The flickering screen cast long shadows across my face as Cooper Howard stood before Mr. House, the tension palpable enough to taste. It felt like the moment before a storm, when the air crackles with unseen energy. House, ever the calculating enigma, hinted at a truth far more complex than we initially understood about the cataclysmic bombs.
For a long time, Fallout dangled the idea that Vault-Tec was behind the nuclear devastation, but what if they were merely puppets in a much grander, more sinister play? As season two unfolds, it seems the truth is buried deeper than the vaults themselves.
Cooper Thought House Was Going to Drop the Bombs
Remember that time you misjudged someone completely, only to discover they were working towards the same goal as you? Cooper found himself in a similar situation when confronting Mr. House. He arrived ready to eliminate a perceived threat, believing House was about to trigger the nuclear apocalypse.
Earlier episodes reveal Cooper’s mission: assassinate Mr. House. But House, always several steps ahead, anticipated Cooper’s arrival. This confrontation sparked a revelation. House wasn’t planning the nuclear strike; he was building a defense system to shield Las Vegas.
House claimed Barb was involved in the attack, but not directly responsible for the act itself. He even predicted the bombs would fall on Cooper’s daughter’s birthday. Yet, he couldn’t pinpoint who would ultimately “pull the trigger” on the end of the world. This is where things get interesting. What if the truth is a many-layered onion?
Who is Barb in Fallout?
Barb, seemingly connected to Vault-Tec, emerges as a key player, influencing events but perhaps not controlling them. Her motives remain shrouded, leaving us to wonder about the extent of her influence and the nature of her true agenda. The writers have definitely done a great job keeping us guessing.
If Not House or Vault-Tec, Who Dropped The Bombs in Fallout?
We’ve all experienced that moment when a carefully constructed narrative crumbles, revealing a hidden truth beneath. That’s precisely where we are with Fallout. The obvious culprits, Vault-Tec and Mr. House, might just be elaborate distractions from a far more unsettling reality. Could someone else have orchestrated the entire nuclear fallout?
Initially, Vault-Tec seemed the prime suspect. Then, suspicion shifted to Mr. House. Now, both appear as pawns in a game controlled by a hidden hand. I suspect the Enclave, and here’s why.
Consider Cooper’s assassination attempt. It was orchestrated by individuals within the government, but their specific affiliation remained unclear. What if the Enclave knew House was on the verge of uncovering their scheme? And what if they manipulated Cooper to eliminate House, preempting any defensive measures in Vegas?
But why would the Enclave want to trigger the apocalypse? Perhaps they grew tired of operating from the shadows, yearning for absolute power over the United States, and perhaps the world. This nuclear war could have been their scorched-earth strategy, wiping the slate clean, enabling them to seize control of the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
What is the Enclave in Fallout?
The Enclave, a remnant of the pre-war United States government, represents a faction deeply rooted in control and manipulation. Their advanced technology and ruthless tactics position them as formidable contenders in the struggle for dominance in the Fallout universe. Are they the true masterminds pulling all the strings?
This theory is still just that, of course. But the idea that someone completely different triggered the apocalypse is entirely plausible. The truth is out there, buried in the wasteland. Will the remaining episodes of Fallout season two reveal the true puppet master?
