The Vault
"The trust was established before you arrived. You are now subject to the terms."
The Trustee established the parameters; The Chairman operates within them; Sterling reads whether the operations match; Penny confirms the arithmetic; Mort calculates the probability of the intended outcome; Cash executes when the outcome is final.
