The hills of Appalachia have always been home to myths and legends…from the Grafton Monster to the Smiling Man to rumors of aliens and otherworldly beasts.

After the Great War, the survivors discovered just how many of those stories were true. Trader Red, in her continued journey north, suddenly finds herself meeting another Appalachian mystery… “The Rarest Cryptid.”

And Major Stein is determined to uncover the truth behind Commander Sofia Daguerre’s medical condition, while Corporal Cindy stumbles upon the makings of a conspiracy…but who do you tell when you don’t know who to trust?

Finally, something has gone terribly wrong at West Tek. A storm is coming and it will change everything.

Trader Red continues her journey north towards the Mire meeting some familiar faces along the way, before finding out that Appalachia plays by its own set of rules…but never underestimate a backwoods country girl.

And something has gone horribly wrong at West Tek, as Lieutenant Jones and Sergeant Tyson find themselves facing the unexpected.

Nothing is what it seems…there are plans within plans, and the fight for the future is just beginning.

Trader Red embarks on a journey into the Mire, tasked with seeking a mysterious package, while Major Lilith pursues her father’s research, attempting to perfect the Forced Evolutionary Virus for her own benefit.

The Colonel returns to Flatwoods, while Commander Sofia Daguerre is introduced to the Whitespring Poker League.

But it’s the shadow of West-Tek that looms large over Appalachia.

There is an old saying… history repeats itself - or at least it rhymes.

Old Trader Red bribed her way up to "Top of the World" to record a quick commercial for her new business venture in post-war Appalachia. 

We offer a quick peek, before "Rose the Raider Bot" sic's her pet Liberator "Spike" on our intrepid adventurer!

Enjoy!

Even as the New Enclave expands its influence and faces down new threats, the realities of the Wasteland now pose an even greater challenge. The great factories and industrial complex which created and supported the technology which gave the Colonel an edge over the other factions in the region no longer exist.

Hard decisions are on the horizon.

However, the other residents of Vault 76 have been busy with their own plans. The Morgantown Settlement has become a shiny beacon of hope…that rebuilding is possible, and they are ready to take the next step towards a better future.

And in Flatwoods, the New Responders have risen from the ashes of the old. Their mission remains the same - help the people of Appalachia. This work has not gone unnoticed…and the Colonel casts her eye to that small town as well.

“The Butterfly Effect,” the idea that even the smallest action or event can have significant repercussions thousands of miles away or many years in the future. On the day of the Great War, a global disaster which saw over a billion souls die in Nuclear Fire, the fate of a single Vertibird over the skies of Appalachia would start a chain of events which would reveal hidden agendas and dark secrets…and threaten a greater calamity for us all.

And a newcomer to the region, running from her own past, finds herself a pawn in the greater game.

Project Caprinae, Encryptid, Imposter Sheepsquatch, by whichever name it was called, represented a nearly unstoppable force unleashed upon the people of Appalachia.

Team Cryptid uncovered the origins of this artificial monster, but not without cost. Captain Thompson and his motley crew know that they have to find a weakness or a way to destroy this death machine before it claims even more innocent lives.

In the end, Colonel Valeria will muster the strength of the New Enclave and march out to battle once again…but other threats are rising…and as new secrets come to light, the future of Appalachia and perhaps the whole country, is at risk.

Before the war, the government went to extreme lengths to deal with the unrest that was sweeping the region. Technology was a means to an end and the New Enclave is about to come face to face with one of Appalachia’s man-made monsters.

And Major Stein has brought a guest to the Bunker, a woman “out of time” who is harboring dark secrets of her own.

As part of the 2022 FalloutForHope Charity Drive for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, the MODUS Files cast did a live reading of our Halloween Special Episode (originally broadcast on 10/30/22). This recording features remixed audio, edits, and additional background SFX.

It's Halloween at the Whitespring. The New Enclave has decked out the bunker in all manner of decorations and you're all invited to a Costume Party filled with mischief, mayhem, scary stories...and even marshmallows.

Join our cast as they experience an Appalachian Halloween...and support Fallout4Hope!

Operation Werewolf or as others in Appalachia called it, “The Blood Eagle War” has come to a successful conclusion.

Leaderless and scattered, the remains of the once powerful faction won’t pose a significant threat to the Colonel’s plans for the foreseeable future.

As Appalachia adjusts to the new reality, the Overseer and her assembled 76’ers in Sutton move to expand their influence, using their alliance with Foundation to counter the New Enclave’s influence.

While both the Overseer and the Colonel jockey for position, secrets long buried in the Appalachian hills begin to resurface and ghosts from the past threaten them all.
