On the Same Wavelength

On The Same Wavelength is a quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Quick walkthrough
There seems to be a language barrier between Doctor 8 and the player. Certain dialogue options will reveal that a highly perceptive or scientifically inclined Courier can understand the doctor, and use this knowledge as they see fit.

Detailed walkthrough
The player has the task of speaking to each of the Big MT scientists. After some seemingly senseless conversation with Doctor 8, the Courier, with either Perception 7 or Science 75, can recognize the scientist's efforts at communication as a RobCo frequency.

With this knowledge, and another Science 75 skill check, the player can choose to exploit this knowledge, or to leave Doctor 8 un-hacked, explaining that they know what it's like to be experimented on (referring to their non-consenting lobotomy). If the latter is chosen, the doctor will be grateful and the player will receive Good Karma.
