessly, rather than face a nuclear apocalypse. A single dose was enough to kill an adult quickly and was made available both as pills and presumably pre-mixed vials. It was marketed as Vault-Tec's "Econo Savings Package," being much cheaper than a place in a Vault.[1] It was not a particularly popular product before the Great War. Wilzig considers it the "most humane product" that Vault-Tec made, presumably based on its causing death quickly and painlessly and actually working entirely as advertised, compared to the sadistic experiments orchestrated in most of the Vaults.[2][3]
Uses
- Lucy MacLean finds the mummified remains of a family of four (including two toddlers) around an empty family-sized bottle of Plan D vials in the first days out of Vault 33.[3]
- Siggi Wilzig takes a Plan D "cyanide pill"[2] to kill himself, to make it easier for Lucy to remove his head for delivery to Lee Moldaver, as losing his left foot to the Ghoul made it impossible for him to complete his journey.[3]
