Fig 5.29: Virgil’s Laboratory (Interior)
A former scientist named Virgil still experiments out here in the loneliest corner of the Glowing Sea, with only a Protectron for company. He appears only if Quest: The Glowing Sea is active. Search his laboratory for a magazine and steamer trunk and a Mini Nuke under some metal shelving.
Miscellaneous (Virgil’s Cure)
1. Find Virgil’s serum
2. Bring the serum to Virgil
3. Check on Virgil
Speak to Virgil and he mentions an experimental serum in his old laboratory that could reverse the effects of his Forced Evolutionary Virus. Continue your Main Quest until you’re able to access the Institute. Once inside, explore the FEV Laboratory. Work your way through to the lab, and take the experimental serum. Give it to Virgil and leave his laboratory for 72 hours while he waits for the change. Upon your return, speak to Virgil again, and he rewards you by allowing you to loot his laboratory (though not his rifle, which must be pried from his cold, dead, green hands).
