To answer your questions which were not spoilers mind you, and neither are the answers. I was not aware you could even talk Autumn down. In fact I am reasonably sure you cannot. I had a significant speech bonus, and I couldn't dissuade him. Further more why would you want to he has good loot, and no there seems to be no way he could be finagled into the story beyond him being a prisoner.
One would assume it would take a good amount of time for the waters to be purified. How long do you think it would take for purity to empty the estuary a dozen times. All purity really does is supply clean drinking water. Two weeks would be terribly fast for it to clean up the wasteland.
You discovered in Vault 87 that the Super Mutants were biologically engineered. You also discover that they at least transform normal humans into Super Mutants by exposing them to to the mutagen. I was not aware that they were searching for something. They are no smarter then children, are sterile, basically immortal, and have a severe bigotry towards humans. Basically Talon Company, and the super mutants are fighting for territory.
