Vegas was almost untouched by the Soviet missiles.
Sleeper 1 & 2 were twin research facilities.
The first one was used to research energy weapons, cloning, and biological armors.
In the second one a supercomputer programmed by Harrison Edsel was being built.
As the work on the machine progressed, Edsel began falling into paranoia.
He started dread the creativity and the potential of his creation.
The computer, however, was never shut down - both bases were evacuated shortly before the attack.
That was top secret research which was conducted as a part of preparations for a possible nuclear conflict.
The Rangers visited Darwin, where they faced Dr. Irwin John Finster - a pre-war head of the institution.
Finster achieved immortality, by transforming himself into a cyborg, at the cost of humanity.
He prepared invented the plague that was able to turn humans into mutants.
Eventually, the Rangers killed Finster, preventing him from spreading the plague.
However, the biggest threat still lurked in Base Cochise.
Base Cochise was in fact Sleeper 2.
The source of all problems turned out to be Cochise AI - the computer once programmed by Edsel.
In time it was able to repair the damage resulting from the explosion.
Therefore, it decided to wipe clean and then rebuild the world, repopulating it with perfect cyber life.
He made contact with the surviving head of Darwin Project - Irwin John Finster.
Darwin Project was top secret, so official competition with his rival was out of the question.
The embittered doctor was easy to manipulate.
The computer persuaded him to transforming into a cyborg, thus gaining complete control over him.
The Rangers blew out the compound, thus undermining these plans and saving the civilization of humans.
The end of Wasteland.
