After that, a paranoid schizophrenic nightkin named Tabitha progressively turned the satellite array into a fortress against all outsiders. The leader of the community, Marcus, was pushed out. Over time, nightkin and the second generation super mutants trickled into Black Mountain, which eventually caused problems.

Black Mountain was unoccupied for over a century after the war.
