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.

In collaboration with the CHAD Podcast, we were selected to provide an episode for a new Anthology Series, "Frontier: Stories from Starfield"Here is ours....As mankind spread itself to the stars, it was impossible to leave behind the worst aspects of human nature. Nowhere is that more in evidence than on the water planet of Volii Alpha, home to Neon…the city of Lights.Once a mere fishing platform built by the Xenofresh Corporation, the floating city is now home to the largest tourist attraction and trading hub in all of the Settled Systems. The lifeblood of the city is Aurora, a powerful narcotic, illegal everywhere but right here.Beneath the glitz and glamour, carefully orchestrated corruption rules the city streets. Neon Security keeps the gangs in check, while maintaining the peace…and everyone gets paid. But when a new player arrives in town, upsetting the balance of power, a war breaks out in the shadows…When the chips are down and the knives come out, knowing who to trust is the difference between life and death. Welcome to Neon…

Hello members, welcome to our 2024 Christmas special! While we may not all celebrate the same holiday, we all agree that our little Enclave brings us joy, no matter the time of year. This time, we take a break from our established characters and present to you our very special adaptation of an old classic that we call "A Christmas Carole"

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. 

We present another 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 two extremely prolific voice actors, responsible for some of the most iconic characters of the series thus far. Krissi Williams, the voice of Trader Red, among many others, and Chris Smith, who is both known as the Mel Blanc & Sean Bean of our show. So please enjoy an intimate conversation with these two wonderful Voice Actors and take another peek behind the bunker, as we learn more about our cast here on The MODUS Files. 

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.

Greetings, members, as always, I am the Operative, your tour gui- HAHAHA, actually, it's me, Chris! Welcome to our 2024 Halloween special. If you're wondering where the Operative is, he'll be here shortly. In the meantime, join us for this special episode where some of our characters learn that solving a killing can really be murder. And sometimes... it can be hard to get a clue

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.

After arriving in Appalachia, the Brotherhood of Steel tried to make sense of the chaos engulfing the region.  With the discovery of the PACT and the detonation of a nuclear weapon at the Nuka Cola Plant, Knight Shin heads south to investigate the Whitespring, at the Overseer's urging, leaving Fort Atlas vulnerable. Little do they know that a traitor has infiltrated their ranks…and war descends upon them. Major Stein begins to confront his own demons, deep within his subconscious, while Vinny Costas has plans for the future of the Blue Ridge Caravan. Red and Cherry continue their quest to free Antlers, Amanda and Cindy attempt to persuade Rose the RaiderBot to help their cause, while Jones and Abbie head back into the Mire. And the remnants of the New Enclave are reunited at Riverside Manor…with an eye towards the Whitespring, and a daring rescue attempt. The fate of Appalachia hangs in the balance.

Greetings, members, as always I am the Operative, your designated host and tour guide here at the Whitespring. We know you love our world and its story, but today, we thought we would… fool around, if you will. There are many what-ifs and different scenarios across the multiverse to experience.  Today, we take a look at one of those worlds where things are a little different than you're used to. A world we don't need to cross an ocean, or eleven, to get to. Today, we visit the world of: Stein's Nine.

An alliance between MODUS and the PACT is now a reality and Project ONI moves ever closer to completion. Colonel Valeria spends her days locked in a cell, while the scattered remnants of the New Enclave and the factions of Appalachia struggle against the rising threats. But even as the odds against them grow by the day, our survivors begin to reconnect and uncover vital clues and new information which may yet help turn the tide. However, MODUS isn't finished with his own plans for Appalachia…not by a long shot…and his next move will strike fear into the heart of the region's survivors and shake the foundations of everything they'd built.

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. 

With the release of Amazon's Fallout TV Series, the cast and fans of the MODUS Files got together for watch episode one. Take a listen to our thoughts, feelings, and the chaos that occurs when you get a great community of people together to watch the debut of live-action Fallout! Enjoy! Audio Editing: Jessica Star

The revelations of the PACT have changed everything we thought we knew about Appalachia. Each faction has a piece of the puzzle, but they remain scattered and without a means to coordinate. Defeat may be inevitable, but the human spirit still endures and hope remains. However, in the mountains of Appalachia, there are still battles to be fought…nothing is certain…and you never know who is the hunter…and who is the hunted.

Throughout the years, the history of Monongah has been one of hopes and tragedies. A curse seemed to linger over the town and the mines which sustained the residents…one which seemed to envelop the whole area after the Great War. Earle Williams had never forgotten the promise of wealth, nor his desire to return home to Monongah someday. After convincing a group of like-minded members of Foundation, Earle would lead them into the depths of the mine in search of their fortune…and instead, they would find themselves victims of horrifying experimentation. Team Cryptid follows in Earle's footsteps and soon discovers there are some secrets that should stay buried.

The ground beneath our feet is shifting. Just who are the PACT and why do they want the Colonel? In a forgotten Vault, Valeria will discover a grand conspiracy which has guided the course of human history for decades, pitting nations against each other to achieve their own ends. The greatest threat to humanity stands revealed and the Colonel will face the hardest decision of her young life.  The final stories of Appalachia are being told…and war, war never changes.

The pieces are moving across the chessboard that is Appalachia. The Brotherhood of Steel and the Overseer may be putting themselves on a collision course with the Whitespring, without understanding the true threats facing them all. The Colonel must lead her band of survivors back to the Whitespring, putting their lives in the hands of their new allies, the Mole Miners… but now she walks a treacherous path with an uncertain future. Team Cryptid finds itself facing an even greater danger deep within the mines of Monongah, while the residents of Vault Town discover unlikely allies on their doorstep. While Trader Red and her companions continue their hike south, hunters are now hot on the trail of the rarest cryptid… but who is the predator and who is the prey?

Isolated from the Whitespring, the Colonel faces difficult choices and few options as her world has been turned upside down. Vinny Costas sets his sights on Appalachia's rarest Cryptid, while Lilith and Shadow cross swords… an unstoppable force meeting the immovable object, over the fate of our star-crossed Astronaut. Team Cryptid descends into the depths of the Monongah Mine, not knowing what horrors they might find lurking in the darkness. And Trader Red comes face to face with the Cult of the Mothman. The final tales of post-war Appalachia are just beginning to be told and our characters have hard roads ahead.

Today we have a very special cross-promotional episode, in support of Frontier: Stories from Starfield. This new Podcast anthology follows multiple writers and creators as they weave tales of space adventures, cosmic horrors, and the down to earth trials and tribulations of humanity making its way through Settled Space. This anthology can be found on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever else you access your favorite podcasts. Keep an ear out for our own episode, Neon - a space noir tale that delves into the darker sides of human nature. But first, we are pleased to introduce this very special episode - “Voice in the Field” by Bryan Bachman. Weapons of war come at the cost of those who'll do the building. Those who'll mine the resources. And those who'll seek those resources out. Those are the individuals who wear the same insignia of a grand organization yet carry the mantle of the individual soul. It is not the organization that is often struck, but the individual whose traumatic life is exploited by those who seek to do the harm. It is in the darkness and solitude of space that those that seek to exploit, hunt those that would be exploited. Please enjoy & stay tuned for the next episode of the MODUS Files, “Shadow Games” - coming soon!

Today, we take a break from the harrowing journeys our characters find themselves in; and celebrate the fun of Halloween in our own very special way. So grab some candy, and maybe even a spirit, and join us for this very special Halloween episode of The MODUS Files that we call "Jesse Desse Blain”

Everything we once knew about Appalachia is being rewritten as the secrets once buried have come into the light. The survivors of the New Enclave discover the Mole Miners aren't who they thought they were…not monsters, but another in a long line of tragedies which had befallen the former residents of the region. Doctor Hairfield and Sofia continue their escape from the Whitespring, but have they gone from the frying pan into the fire? MODUS stands revealed, and his plans for Appalachia and his…human assets…harkens to a much darker vision of the New Enclave. Team Cryptid arrives at Monongah Mine, while Lieutenant Jones and Cindy plan to do some exploring of their own, to discover how the Super Mutants invaded Foundation. And Trader Red is ready to start her journey south, and finds that she is more connected to the story of Appalachia than she ever knew.

Not since the Scorched poured forth from the Cranberry Bog has Appalachia faced a threat as terrible as the Super Mutants who have overrun most of the Savage Divide. The New Enclave suffered a serious defeat at the Battle of Emmett Mountain and the survivors have been forced to flee, scattered to the four winds. Worse, MODUS has taken steps to protect himself…not from the Super Mutants, but from “human failings and weakness,” utilizing nightmarish technology and data collected from Project SOMNUS and Commander Sofia Daguerre's "Deep Sleep" Program. Trader Red survived her ordeal in the Mire, only to find herself altered, both a blessing and a curse…and ponders what her future may hold. And as Appalachia fractures, dark forces hidden away below our very feet are emerging into the light. They have their own plans for the world above…plans, which if allowed to succeed, will forever alter the course of humanity.

Nearly thirty years ago, the Great War devastated the globe…and shattered the dream that was America. Twenty-five years later, the survivors of Vault 76 strode out into an Appalachia overrun with monsters of radiation and mutation with a mission to rebuild what has been lost. After hardship and struggle, our characters find themselves on the precipice. Everything they fought for is at risk…and a new threat, far greater than they had ever faced before, has risen out of the ashes of the Old World. In our third season of the MODUS Files, the future of Appalachia…and humanity itself, will be decided by war…and War…war never changes.

Once upon a time, many years ago in a place called Vault 76, the best and brightest of the old world were safe from the ravages of nuclear fire and destruction. This is not their story, but tonight we follow a lost soul who wandered from the hills of Tennessee to Appalachia… trying to escape her past. Instead, she went from the frying pan into the fire.  The Wasteland can be a cruel and unforgiving place, happy endings are as rare as hen's teeth… but just when you think the story is over, we find a new one is just beginning.

From the beginning, the future of Appalachia has rested on the actions of multiple, competing factions. The New Enclave, the 76'ers, Foundation, Crater, the New Responders, the Blood Eagles, and the Cultists have all pursued their own goals and their own vision. Much as the conflict between the original survivors doomed them all when the Scorched rose from the Cranberry Bog, a vast new threat descends upon a region divided.  However, the hordes of Super Mutants are merely a tool of a larger conspiracy, one which has been growing beneath our very feet, with plans that extend far beyond the borders of Appalachia and threaten to forever alter the course of humanity itself. Deep within the Whitespring Bunker, MODUS has his own designs on the future, relying on technology of the past to ensure that his survival will never be compromised by mere human failings. As the events overtaking Appalachia burst into the open, our characters find themselves at a crossroads. Live or die, the future will be forever altered.

The storm clouds of war have burst forth upon the denizens of Appalachia, and no one is safe. At Emmett Mountain, a desperate defense is waged against an overwhelming force, while at Foundation, an even more insidious plan is put into motion.  Deep inside her lab, Major Lilith finds herself hunted…but who is the predator…and who is the prey? Day and the Overseer make final preparations to break into Vault 79, unaware of the greater dangers facing the region, and the Colonel races against time as she leads a rescue force into the mountains of the Savage Divide. Not all is well at the Whitespring as Major Stein returns, discovering that MODUS has plans of his own for the future of Appalachia and Trader Red finds herself in the deepest depths of the Mire…perhaps only steps away from her destiny.

Events in Appalachia are beginning to spin out of control. The Super Mutants are on the move…an army of FEV-enhanced monsters, barreling down upon the unsuspecting factions of the region. For the Colonel, that threat is a dagger, pointing straight at the heart of everything she holds dear. More secrets are revealed…Stein and Sofia stumble upon hidden chapters of the past, while deep in the Mire, Red continues her journey into the unknown…and uncovers more of the region's terrifying history. And inside Lilith's lab, her experiments with FEV reveal so much more than she ever expected and a link to her own past. The fight for Appalachia's future is far from over.

We all like to believe that we are masters of our own destiny…that our actions help drive history forward and in the case of Appalachia, that we will define the future. However, there are others with plans of their own. Trader Red stumbles on a remnant of the past in her journey north, while Day and the Overseer prepare to make their own play for wresting control of Appalachia's destiny from the Whitespring. Major Stein and Sofia uncover new secrets in the Ash Heap, and learn the fate of the rest of her crew, deepening the mystery of her condition. At Foundation, Lieutenant Cindy and Amanda attempt to deliver news to the Colonel regarding Shadow's strange comings and goings, and deep in the Savage Divide the tide is rising, representing a threat that may soon engulf the entire region.

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.

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.

Once upon a time, many years ago in a place called Vault 76, the best and brightest of the old world were safe from the ravages of nuclear fire and destruction. For those left behind, there was no fairy tale ending. The survivors were forced to learn the lessons of the harsh new world...that the strong would prey on the weak and life was cheap. In the Wasteland, sometimes heroes will rise from the most unlikely of places.

This very special episode, in honor of National Podcast Day (September 30th) gives our listeners and community a look behind the scenes of The MODUS Files!

Lilith is alive…and that is very bad news for the Blood Eagles. Underneath the Watoga, the once “City of the Future,” the final battle of the Blood Eagle War will be fought. But, just as one conflict ends, new threats emerge and deep in the Mire, Major Stein discovers another relic from the past.

We are MODUS....Multi-Operation and Directional Utility System…At one time, we assisted our Little Enclave…holding sway over the future of Appalachia. Regrettably…human failings resulted in our…isolation…from the outside world. After reflecting upon…the events of the past…we have our own tale…to tell. Once upon a time…there was a member named Stein…and his story…is also our story.

Plans within plan…Lilith has discovered the Blood Eagles weakness. Without their chems, the gang would soon fall into disarray. However, the Blood Eagles might have found Lilith's weakness too. When the unstoppable force meets an immovable object, Appalachia pays the price. And we discover that even in the Whitespring, not everything is what it seems. The Blood Eagle War continues…

Lilith is finally in her element. No rules, no limits, and only one goal…kill all the Blood Eagles she can find. From the Ash Heap to the Mire, she and her team have left a trail of destruction in their wake, and Berkeley Springs is her next target. However, there are others who will take advantage of the chaos. The Blood Eagle War is far from over…
