 The **Vault Terminal** is a [[:mainframe device]] found in the Vault room. If hacked and accessed by an [[:agent]] on an adjacent tile, it unlocks the [[#Deposit Boxes]], allowing them to be looted. However, hacking the Vault Terminal also triggers the corporation's [[#security response]].

 Vault rooms can contain some decor objects which are visually similar to chests of Deposit Boxes; they are purely decorative and should not be confused for Deposit Boxes.
 ===== Research Experiments ======

 **Research Experiments** are [[:items:]] which can be looted from [[:mainframe devices:Secure Cases]] in the Vault room. There is a reward of 500 [[:credits]] for each Research Experiment carried out of the mission; to receive the reward, it must be carried by an [[:agent]], not left on the floor in the exit teleporter. Research Experiments have no other use, and cannot be sold at a [[:mainframe devices:Nanofabricator]] during a mission.

 ===== Security response =====
+> //You've got the goods, now don't dally. They're sending someone to investigate the security breach.// \\ ---[[:agents:Central]]
 In response to the agency hacking either the Vault Terminal or a Secure Case, the corporation //usually// brings in reinforcements --- an [[:guards:Enforcer]] spawns at a random [[:facility#guard entrances|guard entrance]], and is [[:guard behaviour#interest point|sent towards]] the hacked device. The security response happens at most once in the mission; once it has been triggered, hacking more devices does not bring more Enforcers.
-The response is not //always// triggered by hacking one of these devices. Specifically, the Enforcer spawns when you hack the Vault Terminal or a Secure Case using a [[:programs:breaker]] program which breaks the [[:firewalls]] immediately, and which breaks the exact number of firewalls the device has when the program is used. This means the Enforcer does not spawn if you:

This means the Enforcer does not spawn if you:
   * Use an [[:items:EMP Pack]], [[:agents:Dr. Xu]]'s [[:augments:Subdermal Tools]], or the program [[:programs:Fool]] to disable the Secure Cases.
   * Hack using [[:items:Buster Chips]] or the [[:items:Prototype Chip]].
   * Hack using a program which breaks more firewalls than the devices have when the program is used.
+  * Hack using [[:programs:Data Blast]], which does not target //one specific// device, even if only one device is in its area of effect.
   * Hack using [[:programs:Parasite]] or [[:programs:Parasite 2.0]], which do not //immediately// break firewalls.
+The security response is never triggered by hacking the [[:mainframe devices:Power Supply]] or [[:mainframe devices:Sound Bugs]] protecting the Vault room.
