The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is the voice command computer responsible for the Sink's data storage, developed by Doctor Mobius as part of a collection of experiments on machine/human interface.[2] Through its shopkeep interface, the SCIU also provides merchant and repair services in the Big Empty. Anything purchased from its commissary will be delivered to the Sink via tiny robots.[3] Once his personality back-up is retrieved from Dr. Klein and re-integrated into the system,[4] 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 SCIU may offer suggestions of rest, refreshments, or the like in passing.[5]
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is also capable of controlling the operating systems and personality interfaces of the other Sink appliances on request of the Sink's owner. However, due to the loss of the original personality holotapes, this is no longer possible for the SCIU.[6] The Sink Central Intelligence Unit could regain this functionality if backup personality holotapes were to be located and installed into its console's input/output port, after which the SCIU would be able to upload the personalities into their respective appliances.[7] Even so, the SCIU considers the other personalities inferior, claiming they are "built on flawed logic" and that their services are of much better quality when their personalities are inactive.[8] It will recommend turning the personalities off if installed and be smugly pleased if commanded to do so.[6][9]
我的所有朋友们都有关闭开关：Your first objective is to install the SCIU into the Sink.

Through dialogue, the SCIU 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.
The SCIU expresses veiled irritation towards the other Sink appliances. Whenever the Courier requests for the other appliances to be either enabled or disabled, the Central Intelligence Unit begrudgingly or happily complies, respectively.[9][10] None of the other appliances have any comments about being disabled or reenabled.
If the player character is female, they can object to the SCIU calling her "sir." The SCIU will apologize and say it has no choice, claiming it was never programmed with female honorifics.[11]
If the player character discovers 25 or more locations in the Big Empty before finishing Old World Blues, the SCIU's ending slides for the Big Empty will state that the SCIU is impressed by the efforts of the Big MT's new master, and conclude that their "thorough approach to research and investigation" is worthy of its admiration. Otherwise, the SCIU's thoughts are not expressed in this set of slides.[12]
If five or more of the Sink personalities are found before finishing Old World Blues, the SCIU's ending slide for the Sink will show that the SCIU grows to be comforted by the sense of community the other personalities give it. If only two to four personalities are found, the SCIU's ending slide says it is happy that not all of them were found.[13]

The Sink Central Intelligence Unit uses the same model as the command center in both the Remnants bunker and the table at the Observation Level of the HELIOS One solar power plant. The model was also used in Raven Rock.
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit only restocks its inventory if 3 consecutive days and then midnight pass while in Big MT but outside of the Sink (waiting on The Sink Balcony or sleeping in Higgs Village, for instance). Waiting outside of Big MT will not work, however. Furthermore, the SCIU's caps restock along with the rest of its inventory. This will continue after completing Old World Blues.
Having a Roughin' It! bedroll kit can be helpful if playing on Hardcore mode, as the player can wait outside for the Sink Central Intelligence Unit to restock without losing sleep.
The Sink Central Intelligence Unit is one of only five non-player characters who can repair to 100. The others include Raul Tejada, Paladin Sato, Major Knight, and Joshua Graham, with the Sink Central Intelligence Unit also being the only one who cannot be killed or otherwise locked off from access. Additionally, the Sink Central Intelligence Unit offers the highest caps reserve for its vendor services, second only to Sergeant Contreras, which makes the SCIU one of the most versatile non-player characters in the game.
The ability of the Sink Central Intelligence to recognize and accept bottle caps as currency despite being developed before the Great War is discussed during the initial conversation with the Think Tank, where Doctor 0 reveals that Mobius initially included a line of code for it as a means of debugging the system, though Doctor Dala attests that Mobius did so because he had accurately predicted their future value in the post-War wasteland.[14]
Travis Stout wrote the Sink Central Intelligence Unit, in addition to all the other artificial personalities in the Sink.[Non-game 1]

Has platform::PC The game may crash after having any conversation with the SCIU. [已验证]
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3Has platform::Xbox 360 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. [已验证]
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3Has platform::Xbox 360 At some point in the game, the SCIU 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. [已验证]
To fix the above bugs for PlayStation 3 turn off the lights and personalities for a few days in-game.

↑The Courier: "Are you some kind of Artificial Intelligence?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Regrettably not, sir. All modules in this habitat are synthetic personalities atop a mundane operating system. There is no intelligence here, sir." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Why are there so many personality modules?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "As I am given to understand, sir, this facility was once the property of a Dr. Mobius. He crafted the personality modules as part of a collection of experiments on the subject of machine/human interface. As to the reason for the unusual choices of devices to receive the modules, I cannot say." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "What services do you provide?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "In addition to managing the personality matrices of the other household utilities, I can provide sir with direct access to the commissary. Any goods sir might require may be purchased through my shopkeep interface, whence tiny robots shall deliver them forthwith to this very domicile." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I'd like to buy some things." Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Very good, sir. If I might suggest a table wine, the 64 Atomic Claret is a lovely little vintage." "Very good, sir. And might I venture to opine that a new Trilby might be just the thing to complete sir's ensemble?" "Very good, sir. Should sir be in the market for a new suit of morning wear, I have several suggestions that might suit." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑ 6.06.1The Courier: "So I can access their functions without loading the personality holotapes?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Tragically, the core operating systems are also located on the personality tapes, sir. Once the tape is installed, sir may request I switch their dialectic interfaces off, and I shall oblige with great delectation. However, sir will still be required to locate and install a backup holotape to access their functionality." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I have some personality holotapes to install." Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Very good sir. Merely interface the holotapes with my console's input/output port, and I shall upload them directly." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "You mean there are other... personality modules here?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Indeed, sir, though if sir's aim is to activate them I lament to inform sir that most have been offline for some years. If sir were to ask my opinion, I should venture that sir is better off without them. However, if sir is determined to inflict upon sir's self their dubious services, sir might locate backup personality disks elsewhere in the facility." The Courier: "Why is that?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "The other modules are rather... erratic, sir. Their personality matrices are built on flawed logic and have not weathered the years well, sir." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑ 9.09.1The Courier: "Switch off the Sink's personality matrices." Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Very good indeed, sir. 'Throwing out the riff-raff' protocols engaged. All personality matrices are off-line, sir.}" (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Switch on the Sink's personality matrices." Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Do you, sir? Well, if that is sir's wish, it is my primary directive. Personality matrices on-line, sir.}" (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Sir? You are aware that I'm a woman, right?" Sink Central Intelligence Unit: "Indubitably, sir, but it is with a great lugubriousness that I must disclose that my programmers installed only the masculine honorific, sir. Moreover they neglected to enclose a parameter by which said honorific might be omitted altogether - over my most strenuous of remonstrances, sir." (Sink Central Intelligence Unit's dialogue)
↑Doctor 0: "*I don't know... might be some old Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla bottlecaps lying around. It... It's not 'currency' per se...* *Still, might be enough to trick the Sink's trade routines. Mobius put that test line for caps in the code as a debug command, I think.*" Doctor Dala: "I don't believe that was Mobius' reason. His wild speculation concerning post-holocaust economic systems was quite extensive. And of high decibel." (Doctor 0 and Doctor Dala's dialogue)
