Discard five City cards of any colours at a research station, with at least one of them a city that currently has a purple cube. A Scientist or Field Operative turning in fewer cards still needs one such city. If you already removed the purple cube from a city, for example with Remote Treatment, that city's card no longer meets the requirement. Curing is the same action as any other, and eradication requires the cure plus no cubes.
