Sink Central Intelligence Unit

The Sink Central Intelligence Unit (SCIU) is an automated personality operating in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is the voice command computer responsible for the Big MT's data storage. It can act as a merchant and repairman when in the Big Empty. Once his personality back-up is retrieved from Dr. Klein and re-integrated into the system, the SCIU speaks with a stiff, overly-verbose and faintly British accent, in the manner of a stereotypical butler or personal valet. Out of conversation, the Sink's CIU may make passing remarks about the Courier, offering suggestions of rest and/or refreshments and the like.

Quests

 * All My Friends Have Off Switches: Your first objective is to install the SCIU into the Sink.
 * Influencing People: You must retrieve and install all upgrades for the SCIU.

Other interactions

 * Through dialogue, the Sink Central Intelligence Unit can be used to disable the personality AIs of the other appliances. They can be re-activated at any time through the same dialogue as well.

Appearances
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * The game may crash after having any conversation with the Sink CIU.
 * Several bugs exist related to vendor inventory replenishment and conditions that prevent caps from transferring from a vendor(not specific to Old World Blues). See main bugs page for details.
 * At some point in the game, the Sink CIU won't refresh its shop inventory and caps, additionally the Biological Research Station won't respawn plants for harvest even after 3 in-game days. The unofficial fix can be downloaded here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42987 for the PC.
 * The Sink CIU will stop giving you caps for the items sold to it. Only known fix is to reinstall the Old World Blues DLC.
