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.
