Boomer Blight is the biggest priority for your government and therefore the new report from Arcade and Henry took priority over everything else in the day. Sorry, Secretary Weintraub, dinner will have to wait.
You pour yourself a double neat of Baclan 25 Year and tell Jane you want no distractions.
*Report on further progress of Project Olympiad*
Research Head: Dr. Henry
Deputy Research Head: Arcade Gannon
This folder contains new developments and observations by the Olympiad team. Please refer to the previous report for initial findings and observations.
Our team can confidently say that this is a manufactured strain based on what is found in Vault 22. The origins don’t match perfectly but as we don’t know where else this specimen is found in the wasteland so this is a fragile assumption based on lacking knowledge of elsewhere in the wasteland.
That being said, we are starting to hone in on what was changed in the structure of the fungal infector. This means we are closer to a treatment but we are still under the belief that there can be no cure for this strain. It is fungal in nature and therefore we can only treat the spreading and stop it from spreading when found. The focus going forward, until further data is gathered, is to come up with cheap and effective methods of containment and treatment.
It’s an unfortunate reality that we will need further funding for experimentation in treatment and containment, as our goal is to make it predictable with the current Mojave industrial capacity and our easy options are near nonexistent.
I’m not sure of the political ramifications but any further assistance can only hasten the discovery of an effective treatment and I would implore you to reach out to the Brotherhood of Steel. It may not be the politically correct choice and I have personal reservations with the organization but I cannot deny their academic and scientific acumen. But I digress.
Our team believes that after speaking to Boomer personnel, it originated in a family of Brahmin that were known to graze in a far off section of Nellis Air Base. This same family of livestock also are a large batch of ground corn, which we believe is the source of the outbreak. The Boomers also mention minor damage to the outer fencing near the plots of corn, but could not find any evidence of intrusion. The team cannot come to an agreement but I personally believe that this was how the infected specimens were introduced to the Boomers.
Finally, this is another personal observation, but one that comes from decades of regretful experience. I believe this strain was purposely blunted from full effectiveness. When trying to backtrack on how it was edited, there are plenty of obvious decisions made that impacted its communicability and its lethality. I refuse to draw any conclusions from this and I leave that up to you until our team can continue to figure this puzzle.
Loyally yours,
Dr. Henry
