Doctor Lesko

Dr. Weston Lesko is a scientist living in Grayditch in 2277.

Background
Lesko is responsible for creating the fire ants that carried off or killed almost everyone in Grayditch. He was experimenting on giant ants, trying to return them to their normal size through genetic manipulation when he accidentally created the fire-breathing mutation. Lesko has remained indifferent to the death and destruction caused, stating that a few lives is a worthwhile price to pay for the benefit to future generations.

Daily schedule

 * Until the quest Those! is completed, Lesko can be found deep underground in the Marigold Station. He will usually be in his laboratory outside the hatchery, or he might flee a short distance into the hatchery itself.
 * Lesko will not return to his shack until Those! is fully completed. This means you must also find a home for Bryan (or refuse to do so) and receive the experience points for this quest before Lesko will return to his shack.

Quests

 * Those!: Doctor Lesko requires the player's help to regain control of his experiment. If the player has a high enough Science skill and Intelligence, an additional dialogue option appears when asking Lesko about his experiments. When the Science option is chosen, Lesko reveals that he has been using FEV in his experiments. An additional dialogue option will also appear if the player has chosen the perk Entomologist, which upsets the doctor slightly.
 * Nectar Collecting for Fun and Profit: After completion of "Those!", Lesko will pay for samples of fire ant nectar. Be aware that entering Doctor Lesko's shack will be considered trespassing, even though you might have to enter it to give him some nectar. Stay there for too long, and both the protectron and Doctor Lesko will become hostile to you.
