Blind Diode Jefferson

Blind Diode Jefferson is an automated personality in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
Blind Diode Jefferson was forced offline when Dr. Mobius abandoned The Think Tank and left for the Forbidden Zone. Once his personality backup is retrieved from house #108, he speaks with a slow drawl, similar in style to a stereotypical Deep South Blues musician. When left alone, he may continue to ramble, spouting mostly-useless advice and anecdotes of by-gone times. When asked if he can play music, he says that he used to before Dr. Mobius took out his music drives - hence exacerbating his feeling of 'the blues'. Mobius used him to change the frequency of sonic emitters.

Quests

 * All My Friends Have Off Switches: Blind Diode Jefferson is one of the appliances that the Courier must retrieve a module for.
 * Field Research: All Audio Samples must be recovered and installed. The final upgrade is located in the Forbidden Zone dome entrance.

Effects of player's actions

 * If Blind Diode Jefferson is fully upgraded when Old World Blues is completed, the ending slide show mentions that Jefferson saves the Big MT from "Sonic Invasion" sometime in 2910.

Appearances
Blind Diode Jefferson appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes
This character is strikingly similar to the famous Texas Blues artist Blind Lemon Jefferson, with a diode simply being a component of a jukebox, just like a lemon (bitterness) could be seen to be a component of the blues.
