Welcome to the MODUS Files. In the year 2102, twenty five years after the bombs dropped, the residents of Vault 76 venture into an Appalachia ravaged by war, plague and monsters.

Our story begins on Reclamation Day with Vault 76 resident Valeria Faustina, whose path will shape the future of the region...and perhaps even humanity itself.

The Great War changed the landscape of America in ways the survivors could barely comprehend. Once bountiful fields were now nothing but barren deserts, while the towering forests - at least those not clear-cut to provide resources for the war effort - were either blasted expanses of burnt matchstick trunks, or in some cases, something far, far worse.

The long winding road leads Red and the Baileys towards Tennessee, but the path will prove to be a treacherous one, as both human and beast stand in the way of their destination. And as the old maps used to say, when one steps into the unknown…”Here Be Monsters.”

The Golden Rule of the Wasteland - “Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.” Red finds herself burdened with responsibilities she neither wanted nor needed, but a job is a job…just like her Pa used to say.

The Baileys are still coming to terms with their mysterious benefactor, hoping that she’ll be enough to get them to points south and the beginnings of a new life. Tensions remain, however, and trust comes hard on those lonely Kentucky roads.

And Red’s past may soon come to haunt them all, because the Reavers don’t forget and they don’t forgive…and an act of mercy might prove to be Red’s worst mistake of them all.
