This quest requires that the dwarves be injured (not killed), then healed. At 120, I was unable to injure them - only kill them... So, I pulled out the trusty Soft Foam Sword toy. Worked like a charm.

What to do
Description
Look, I didn't tell Kimzee about this because I don't want to hurt her feelings, I chose not to leave Pinchwhistle Point. See, I've been working on a serum that I think should be able to cure the infected, but when I tried to test it I got surrounded and I injured my leg during the escape. I know I'm on the right track but I need to test it. Do me a favor and take this vial and go try it out on one of the infected outside.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unwanted Pests
Those creatures out in the shallows keep busting the turrets as fast as we can get them operational. I'm supposed to go clear them out but my blaster is completely busted; the damn thing barely can light a candle like this!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Curing With Force
The infection is getting stronger so I made some adjustments and I'm pretty sure I have the right formula now. It should now work but it needs to have less competition with the infected blood for it to have any effect.
