Toaster (Old World Blues)

Toaster is an automated personality in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
The Toaster in The Sink was ordered to go offline when Dr. Mobius left the Think Tank. His personality back-up is recovered from a "toaster altar" in The Cuckoo's Nest. The Toaster is psychotically violent, aggressive and megalomaniacal, bent on destroying the Earth with atomic fire. However, he is unaware atomic fire has already rained when the Great War began. When informed that the Earth has already been destroyed, the wind is somewhat taken out of his sails, albeit briefly, before he quickly returns to his "Burn the World" agenda by threatening to bathe the world in "atomic fire....again."

Quests
All My Friends Have Off Switches: The Toaster is one of the appliances that the Courier must retrieve a module for. The module is found in The Cuckoo's Nest, sitting on what appears to be a shrine for toasters and electric appliances.

Effects of player's actions

 * If the Courier lies, claiming that his prior statement that the world had already been incinerated in an atomic fire was "just a joke," Toaster will be relieved that he "isn't as redundant and useless as Muggy."
 * If the Courier has good or neutral Karma, the ending slide show of Old World Blues relates that the Toaster continued to rant about how he would burn the world. After a particularly violent episode, the other appliances got tired of the Toaster and dumped him into a bathtub. In his last moments, the Toaster swears that they would "rue the day when they had bread... and no way to toast it."
 * If the Courier has evil Karma, then the ending slide show shows that the Toaster, learning from the Courier, continued destroying appliances and eventually built a shrine to itself in The Cuckoo's Nest.

Other interactions

 * The Toaster can heat up a Saturnite fist, converting it into a super-heated Saturnite fist.
 * The Toaster can also convert the following small appliances into five energy cells and three microfusion cells per item:
 * Toasters (Both variants)
 * Cameras
 * Hot plates
 * Irons
 * In addition to the energy and microfusion cells, the Toaster will return one scrap electronics for each toaster it receives.
