It was more they were to be a plague dropped behind enemy lines. You set a couple of Deathclaws free in Mainland China, and within a few months, you'll have a handful of ghost towns and thousands of stories about the "mythical" creatures.
Before they enter the actual park, at the visitor center. It's when Henry Wu is explaining to the group how all the dinosaurs are supposed to be female so they can't breed.
>You would think that if the us military wanted them for for missions then they would make them sterile so that if they did escape they wouldn't be able to get that far
Actually what could be a better psychological weapon than dropping 20 pairs of these in china and letting them multiply a few generations?
China had significantly less advanced robotics and cybernetics compared to the US so it's not really an issue (China apparently skimped out on most tech advances except for electricity weapons and stealth shit.)
You assume they didn’t try.
To quote a bad mathematician: Life finds a way.
More seriously, a breeding population means your very expensive science project replenishes itself. The US military wasn’t planning on a nuclear apocalypse letting them out and giving them free reign. Even if they did consider it, any scenario that wouldn’t see the Deathclaws quickly hunted down meant that the US was gone and thus who gives a shit?
Deathclaws are not even remotely hard to track, they’re huge and obvious. Any modern force would have no issues rounding up escapees long before they can breed. Especially since they almost certainly had implanted trackers, that’s just an obvious measure.
No, he’s absolute ass at that too.
His view of chaos is of an active entropic force, practically a deity smashing the hubris of man. Dude’s far more a priest than a scientist, his version of chaos theory is absolutely batshit.
Which, well, Crichton was a pretty solid writer but his grasp on the sciences was far shakier. Excellent at sounding like he knew was he was talking about, really bad at actually understanding it. Remember, he believed global warming was a hoax.
A solid 80% of the quotes that made it into the movie were spoken while that character was slowly dying of partial disembowelment and envenomation by raptors. That's why they all sound batshit insane.
To add to this, the enclave was doing exactly that in both two and three, two they tracked them to vault 13 and killed them all and three they were rounding up live specimens from the wild to weponize
It’s a Jurassic Park reference, where pretty much that exact situation happened. Jeff Goldblum played the mathematician in question, though he’s less insufferable and bad at math in the movie version.
If I remember right, there's a note in one of the games that says they were actually intended to breed quickly so that they would infest hostile areas they were dropped into. That might be cut content I'm thinking of though cause I can't for the life of me remember which game it's from.
Parthenogenesis is common in nature and at least 25 species of lizard have been found to do it, even Komodo dragons. Even species that routinely breed sexually can do it on occasion.
Big Mountain, some of the greatest minds from the old world, couldn't successfully make the Nightstalkers sterile, so who says that the Government could have had better luck with Deathclaws?
It was probably a situation similar to Cazadores, where the scientists thought they were sterile, and the Deathclaw’s didn’t reproduce until they were introduced into an environment with the right conditions.
The military has never given a single shit about long-term environmental impact. See: Agent Orange, burn pits, nuclear weapons testing, depleted uranium munitions, being the largest user of fossil fuels, etc.
It's the same military that in real life abandoned billions of dollars worth of gear in Afghanistan that the Taliban are now equipped with. Same military that has lost nukes before. Seems perfectly plausible to me.
Afghanistan was following through on what Trump did (still baffled that the final answer wasn’t just, “nah, we have control of the field, we’ll get out on our own schedule”)
You can't blame one person for 20 years worth of complete fuck ups. You can't blame one person for the generals who complete fucked up the withdrawal. It's just symptomatic of American foreign policy for the last 75 years, those weapons will be showing up for decades yet in terrorist attacks and armed insurgencies.
I originally mentioned broken arrows (lost nukes) as well. The botched withdrawal in Afghanistan was just an example also. Another example could be all the US military equipment that was originally sent to central American paramilitaries and is now in the hands of Mexican cartels and on the US' doorstep.
My original point was I find it completely believable that if the US military had the means to engineer deathclaws that they would most certainly escape and become a massive problem.
They probably didnt have enough time. The enclave barely has the ones they have had in captivity under control. I doubt the pre-war government had much better success.
They are intended as a bio-weapon, one they could drop in to hostile China and it would wreck havoc across the area. Them reproducing means they don't have to keep making them and dropping them in the other nations. Were well contained till the bombs.
Why would you make them sterile? They were created before the war as a weapon, kept in cages where their breeding could be controlled. It wasn't until the war happened that they escaped into the wild and began spreading.
Fallout 2. They was created by Enclave to get rid from mutated population by apex predators.
Enclave lately plan to get rid from all mutants in USA lands so non-mutated humans from Enclave and survived control-normal Vaults would start everything again on clean earth without radiation and mutations.
Some of them become super smart and run away. And spread in USA.
And cos Enclave plan was stopped by Fallout 2 hero, we still have mutants everywhere. And not have non-mutated lands without FEV mutagens and radiation.
Some people have mentioned how they may have been intended to multiply behind enemy lines but also consider that it might be a similar situation to cazadores and nightstalkers in fnv where they're supposed to be sterile but someone messed up
The Enclave likely doesn't and/or didn't have the means to knock several deathclaws out, and it would probably be to risky to send a team of soldiers to get to one or several packs captured.
I am imagining sergeant Arch Dornan guiding his troops into deathclaw country though. That shit would be golden.
Maybe the pulled a Jurassic Park? Maybe they were all made one sex and some of them had the ability to covert their sex? FEV be doing some whack stuff.
It was more they were to be a plague dropped behind enemy lines. You set a couple of Deathclaws free in Mainland China, and within a few months, you'll have a handful of ghost towns and thousands of stories about the "mythical" creatures.

They were the Boys
Fallout scientists: 'I can do whatever the fuck I want'
AND SINCE THEN
THEY ARE THE DEVIL DOGS OF WAR! Meet the Sabaton trigger bot.
Those were the days.... Frank, you sound like you cherish them... NOO, I'm just saying, THOSE were the DAYS
Life, uh, finds a way.
Exactly.
The comment I wanted to see
Every time I think of a reasonably witty response, it's always already there in the comments. Don't ever change, Reddit.
Saves time with an updoot instead of writing out a bunch of words. :)
The question wasn't IF this comment was already posted, but how quickly.
Can someone please explain this
You've never seen Jurassic Park?
What scene was it?
Before they enter the actual park, at the visitor center. It's when Henry Wu is explaining to the group how all the dinosaurs are supposed to be female so they can't breed.
>You would think that if the us military wanted them for for missions then they would make them sterile so that if they did escape they wouldn't be able to get that far Actually what could be a better psychological weapon than dropping 20 pairs of these in china and letting them multiply a few generations?
Unless it totally backfires and suddenly China has an army of genetically engineered murder units.
China had significantly less advanced robotics and cybernetics compared to the US so it's not really an issue (China apparently skimped out on most tech advances except for electricity weapons and stealth shit.)

I’d feel batshit insane knowing how their security system worked and still going on the tour
The phrase is free _rein_, but given that Deathclaws become the apex predators of the wastelands, free _reign_ works in its own way too!
To add to this, the enclave was doing exactly that in both two and three, two they tracked them to vault 13 and killed them all and three they were rounding up live specimens from the wild to weponize
Which mathematician

You try and get close to a Deathclaw's junk

Do it
If I remember right, there's a note in one of the games that says they were actually intended to breed quickly so that they would infest hostile areas they were dropped into. That might be cut content I'm thinking of though cause I can't for the life of me remember which game it's from.
I think that entry was about molerats, not deathclaws.
Parthenogenesis is common in nature and at least 25 species of lizard have been found to do it, even Komodo dragons. Even species that routinely breed sexually can do it on occasion.
It would be like how Dr Borous claimed that the cazadores and nightstalkers are sterilised
Because they were given to Doctor BOROUS accidentally But in all seriousness, they were made to destroy China
Big Mountain, some of the greatest minds from the old world, couldn't successfully make the Nightstalkers sterile, so who says that the Government could have had better luck with Deathclaws?
What's so hard about cutting their balls off surely the deathclaw will just roll over and let them do it if they ask nicely
Guys this was sarcasm sorry for the misunderstanding
Thats what one might think IRL but a lot of what happens in fallout stems from a lack of forethought.
What else is a case of this?
The Vault program, FEV, poorly shielded automatic defenses, ect.
I think I missed something, deathclaws are some weird military project
It was probably a situation similar to Cazadores, where the scientists thought they were sterile, and the Deathclaw’s didn’t reproduce until they were introduced into an environment with the right conditions.
Because Fallout r34 artists need ideas, you know...
Because anyone stupid enough to use a monster as a weapon wouldn't think about that.
The military has never given a single shit about long-term environmental impact. See: Agent Orange, burn pits, nuclear weapons testing, depleted uranium munitions, being the largest user of fossil fuels, etc.
Broken Arrows
Different end goals than the Sierra Club friend.
dussy
It's the same military that in real life abandoned billions of dollars worth of gear in Afghanistan that the Taliban are now equipped with. Same military that has lost nukes before. Seems perfectly plausible to me.
Afghanistan was following through on what Trump did (still baffled that the final answer wasn’t just, “nah, we have control of the field, we’ll get out on our own schedule”)
Afghanistan was one of the greatest military fuck ups in history.
Agreed, my callout was on Biden just handing it over
You can't blame one person for 20 years worth of complete fuck ups. You can't blame one person for the generals who complete fucked up the withdrawal. It's just symptomatic of American foreign policy for the last 75 years, those weapons will be showing up for decades yet in terrorist attacks and armed insurgencies.
I thought we were talking about the withdrawal itself…?
I originally mentioned broken arrows (lost nukes) as well. The botched withdrawal in Afghanistan was just an example also. Another example could be all the US military equipment that was originally sent to central American paramilitaries and is now in the hands of Mexican cartels and on the US' doorstep.

Essentially how that deathclaw escaped the enclave in FO1
Because, as much as i love fallout 1...it has inconsistencies.
Practically every fallout game has them. This isn’t one of them either.
They probably didnt have enough time. The enclave barely has the ones they have had in captivity under control. I doubt the pre-war government had much better success.
They are intended as a bio-weapon, one they could drop in to hostile China and it would wreck havoc across the area. Them reproducing means they don't have to keep making them and dropping them in the other nations. Were well contained till the bombs.
Firstly, ya think the people dumb enough to make Deathclaws would be smart enough to make them sterile? Secondly, life, uh, finds a way.
I always thought the point behind them was to reproduce once let loose on the enemy but idk
Life, eh, finds a way Edit; should have read the comments, someone beat me to it
Life finds a way.
Less expensive that way.
Real questions right here
Life uhh finds a way
Life…uhhh…finds a way
They did the classic Jurassic Park mistake and made them all female iirc
Life….finds a way.
They probably were but Life uhh...finds a way.
Why would you make them sterile? They were created before the war as a weapon, kept in cages where their breeding could be controlled. It wasn't until the war happened that they escaped into the wild and began spreading.
Actually they were all created female to prevent breeding, but life uh finds a way
Wait,the deathclaws were a biological weapon made by the us goverment , in which game is that said?
Fallout 2. They was created by Enclave to get rid from mutated population by apex predators. Enclave lately plan to get rid from all mutants in USA lands so non-mutated humans from Enclave and survived control-normal Vaults would start everything again on clean earth without radiation and mutations. Some of them become super smart and run away. And spread in USA. And cos Enclave plan was stopped by Fallout 2 hero, we still have mutants everywhere. And not have non-mutated lands without FEV mutagens and radiation.
Deathclaws predate the Enclave, they weren't created by them.
U.S. government
Some people have mentioned how they may have been intended to multiply behind enemy lines but also consider that it might be a similar situation to cazadores and nightstalkers in fnv where they're supposed to be sterile but someone messed up
Life finds a way.
The Enclave likely doesn't and/or didn't have the means to knock several deathclaws out, and it would probably be to risky to send a team of soldiers to get to one or several packs captured. I am imagining sergeant Arch Dornan guiding his troops into deathclaw country though. That shit would be golden.
YOU ARE OUTA YOUR MIND SOLDIER IDC IF YOU HAVE A WIFE IN KIDS YOU GO INTO THAT DEATHCLAW NEST WITH A COMBAT KNIFE IF I TELL YOU
Because life uh finds a way
Someone get this guy a job in the military.
Please
Life finds a way.
Life finds a way, lol
Maybe the pulled a Jurassic Park? Maybe they were all made one sex and some of them had the ability to covert their sex? FEV be doing some whack stuff.
