* Towards the end of ''Steel Dawn'', you're tasked with tracking a signal that will hopefully lead to a transmitter the Brotherhood Expeditionary Force can use to contact the main Brotherhood branch on the West Coast. The source of the signal turns out to be an Enclave research bunker. The Enclave was studying Appalachain wildlife infected by the Scorched Plague until the facility AI, SODUS, suddenly went rogue and let the Scorched creatures loose in the facility. Those few who weren't killed by the beasts outright soon became Scorched themselves.

** Snallygasters: Man-sized, elongated reptilian abominations that scuttle after you, baring a mouth full of distorted fangs and lashing out with a barbed cudgel-like tongue. They combine EyelessFace with EyesDoNotBelongThere, have no eyes on their head but over ''two dozen'' eyes scattered around their backs. Worse still? A Snallygaster WasOnceAMan: you can find a terminal in the Advanced Mutations Lab of West-Tek that reveals Snallygasters are the result of human test subjects being exposed to a particular strain of the [[SyntheticPlague Forced Evolutionary Virus]].

* Exploring the Enclave bunker will tell you the tale of Thomas Eckhardt. The last sitting president of the United States of America. AKA: the man who destroyed Appalachia. An Enclave member and a psychotic who was absolutely obsessed with the War on Communism, Eckhardt meticulously sabotaged the early warning system to place himself into utter power over [=MODUS=], cutting off communication with the other Enclave bunkers at the Poseidon Oil Rig and Raven's Rock, and deleting almost all of the government figures assigned to the Appalachia bunker who'd outrank him from the early warning system, so they were never warned. The one exception, the Secretary of the Treasury, mysteriously succumbed to radiation sickness. Eckhardt wasted no time in seizing command and declaring that they were going to continue the war against the Communists, despite the annihilation of the USA. He did this by claiming they were going to vote on whether or not to renew the attack... and then having the dissidents gathered into a sealed room and executed with a poisonous gas grenade. This cut the entire population of the bunker down to a mere 48 souls -- but the madman was in no way dismayed. He seized control of the Liberator robotics factory hidden under Mama Dolces, as well as the bio-organic weapons research left behind at West-Tek. Bolstered by a squad of vengeful soldiers who managed to fight their way from the Capital Wasteland to Appalachia, he began turning various killer robots and monsters on Appalachia's survivors to raise the automated DEFCON level so he could take control of the nuclear silos to commence a secondary barrage of China -- which included creating the Scorchbeasts and unleashing the Scorched Plague on Appalachia, which directly exterminated every last survivor in the state. Even his replacement general, who had originally stayed on despite learning the truth from the recordings, ultimately turned on him in disgust at his fanaticism -- for which he sedated her and kept her imprisoned, planning to use her control over the nukes against her will. But her men rebelled against Eckhardt's mad schemes and tried to overthrow him; in the chaos,[=MODUS=] was damaged, and this somehow enabled it to [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters rebel against Enclave control]]; it flooded the bunker with a deadly chemical weapon and killed everybody in it. Their rotted corpses are now stuffed into a series of dumpsters sitting outside of the bunker's service entrance. All that death, the annihilation of the remnants of human civilization in this region... all for one madman's obsessions, and all for nothing.

AKA: and the man who destroyed Appalachia. An Enclave member and a psychotic who was absolutely obsessed with the War on Communism, Communism (his father had defected to China years before the Great War, disgracing his whole family as traitors and driving Eckhardt to insanity in his desire to utterly wipe out communism in revenge and to restore his name), Eckhardt meticulously sabotaged the early warning system to place himself into utter power over [=MODUS=], cutting off communication with the other Enclave bunkers at the Poseidon Oil Rig and Raven's Rock, and deleting almost all of the government figures assigned to the Appalachia bunker who'd outrank him from the early warning system, so they were never warned.

* Watoga. Designed by [=RobCo=] as America's first fully automated city, almost everything in the city, from commerce to government, was handled by the self-replicating robots installed throughout the city. Unfortunately, the fact that the robots handling everything [[JobStealingRobots left everyone else out of work]] quickly became a sore point, and riots quickly began becoming commonplace. Eventually, an unnamed Saboteur decided to infect the robot's main system with a virus to cause them to shut down, but [[GoneHorriblyRight it ended up working a little too well]]. Instead of simply shutting down, the robots went berserk and massacred the entire city over the course of a single day, and by the time of the game the city is a ghost town, populated only by the infinitely respawning robots that will brutally attack any organic they see.

** And the worst part? Unlike with the Scorched Plague, ''there's nothing you can do about it''. The Saboteur specifically designed the virus so that he and only he could properly cure it, but he's long dead by the time you find his hideout. The most you're able to do is to use his leftover work to add yourself to a "whitelist" so the robots will no longer attack you. While this does make Watoga a safe haven and an ideal CAMP site, the fact remains that the robots are all still infected and will still attack anyone else who comes too close.
