Sink Central Intelligence Unit

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 MT'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.

The Sink Central Intelligence Unit also shares the same voice as Edwin Jarvis in the movie Iron Man, this is the voice of Tony Stark's Home Central Intelligence Computer.

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.
