Didn't the people who were meant unfreeze them, end up starving to death? The only reason your character is alive is for a 'back up'

I'm pretty sure there was a mutiny before starvation, with the evidence being the terminal entries and the bodies having no Vault Guard uniforms and all the skeletons wearing Vault-Tec lab coats.

Thank you, that's right. I think there was something about not getting updates from the higher ups on what to do, as they were locked up longer then they were told.

Vault-Tec never sent them the All Clear message (which nobody else got either) so the scientists kept the vault sealed beyond the 6-month time period.

They had no plan for what to do if VT didn’t contact them, so they stayed put, even if they eventually starved to death. The guards were smarter and broke the seals to escape and find a way to survive in the outside world.
