Nothin' But a Hound Dog: You may approach Old Lady Gibson about using Rey's brain in Rex. She will ask for 700 caps for this "favor" as he's like one of her family. She says he's getting old and he would probably need to be put down soon anyways. It's free with a Barter check (70). After you kill him, you can use his brain for Rex. Using Rey's brain on Rex will increase Rex's ferocity in battle.
ED-E My Love: Talking to Gibson will activate ED-E's first audio log.
