Fortunate Son

Fortunate Son is a side job in.

Walkthrough
After finishing Queen of the Highway, look around the camp to find Bob checking in on an injured nomad's condition to learn it's not looking good: Jake Scooter needs a special kidney implant for sickle cell anemia. He'll eventually point you to a pickup location Dakota Smith fixed up to get it, a hospital in Little China. Postponing this quest will fail it as Jake dies.

Once near the hopsital, head to the back cargo area. There an employee will be waiting with the implant but as soon as you pick it up, he runs off as police suddenly charge in to kill you. Note you have to defeat them all rather than run away to continue the quest here. Once they're all dead, confront the employee who'll reveal the police learned of the deal and stepped in to kill you because they thought Dakota was helping out Raffen Shiv and couldn't tell the difference between them and nomads.

If you have at least 10 Intelligence, you can ask if anyone else touched the implant and he'll reveal the police put a virus on the firmware as he hands you the original, unaffected one you'll need to swap it out to remove the virus. You can then decide to let him go or kill him.

Once done, head back to the camp to give Bob the implant. If you learned of the virus, you'll automatically let him know of it so he can swap it out. You'll then be told to come back in a few hours to check in on Jake. When enough time's passed, Bob will text you. Read his message then head back to the camp to talk to him about Jake. If you warned about the virus, he'll note Jake's doing well and thanks you again for helping them out.
