“SUFFICE TO SAY, THOSE VISITORS ARE UNWELCOME. THEY STOLE A GREAT MANY SECRETS AND MUCH TECHNOLOGY. IMPERTINENT. THEY ALSO BROKE ONE OF MY TRAINS.”— Doctor Klein
After completing Welcome to the Big Empty, speak with Doctor Klein in the Think Tank's Dome chamber; Klein is found at the top of the central staircase. One of the topics available is to ask why the Courier is incapable of feeling anger or drawing their weapon within the dome. Klein explains it as a side effect of their cerebral scrubbing, a security measure to protect the privacy and security of Big MT from outside interference, along with suppressing hormonal aggression to stop them from attacking the Think Tank members. He then remarks bitterly that it should have also been done with "the last batch," especially the anti-aggression scrub. Asking further leads to Klein explaining that Big MT received a fewpreviousvisitors before the Courier's arrival, and it was a costly affair as a result; he points to Doctors 0 and 8 for further details, though 0 would be more talkative as 8 still suffers the consequences of the visitors' aggression in his malfunctioning voice module.
When asked, Doctor 0 (left of the staircase opposite from Doctor Dala) will elaborate that the first visitor in particular caused more trouble than the rest. After escaping the Dome's security "in seconds," the visitor seized the Think Tank's "human farm" at Little Yangtze and performed experiments with their explosive collars, using the remaining ghoulifiedinhabitants to secure the required frequency, all while fending off attempted assaults by the Think Tank's robot legions using "a suped-up laser gun." Eventually, this visitor completed his research and remotely hijacked the scientists' think tank bodies to access their controls and escape via the train systems, overloading 0's processors and damaging 8's voice module in the process. The chaotic visit only ended after the visitor used the distraction to escape through the Big MT east tunnel, sealing it up with a train car smashing into the hole.
Though the quest completes after hearing about the first visitor, an additional dialogue option will make 0 offer minor details about the other visitors, including the second visitor being imprisoned at the Y-17 medical facility until her later escape, and the third visitor having an audience with Klein and learning dangerous secrets about Big MT and its technologies.
