How about just having this page redirect to the FEV section of Mutant? Good idea? Dan 10:09, 21 Feb 2005 (GMT)

You can't redirect to sections. And mutant is not the place to describe the history of FEV etc, which should be edited out of that article. Ausir 12:39, 21 Feb 2005 (GMT)

[edit] Inaccurate

Some of the information about FEV origins are not accurate on this page. In short, Pan-immunity Virus Project was developed in order to fight an unspecified Plague that was hitting the US at the time (and which, by the way, was the reason for nation-wide quarantine protocols going into effect at around 2053). It was suspected the Plague was effectively a biological weapon, but nothing definite on that.

Furthermore, PVP was renamed to FEV on 21. March 2075, and it was done by the researchers themselves, not the military. The military was sent in to observe these experiments ("in the interest of national security") much later - on the 3rd of January, 2076.

Testing on chimpanzees (batch 11-111) was conducted on October 4th, 2076. It is not until early January of 2077 (7th, to be exact) when the FEV research is forcibly moved to Mariposa Military Base, where secret human testing begins. The military force stationed there is oblivious to this, though. In October of the same year they find out, though, and stage a revolt (killing chief researcher Anderson in the process). 20. of October, Cpt. Maxson (later to be seen as Brotherhood of Steel leader) declares his (and his team's) full desertion from the military. This all still happened before the bombs fell. :)

I won't do the editing myself, so please use Your genuine Wiki editing skills to do it right (I can't be held responsible ;P).
