Rewrite vault 87 and east coast fev

RoosterCole

First time out of the vault
so i was playing fallout 3 and the vault didn't make sense why did the military give vault tec the fev to use it when they have mariposa and scientists to work on it and see the results and retcon west tech holodisk so let's change the fev into a retrovirus called narcissus since the enclave and posiden love the names from greek mythology like athena power armor from van buren the first government project to make super soldier but failed the idea here is that the project failed because they tried while the fev was a cure to the new plague but tuned into super solder project unintentionally
narcissus increases mutation rate in the dna to make something like this https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Failed_FEV_Subject but less pathetic and not crippled it is like half-ghoul and half-super mutant but they can't stop growing
so if we rewrite the vault to be more about social experiments about how people would react to genetically engineered operations on humans to make them evolve into a new race that can adapt to live anywhere the point about the experiment is that when humans go to a new planet it won't be 100% viable planet maybe cosmic radiation or ultraviolet rays etc will be a problem and to make the life easier their body must adapt so to make it faster and easier humans will use genetic engineering on human but everyone will like it
so the vault experiment will go like this
the overseer says the capital is so radiated and the vault isn't different than that vault but vault tec gives them the AAV so they can adapt and develop immunity against radiation and live in rough and radiated places but it will change their look most of the vault accepts that fearing death and looking forward into a better life but few not after that the vault dwellers will turn into mutants but they are aggressive and easy to anger them
the vault dwellers on the other hand wouldn't accept them as equals and the situation becomes nervous the racist starts in the vault because they fear the super mutants and start to collect weapons the fight begins the super mutants win but with a lot of losses so they decide to turn the rest of the vault dwellers into super mutants by force so they can be one race and racist stop and that expand to the rest of dc and because of radiated the mutation rate is higher so it go wrong and they turned into alive meat pieces or something
it's just the fev in another name and the idea suffers from the lack of originality but this is my attempt
what do you think

Edit #1-2 the virus works by entering the cell and releasing its dna to merge with the nucleus but it increases the rate of dna mutation by manipulating the genetic text strengthening it as a whole and doubling it this increases the growth rate the virus uses the same nucleus of a cell for reproduction the second-gen of the virus let's call it the new cells which is the somatic cell that is produced by an infected cell but it has less mutation rate than the previous infected cell the new cell will eat other cells mimic them and take their place and multiply to make another new cell to replace every body cell

the new cell can't die even if the organism has already passed and because of its solitary behavior it will eat the other cells speeding up the decomposition process

the infected organism continues to mutate and the whole dna with the dominant genetic trait will be strengthening but less after time passes

When the dna gets strengthened the repair genes will work much better so if the radiation destroys some part of the dna the corrupted genes will not accumulate and will be get repaired quickly

will not be a problem and as time passes the mutation rate decreases and the original dominant genetic traits become less potent until all of the body cells remain constant on one genetic code and you have a mutant

That means if the character has bruiser trait he will become super mutant-like but slower they fight with melee weapons

But if the person is too much radiated the mutation rate of the new cells will last longer and different effects will happen on some parts that do not occur in others imagine it as the "mutant!" perk in fallout 1 you change your trait from bruiser to small frame but only your arm diminishing while the rest of your body stays the same
