Sink Central Intelligence Unit

The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is an automated personality AI operating in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is the human-accessible computer responsible for the Big MT's data storage. It can act as a merchant, and repairman when in the Big Empty. Once his personality back-up is retrieved from Dr. Klein and re-integrated into the system, the SCIU speaks with a stiff, overly-verbose and faintly British accent, in the manner of a stereo-typical butler or personal valet. Out of dialogue, the Sink's CIU may make passing remarks about the Courier, offering suggestions of rest and/or refreshments and the like.

Quests

 * All My Friends Have Off Switches: Your first objective is to install the SCIU into the Sink.
 * Influencing People: You must retrieve and install all upgrades for the CIU.

Other interactions

 * Through dialogue, the Sink Central Intelligence Unit can be used to disable the personality AIs of the other appliances. They can be re-activated at any time through the same dialogue as well.

Notable quotes

 * "Might sir care for an apéritif to balm the weariness of the sir's manifold journeys?"
 * "A most rapturous good morrow on your return to your domicile, sir. I trust you shall find things in order and the riffraff contained."
 * "Perhaps sir would like to put sir's feet up, and I might serenade sir with the dulcet tones of a light opera?"
 * "Sir is looking exceptionally sharp today, if sir will permit the compliment."
 * "If sir would press sir's spinal area against my primary instrument panel, I might vibrate at a soothing frequency."

Appearances
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * Several bugs exist related to vendor inventory replenishment and conditions that prevent caps from transferring from a vendor(not specific to Old World Blues). See main bugs page for details.
 * At some point in the game, the Sink CIU won't refresh it's shop inventory and caps, additionally the Biological Research Station won't respawn plants for harvest even after 3 in-game days.
