You're always yelling, my receptors can't take it anymore - AND NEITHER CAN MY FEELINGS!
”Doctor 0 is a pre-War scientist operating in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
Edit
Doctor 0 is a pre-War doctor that became a think tank to continue his work at Big MT. Doctor 0's scientific specialty is in robots, both in construction and deconstruction. He also has a large hatred for Mr. House and built Muggy with the intent of mocking House's securitrons.
Upon dialogue with Dr. 0, the player discovers that his name is not Doctor O, but Doctor 
(Zero), and everybody has been reading his name wrong.

Notable quotesEdit
- "I can render anything inoperable. Preserve them in a non-functioning state."
- "Breaking news: talking lobotomite arrives in think tank. Its purpose? Unknown. Undefinable. Its presence here? Unpossible."
- "You're always yelling, my receptors can't take it anymore - AND NEITHER CAN MY FEELINGS!"
- "Ding...turkey's done."
- "Ten? Borous... why the hell did you install an atomic core!? It'll blow when we reach "one" right?"
- "Oh, really Borous? All you did in High School was commie fink-tattletale on all the kids you hated, you little teachers-pet brownhound!"
NotesEdit
- Appropriately, his house in Higgs Village is #00.
- He has a portrait of Mr. House in his home at Higgs Village that has several knives thrown at it. The portrait is identical to the one in the House Resort, only smaller.
- He has a bigger mouth in comparison to his partners.
- You can tell him if you are working for House, or if you killed House. His subsequent quote is a reference to the comparison of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison where Tesla died poor and lonely and Edison died rich, with Dr. 0 hoping that House would share the fate of Tesla.
AppearancesEdit
Doctor 0 appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Old World Blues.
Behind the scenesEdit
- James Urbaniak also plays the voice of Dr. Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture of The Venture Bros.
- If you have the Wild Wasteland trait active, one of his broadcast messages across the crater asks the lobotomites to please remember to clean the walking eye. This is another reference to the Venture Bros. With Wild Wasteland, these walking eyes also appear in the magnetohydraulics complex, although the player cannot interact with them.
- Both names, 0 (number) and O (letter) are infinitely looping figures, which goes along with the naming theme of the Think Tank Scientists.
- Dr. 0's personality was originally intended to be a frenetic, hyperactive newscaster type, but was re-written to a "scientist-who's-aware-he's-not-brilliant-or-valued". This can still be seen when talking to him before the main quest is finished.
- An early version of the concept behind Dr. 0 was due to appear in the cut Fallout 2 location The Environmental Protection Agency. In this version "Hologram 00000" is the director of science for the facility and possesses Dr 0's communication style.
