Vault of Potentials



A vault on Earth with the machinery and the TL 12 data bank with all the data needed to make perfect clones of old heroes, inventors, leaders and villains.

In 2106, The Guardian reveals the Vault of Potentials. - United Earth decides to restore all of them.

In 2168, The United Earth Congress considers opening the Vault of Potentials revealed in 2106 by the Guardian and wake / resurrect more historical greats. A night before they decide, an unknown group infiltrated the Vault of Potentials and detonated a nuclear satchel charge in the cave. Everything was completely destroyed. The United Earth Congress feared a foreign power might have stolen the equipment and the data. Phil Decker is asked to investigate. The old cop declares after only six days of investigation that he never came across a more perfect crime and it was unsolvable.[1]







Note

[1] It was Richard Stahl who detonated the nuclear charge. He admitted to it in 5050 and explained his fear that not only the good would be resurrected but the bad as well. He said humanity had all the potential to bring forth new heroes, inventors, leaders and villains. No need to resurrect copies of the old. There was simply too much potential for disaster. Phil Decker called it a perfect crime not because he did not find out who it was (took him 3 days) but he fully agreed with the reasons and that's why it was “perfect”
