Help me remember who knew Vault-tec was behind it all along?

[Fatalmasterpiece]

Alright I'm quite certain I didn't dream this or make it up but for some reason I cannot remember for the life of me WHERE or if it was in FO3 or 4...

At some point you can find a skeleton in a hotel or old room and some pre-war information, either in the form of a note, holotape or computer entry which explains how the dead body is that of a person who became aware of Vault-tec's plan to start the war. They knew Vault-tec and the Enclave wanted to then use the information from the vault experiments to plan a space mission. Or at least they knew that Vault-tec wasn't building safe vaults and instead it was all a ruse to experiment on live subjects. This person was either a Vault-tec employee or military personal. Somehow they died before they could send a warning; either the bombs fell first or they were assassinated.

Does anyone else remember something like this or am I crazy?

There's a YouTube video which goes through and assembles evidence from the entire game series. And the bomb in the middle of the the town in Fallout 3 apparently has a faded Vault-Tec logo on it. But it's just a theory. I don't think there is any note that states any of that definitively.

 

Also, from the wiki:

 

Within the abandoned script of the canceled Fallout movie, neither China, India, nor even North Korea launched the first bomb. It was in fact the creator of the Vault-Tec Vaults, who launched the first bomb to fulfill his own prophecy of nuclear Armageddon.[Non-canon 6]

There's still just a lot of speculation.

The bomb in Megaton doesn't have a Vault-Tec logo on it, it just looks similar

Also the Zetans claim to have done it (Mothership Zeta)

I haven't played 3 or NV so I'll have to take your word for it lol I've got both, just never gotten past the horrible graphics long enough to get into the stories.
