Sink Central Intelligence Unit

Sink Central Intelligence Unit is an automated personality computer operating in the Big Empty 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 stereotypical butler or personal valet. Out of dialogue, the Sink's CIU may make passing remarks about the Courier, offering suggestions of 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 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. He can also reactivate them if you want it to.

Notable quotes

 * "Might sir care for an apéritif to balm the weariness of the sirs 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."
 * "Will sir be staying for any considerable length of time during sir's visit?"
 * "Perhaps sir would like to put sir's feet up, and I might serenade sir with the dulcet tones of a light opera?"
 * "Might I say that sir is looking exceptionally well today, if sir will permit the compliment."

Appearances
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit appears 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.
 * Changing the AI personalities through dialogue with the SCIU to 'on' or 'off' can negatively effect the available interactive options for the other appliances. The Auto-Doc and Jukebox are significantly effected when AI personalities are set to 'off'.
