So, I decided to keep Curie as a companion (what can I say, she's sixy, just like Piper lol ). I completed her mission to download herself into a synth body. But I keep on hearing her mention she wants to find the institute of learning and science, or something like that. Anyone know what she's talking about? Obviously she can't teleport into the Institute with me. Am I missing something or is she just talking just to hear herself, like Piper does with her little one-liners?

One liners.

Besides, the Institute would wipe her mind anyway and restore it to Factory Default.

Lol True. But I'd blast the hell out of anyone that came near my Curie with a memory wiper.

she wants to find an institute of learning and science, a place where she can help further science, the institute would probably be her wet dream but i doubt she knows it even exists

I thought she might've been talking about the library. She did seem eager to go inside. But she didn't really do anything when I went in. There is a medical book I could get if I have enough tokens, I wonder if that might be what she's after?

To be honest I have no idea what she means by that. I do enjoy having her around though, some of the things she says make me smile.

Yeah, Curie just wants to find a bunch of like-minded individuals that are only interested in expanding our understanding of the world and not the Institute. In other words, she wants to become a professor at some university. Just too bad that all the universities are destroyed or full of crazy mad scientists. The Followers of the Apocalypse might be the closest thing to an institute of learning and science that Fallout has.
