Vault 69/Meeting/End/Dictator

"This situation is just not right for a democratic approach. This is a very serious situation, and we can't risk the future on popular opinion. People rarely know what's best for them. It's sad but true. I may be only ten years old, but I've already seen how stupid people can be . . . especially once you get us in a group. I will run this vault as Overseer. I hope with your advice."

You look at the ladies staring back at you in disbelief. Your mom is furrowing her brow, but both Doctor Romero and Doctor Charbonneau are smiling brightly. Chief Runningdeer is looking at you differently somehow . . . with a measure of respect perhaps? You were worried that you would regret your decision when you made it, but you're feeling pretty good about it, so you decide to move on.

You clear your throat and continue. "Okay, next there was the adaptation of marital relationships. What are your thoughts on the subject?"

"Given that you are the only male in the vault; I think we need to completely abandon the artificial practice of marriage," says Doctor Romero. "Even if we tried to keep the practice, you could not possibly be faithful to your wife. You need to impregnate most, if not all of us to try to keep some measure of genetic diversity even with my modified FEV."

"Now see here!" says your mother, "just because you're some kind of hedonistic deviant is no reason why the rest of us should give up on morality and decency. Tay can provide sperm as a doner for those who want it, and still have a monogamous relationship with a woman when he gets older."

"That is unrealistic in the extreme," says Chief Runningdeer. "I'm fine with you teaching your children to be monogamous, but it should be up to each person whether they want to be monogamous, polygamous, or whatever they want to be in their relationships. You aren't the morality police. You are the security chief. It's not your place to legislate morality."

The ladies argue over the issue for a time, and you come to a decision. "Excuse me ladies," you say, somehow silencing the room once more. "I've come to a decision."

That decision is?

• Only monogamous relationships will be recognized. You will provide sperm to those who want children.
• People will choose their relationships for themselves with you being polygamous. You will provide sperm to those who want children.
• All women will be your wives. This one please --Foreman(talk) 11:30pm, 3 August 2020 EST
