“Between you and me, I think the Central Intelligence Unit is a bit of a snob.”
Sink is a computer residing in The Sink in Big MT in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Background[]
Like other systems in the Sink, the computerized Sink was given a personality module by Dr. Mobius but was disabled around the time he left the Think Tank for the Forbidden Zone when Dr. Klein hurled all the modules off the balcony. The Sink's ended up inside the magnetohydraulics complex where it can potentially be recovered by the Courier in 2281.[1]

Effects of player's actions[]
- Should it be reactivated before completing Old World Blues, one of the endings reveals the Sink almost floods Big MT to "clean it." It then works to try and purify the soil of toxins and restore its fertility.
- Sink, with its basic function, provides the player character with an unlimited source of clean drinking water. With the water production upgrade, it is able to fill empty bottles with water, turning them into bottles of purified water. The types of empty bottles that can be made into bottles of purified water include:
- Empty Nuka-Cola bottles
- Empty soda bottles
- Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles
- Empty whiskey bottles
- Large whiskey bottles
- Milk bottles
- Despite most of the bottle types being made of glass, the resulting purified water is always stored in a plastic bottle.
Notes[]
- In Hardcore mode, when the Sink's personality matrix is on, drinking from it will reduce Dehydration by 25 per drink. When the personality matrix is off, it reduces dehydration by 200 per drink. If the Courier also has an eligible container that can be filled and selects the choice to have it filled, the Sink gives the choice of filling the container(s) or drinking. If "drink" is chosen, hydration will be reduced by 200, not 25.
- The Sink expresses a strong dislike of the biological research station and those who interact with it due to its function involving plants and dirt-filled planters.
Notable quotes[]

- "Why, you poor dear! Come over here and have a drink, wash off some of that... horrible, sticky... blood."
- "You can have as much as you like! Just, eh... please don't put your lips on the faucet? It's so unsanitary."
- "Between you and me, I think the Central Intelligence Unit is a bit of a snob."
