Resource Vault

The Resource Vault is used for storing salvaged alien materials.

Overview
During the course of XCOM's operations, the organisation frequently recovered useful alien materials for their own use. Most of the storage space is allocated for alien alloy, due to its lightweight consistency and high strength. Two additional sub-vaults are also present: one for Elerium and one for Meld. Only authorised personnel can access these areas, not only preventing theft of these resources but also keeps them contained for safety reasons; Elerium is a very high energy element and potentially unstable while Meld's ability to fuse items on the nanoscopic level could be disastrous if activated spontaneously.
