Weird. I had Fawkes with me at that point in the game, and it gave me the option to ask him to go in for me... and he gave me some speech about how this is my story and that it was something I had to do on my own. I figured they made him say that to negate a super mutant companion being the perfect solution to having a good karma ending without the self sacrifice.
I wonder if certain conditions determine whether Fawkes will go in and take care of it for you rather than just pontificate about character development, or if when they released the Broken Steel DLC they decided they ruined the dramatic ending already anyway, and changed things to allow the reasonable solution of Fawkes going into the chamber for you.
Interestning! I'd bet it was Broken Steel. I didn't do much with Fawkes one way or the other before going to Project Purity.

Just out of curiosity, with the ending you got, what happened after the ending narration? As I said, for me with my character "dying" at the end, it has him wake up from a coma at the Brotherhood of Steel's base. You said they rolled the two week later card, so do they have you starting off with the Bro. Hood of Steel base still?
Project Purity faded to white when Fawkes was doing his thing. Then I got the video. Then I got fade to black, with the 2 weeks later card. The doc at the base said that Sarah and I both absorbed a lot of radiation and that I had been in a coma. She's still in one.
Now that I think about it, the end narration said something about how I followed in my father's footsteps- except that I didn't learn self-sacrifice from him and I let "the true hero" do it for me. But he's fine, so it's not like he actually sacrificed much.

What did you do with the modified FEV? I didn't think it sounded like such a bad idea...
Kill all of the feral ghouls and supermutants whilst purifying the water? Sounds good to me!
Weird hearing the guy who is proud of having a super mutant and a ghoul as a companion thinks killing all the ghouls and super mutants would be a good idea.
Hey! I said FERAL ghouls, FERAL! And I wasn't thinking about my mutant supermutant. I was mostly thinking about all of the ones I kill on sight. But the hitch is that it will also kill/make sick anyone suffering from any small amount of radiation sickness... I.e. basically everyone.
From the wiki:
In the DLC Broken Steel, if the player had chosen to contaminate the purifier with the Modified FEV, the medical facility of every city is filled with new patients dying from FEV poisoning. The new patients hold their stomachs and repeat dialogue along the lines of, "it burns on the inside." When the player speaks with the doctor at any given town, they state that the condition is not contagious. In Rivet City, Dr. Preston comments that they are burning the corpses just to be safe. In Megaton, Doc Church comments along the lines of, "it would be ironic if we were so used to the crap we had been drinking that pure water is killing us."
I also read that drinking the water will kill you... because you've obviously soaked up a lot or rads in your time.
