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.

Quick Walkthrough
First, you need to find and obtain holotapes in order to 'learn' how to splice them.

The Dog and Lobotomite Splicing Experiment Holotape and Dog and Robot Splicing Experiment Holotape are both found in the X-8 research center as well as the last one, Robot and Nightstalker Splicing Experiment Holotape, however you need the key to the X-8 kennel.

There are a few "rules" to follow when starting to splice:


 * You can only make 3 creatures per day.
 * You can only make one Robot+Dog splice (Roxie) at a time.
 * You need to clear the area before creating a new creature.

Once you are ready and have found the necessary holodisks you can start SPLICING!

Here is what the terminal will display and 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. There may be a PC Bug which doesn't recognize the completion of this challenge.
 * Lobotomite and robot -- creates a friendly robobrain which mumbles about "this wonderful new world for a dreamer like itself" before it screams "NO" then proceeds to blows up.
