Sink Central Intelligence Unit

"Salutation and felicitations, sir, and a most jocund welcome to the sink. I am your electronic valet and household central processor. May I be of service, sir?"

Sink Central Intelligence Unit is a computer operating in the Big Empty in 2281.

Background
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is the human-accessible computer responsible for the Big Empty's data storage. It can act as a merchant and repairman when in the Big Empty. Although he is artificial intelligence, he denies this himself, saying he is nothing more than drivers and software with a voice chip.

Once his personality back-up is retrieved from Dr. Klein and re-integrated into the system, the CIU 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.

Bugs

 * All vendors suffer from a bug where their caps will not reset or transfer to the player during purchases if the vendor's current cap count exceeds approximately 32,000 to 33,000 caps. This has been a vendor bug since the point release of New Vegas. Caution should be used when any purchase may cause the a vendor's standing cap count to exceed 30,000. See bugs page for details.
