I admit it is a paper note in the Fallout 76 update Steel Reign.

The note can be found at the Harpers Ferry tunnel, next to the briefcase just past the gate to the laboratory, during Out of the Blue.

No one left alive, so I may as well admit it...
I couldn't come up with a formula to combat the strangler vines. I found some industrial strength herbicide in the storage room. The fancy dispenser, the formula notes, this lab station... all just a facade.
At first, I added a tiny bit and it worked. No one got sick. Seemed fine. You guys thought I was really smart, so win-win, right?
They started resisting the smaller dose. Had to up it. I thought maybe our drinking water's filtration system would fix it. People puking their guts out says otherwise.
I refuse to drink it. I'd rather let the thirst take me.
Sorry guys. At least I got to feel what it was like to be the smartest guy in the room for a bit.
For anyone that finds this, I'll leave some herbicide behind. Use every bit of it and give those vines my best regards.
