When the residents of Vault 76 stepped foot onto the soil of Appalachia on October 23rd, 2102, they expected to begin the process of rebuilding a new world out of the ashes of the old.

Instead, they found themselves engulfed in a cycle of violence against unspeakable horrors and unimaginable threats. Just as the original survivors of Appalachia made their last stand against the Scorched, the residents of Vault Town and the remaining members of the factions of the region face their own final battle.

The PACT is nearly ready to launch their plague-ridden missiles, to forever change the course of human history, while MODUS prepares his own plans to help craft a future encased in metal.

In the face of the onrushing tide, the survivors find a moment of peace in the calm before the storm as they cling to some small measure of hope, even as they prepare for what could be the end for them all.

The Colonel prepares for one final mission, while Stein and SODUS plot their revenge against MODUS.

Desperate times require desperate measures…and Appalachia will not go gently into that good night, instead raging against the dying of the light.

Dr. Lucius Alistair once fancied himself a god among men. In his hands, the Forced Evolutionary Virus allowed him to reshape the human genome into his own twisted vision of perfection.

Before his experiments in Vault 76, before Lilith…Lucius left a secret legacy deep within the walls of the Eastern Regional Penitentiary. Long thought lost, Site C could contain a treasure trove of research and could be the key to unlocking FEV’s full potential.

Lilith and her team prepare to investigate the old prison, so she can claim her legacy…but the PACT is hot on their trail, eager to claim those secrets for themselves.

In an epic confrontation behind the old prison walls, Lilith will face off against her fiercest opponent even as Appalachia begins tearing itself about around them.

Far to the South, Trader Red and her band of survivors find themselves trapped by the Oni…a desperate message was sent to Vault Town and help is on the way, but will it arrive on time?

The final tales of Appalachia are being told…and the future is still uncertain.

Before the bombs dropped, the Enclave spread its tendrils across Appalachia, co-opting regional military facilities for their own use. When President Eckhart assumed control of the Whitespring, he expanded the faction’s research facilities to further his plan to end the war with China once and for all…a plan that ended in ruin.

Stein now leads Valeria and a hand-picked team to one such facility, only known as Site J, to scour it for weapons and armor…and more importantly, a potential ally against the PACT and MODUS.

However, the enemy of my enemy isn’t always a friend…and long lost secrets can come with a heavy price.

Meanwhile, Lilith and her own team start their trek to unlock her father’s secrets underneath the Eastern Regional Penitentiary…with the PACT close on their heels.

And Trader Red and company try to contact Vault Town, only to find that they may have gone from the frying pan into the fire.

With the arrival of the Colonel and her band of New Enclave survivors, the remaining factions of Appalachia have regrouped at Vault Town. Facing nearly impossible odds, they’ll have to pool their resources if they stand any chance at all against what’s coming.

Amidst the chaos, Stein and Sofia find their moment of happiness…for whatever time they have…a light against the darkness.

Trader Red still has a few loose ends to tie up at Big Bend and soon finds that Appalachia isn’t quite done with her yet. While inside the PACT, the Council has a confrontation of its own…where the past and future are on a collision course.

Despite the rising threat, not everyone sees Valeria as a shining beacon of hope…and a single act could change everything.

The lights have gone out all over Appalachia…just a few settlements remain as the PACT and MODUS stretch out their hands to crush any resistance to their plans.

Foundation faces its final reckoning, even as Ward’s desperate plan to ensure the safety of its civilians is put into action, while the Colonel finally arrives at Vault Town, on the wings of a stolen PACT Vertibird.

The remaining factions of Appalachia look to Valeria for answers and a plan to fight back against the rising darkness…but it may already be too late.

Trader Red finds herself back at Big Bend Tunnel as her story comes full circle…and Vinny Costas may learn the hell hath no fury like a Crytpid scorned.

Appalachia is descending into darkness and time is running out…but hope still remains, however slight…that the best laid plans of mice and men could still be turned aside.

We present a very special episode in a new short series called “Behind the Characters.” Over the three seasons of The MODUS Files, we have had the distinct honor to work with a group of amazing voice actors who have brought our characters to life.

This is an opportunity to hear directly from our cast as they introduce themselves, the characters they play, and their thoughts about our journey through post-apocalyptic West Virginia.

In this episode, we’ll hear from the Colonel herself, Valeria Faustina, played by Pandora Beatrix, our very Voice of MODUS, Brad Williams, and Private Douglas, voiced by Eric Gold.

Each of these wonderful voice actors have also played many other characters as our story has progressed, and they’ll touch on several of them as well.

So please enjoy another peek behind the bunker, as we learn more about our cast here on The MODUS Files. 

MODUS has discovered the location of the New Enclave survivors and the AI hates loose ends…and it will do whatever is required to eliminate them.

Frederick Rivers has one last card to play to help Valeria and the others escape, but at a terrible cost.

The PACT begins their next phase of Operation Keystone…and Vertibirds return to the air above Appalachia, spreading their deadly cargo…while unleashing their Oni on the unsuspecting populace below.

At Foundation, surrounded by Super Mutants, Trader Red discovers unlikely allies to aid in her quest for revenge, while Vinny tries to salvage his own plans for the Blue Ridge Caravan.

And Valeria discovers that Uncommon Valor is more common than it seems, as desperate times demand desperate sacrifices.

Against all odds, the desperate plan to rescue the Colonel succeeded, and Major Stein escaped MODUS’ control…although not without cost.

As the survivors regroup at Riverside Manor, they have to come to terms with what has happened…and how they were manipulated since the beginning.

Trader Red has a reunion of her own…finally confronting Cyrus and Violet in her quest to find Antlers, while Team Cryptic and the Brotherhood of Steel regroup at Vault Town as the PACT advances their own plans to eliminate all who oppose them.

At Big Bend Tunnel, Vinny Costas finds his own plans in jeopardy as the PACT comes calling…and while MODUS was dealt a setback to its plans…it will stop at nothing to eliminate its vulnerabilities…and human failings…at any cost…and all assets are…expendable.

Our survivors converge on the Whitespring, with a desperate plan to rescue the Colonel. With the odds stacked against them, the future of Appalachia hangs in the balance.

Meanwhile, Red and Cherry are closing in on their quarry in their mission to rescue Antlers. Cyrus and Violet will discover just how high a price there is to be paid when you cross a girl from the Tennessee Hills.

And back in the Mire, Abigayle Singh returns home. With the region once again in danger, the last of the Free Staters gets another chance to turn the tide.

The Colonel, bloody and battered, returns to the Whitespring, discovering that MODUS has indeed been busy during her long absence with plans of his own.
While Stein arrives at the PACT as MODUS’ representative…to negotiate an alliance and a place in the new future they plan to bring about, only to find himself confronted with his own past.

Deep in the Savage Divide, Trader Red and her companions continue their trek south, but little do they realize that a wolf in sheep’s clothing walks beside them…and what dangers now await them.

And across Appalachia, separate factions begin to gather their resources and take actions of their own against a growing storm.

Against growing odds, the region prepares for war.
