They updated the quest so that you only need feral ghouls blood, but when you put it in the centrifuge, the computer doesn't recognize that you did this already and says to place it there. You cannot obtain more samples, and the quest is fully broken.

Looks like the change in components broke it and it looks like exactly NOBODY at Bethesda thought to maybe try doing this quest before publishing the fix.

Just a head's up in case anyone wants to roll up a new character, or if you are new to the game: This main questline can't proceed until a patch is deployed for it.

Hey all, I know this one is frustrating since it's blocking your progression. We're actively working to address it as soon as we can so that you can get back to the main quest.

A fix is in progress, but it isn't ready for release yet. I'll give you a heads up as soon as I hear an update on the status of that fix.
