Season 2 - Episode 1 "Appalachian Dawn"

Author: Lawrence McNamara January 28, 2022 Duration: 44:32

The Death of the Scorchbeast Queen was merely the beginning of our story...

During the long winter of 2104, the New Enclave slowly rebuilt and reorganized, knowing they would find a much more complicated Appalachia when the snows finally melted.

The old DieHards Raider Gang has returned from exile and occupies the old crashed space station in the north, while settlers from beyond the mountains have made the Spruce Knob Campground their home, dubbing it “Foundation”. 

Blood Eagle outposts and Mothman Cultist compounds dot the landscape and areas once considered safe..are no longer.

And an intercepted message reveals the fate of the Overseer of Vault 76 - and another piece is added to the chessboard.

As the Colonel prepares to lead once again, she must deal with the scars of the past…upon her return from the Bog, she went to speak to MODUS…the contents of their conversation have been classified, until now…


Deep in the irradiated hills of Appalachia, a story unfolds from within the Whitespring Bunker. The MODUS Files-A Fallout Audio Drama Podcast Series is an immersive journey into a fractured future. Following Reclamation Day, the survivors from Vault 76 scattered across a hostile land. While some turned to raiding or solitary wandering, a select few were drawn to the enigmatic AI known as MODUS, who promised a return to America's former glory. This audio drama follows those characters as they navigate this uneasy alliance, tasked with rebuilding a nation from the ashes. But the past is never truly buried, and their mission quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Each episode pulls you into a world of creeping dread and hard choices, where every discovered log and every whispered conversation reveals another layer of the bunker's dark secrets. Created by Lawrence McNamara, this fiction podcast blends rich sound design with character-driven storytelling, exploring the grim intersection of science and ideology. You'll walk the echoing corridors alongside the protagonists, feeling the weight of their decisions as they confront not only the mutated horrors outside, but the even more dangerous truths festering within their own ranks. It's a tale of legacy, corruption, and what it truly means to reclaim a world that might be better left forgotten.
