Characteristics [ ]

A serum unique on a wasteland scale, this container contains a retrovirus capable of returning the super mutant Brian Virgil back to his human form. Although such a cure was theoretically possible before the Great War , reversing the mutation was believed to be an unachievable goal, as the counter-virus would require both a preserved sample of the original DNA and a way to neutralize the FEV. Neither were believed to be possible to achieve, as FEV eliminated the original DNA and no method existed to remove the virus. At least, until Brian Virgil worked on the Institute 's FEV project, advancing the understanding of FEV's capabilities beyond pre-War knowledge. [1]

The serum is a retrovirus, [2] using recombinant counter-intron sequences and transcriptive exon strands [3] together with a genetic resequencer to counteract the specific strain of FEV that Virgil was infected with, restoring him to a human state not by reverting to the original DNA, but recreating it using the mutated DNA as basis. The experimental state of the serum and a buggy resequencer do not result in a perfect restoration, leaving portions of the mutated code untouched: Virgil retains some muscle mass after the transformation... And his baldness being apparently cured. However, the cure's effectiveness is limited to the single specific strain Virgil infected himself with and generalizing the formula would take years, if not decades. [4]

• The Institute , in a container inside the ruined FEV lab.
• ↑ The Vault Dweller : "{120}{}{How does the Virus work?}" ZAX 1.2 : "{157}{}{My research into the Forced Evolution Virus, or FEV, indicates that it is a shifting-absorptive virus. It copies DNA patterns much like RNA, storing these patterns in exons.}" "{158}{}{These exons, combined with the FEV, are re-injected into the host cells in typical viral infectious fashion. This causes the host cells to 'regenerate' their DNA.}" The Vault Dweller: "{159}{}{How do you catch FEV?}" ZAX 1.2: "{162}{}{FEV is not 'caught', per se. It is not air-transmittable. Typically, infection is through injection, or direct physical contact with an FEV sample.}" The Vault Dweller: "{164}{}{Why isn't FEV affected by radiation?}" ZAX 1.2: "{166}{}{The FEV is a megavirus, with a protein sheath reinforced by ionized hydrogen. It is therefore capable of absorbing neutrons without becoming radioactive.}" The Vault Dweller: "{168}{}{If the FEV re-infects the host with its assimilated viral patterns, how does it make a 'better specimen'?}" ZAX 1.2: "{169}{}{The FEV is pre-programmed with introns of corrected DNA appropriate to the proper type of species. It therefore attempts to correct the DNA of the individual.}" "{170}{}{However, as the FEV is partially reliant upon the DNA of the individual, and also includes portions of its own recursive code, the effects can be unpredictable.}" "{171}{}{When inoculated into an individual with significant genetic damage, such as through radiation, it will cause the body's systems to suffer massive overhauling, leading to organ failure and death.}" "{172}{}{In a genetically viable individual, it re-writes portions of DNA, causing accelerated mutation, usually leading to recursive growth due to the FEV's own patterns.}" "{173}{}{This recursive growth leads to an increase in muscle and brain mass, but is often accompanied by disfigurement and damage to existing neural patterns, causing loss of memory.}" The Vault Dweller: "{174}{}{What potential long-term side effects exist?}" ZAX 1.2: "{178}{}{As the FEV causes constant regenerative update to DNA, it would effectively render the subject largely immortal, as cell death would be offset by augmented growth.}" "{179}{}{Additionally, as the gametes of the reproductive system consist of 'half-cells' using split DNA, they could be perceived as 'damage' by FEV, which would 'repair' them, rendering the subject sterile.}" "{180}{}{However, as my laboratory facilities are damaged beyond repair, this is conjectural. I cannot offer physical proof. You will have to, in human terms, 'take my word for it.'}" The Vault Dweller: "{181}{}{Could FEV mutation be corrected with a counter-virus?}" ZAX 1.2: "{184}{}{No. FEV does not retain unaltered original copies of the subject's DNA. Only a virus which re-infected the subject with original DNA could reverse the effects. Additionally, there is no known way to remove the FEV itself.}" ( ZAX.MSG )
• ↑ Sole Survivor : " It'll work. Don't worry. " Brian Virgil : " I hope so. We just have to let the retrovirus run its course. Virgil_Supermutant: I'm going to rest for a while. Come back in a few days, maybe a week, and... well, I guess we'll see. "
• ↑ Brian Virgil : " Retrovirus has matured nicely. Density gradient is high... Recombinant counter-intron sequences look stable... Transcriptive exon strands have formed... "
• ↑ Brian Virgil : " Welcome back. It needs some refinement, but I think we can consider my serum a qualified success.' " Sole Survivor : " This is a "qualified success"? " Brian Virgil : " There were some side effects to the process. I seem to have hair again. And I've retained some muscle mass. The genetic resequencer needs more work. Still, I take your point. This is a significant advance. But only for one strain of FEV. It will take years, perhaps decades, to generalize my formula. "

Virgil's Cure

Virgil's Cure is a miscellaneous quest in  Fallout 4 .

• 2 Detailed walkthrough
• 3 Quest stages
• 4 Companion reactions

Quick walkthrough [ ]

Detailed walkthrough [ ].

Virgil's Cure automatically starts when talking to Brian Virgil in the main story quest The Glowing Sea . In the conversation the Sole Survivor first has with Virgil, he requests that they retrieve a serum in exchange for his information about the Institute . From this point, the quest cannot be advanced until the player character makes their way to the Institute later in the game.

When in the Institute, find the FEV lab , an old locked area of Institute BioScience . There's a back entrance with a Master terminal in the main room of BioScience. This leads directly to the room the serum is in and also the main entrance to the FEV lab, found at the end of some seemingly abandoned storage halls and rooms. Once in the FEV lab, travel through it to the end room, where the serum is located. The lab will be defended by several turrets and also an assaultron but is otherwise uninhabited. The serum is in the final room in a lab machine on top of a desk.

An alternative way into the FEV lab is via a Novice locked door. As soon as one enters BioScience, turn right. Follow the corridor into a storage room. Turn right after the first rack. Then, after going through the door, take an immediate left. Go straight to the end door to find the Novice locked door.

Bring the serum back to Virgil. The player character has two options:

• One can simply give Virgil the serum, and certain companions will react differently to this choice. For example, John Hancock , Piper , Nick Valentine , and Codsworth like the player character's choice to cure Virgil ( Curie loves it), but Danse will not like it at all; this is due to what happened with his friend Cutler which resulted in a strong hate from Danse towards super mutants and other non-human creatures alike. [1] Strong also will not like it as he prefers being a super mutant and is angry with the doctor's ambitions to cure the others.
• One can also lie to Virgil through a sequence of three speech checks (the difficulty of each one increases each time), claiming that the serum wasn't there. After the first two checks, the player character still has the option to give the serum to Virgil through breaking and re-initiating dialogue with him. After the third speech check Virgil requests that the player character kill him and the quest will fail. If the player character has visited Swan's Pond and read the notes there, they can ask Virgil if he remembers Edgar Swann after the first speech check. This will lead to a medium speech check to convince him to end his life (bypassing the hard check).

After giving the serum to Virgil, wait three days and return to find he has transformed back into a human. Speak with him again and he will offer the player character his lab for use, which will make all items therein available for looting.

Quest stages [ ]

Companion reactions [ ].

• The first stage of this quest is not listed under miscellaneous quests; only the last two stages are.
• The quest requires Novice lockpicking and hacking skills only to get through the doors within the FEV lab, which itself is locked (Master) within Institute BioScience. This can be avoided however by going through some doors behind the main lab.

• Alternatively, before acquiring the cure serum, return to Virgil and tell him "what serum?" when he asks about it. He will then bring up the deal and the miscellaneous quest will be added.
