X-8 Splicing Facility Terminal

The X-8 splicing facility terminal allows you to create 4 different creatures by splicing them, each one completes a challenge rewarding the player variable XP; they are challenges in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Walkthrough
Three holotapes are required in order to 'learn' all the splicing experiments.
 * Dog and Lobotomite Splicing Experiment Holotape
 * Dog and Robot Splicing Experiment Holotape
 * Robot and Nightstalker Splicing Experiment Holotape

All three can be found in the X-8 research center, however you need the key to the X-8 kennel to obtain the final holotape.

There are a few "rules" for splicing:
 * only three experiment creatures can be made per day.
 * You can only do one Dog and Robot splicing Experiment (Roxie) at a time.
 * You need to clear the area before starting new experiments.

The X-8 slicing terminal displays the results of what you splice:
 * Splice Robot and Dog -- Creates a friendly, temporary companion, Roxie.
 * Splice Lobotomite and Dog -- Results in a "dismal failure", leaving behind the severely mutilated bodies of a dog and a lobotomite. The lobotomite can be looted for a weapon and minor loot.
 * Splice Robot and Unusual Specimen -- Creates a robobrain that is friendly but starts shooting randomly before exploding. (Completes the Automaton challenge rewarding variable XP).
 * Lobotomite and robot—creates a friendly robobrain which excitedly muses about the exciting new world it's presented with and what opportunities it offers to "a dreamer like itself"... before exploding.
