The Think Tank

Fallout: New Vegas guide · Meeting the scientists

Upon arriving in the Big MT in the Old World Blues add-on, the player awakens in the Think Tank facility and is formally greeted by the scientists of the Think Tank. The scientists explain that the player's brain, heart, and spine have been surgically removed and ask for help in defeating their rogue colleague, Dr. Mobius. After exhausting the initial dialogue with the scientists, the player is free to leave the room, explore the facility, and step outside into the Big MT.

Tips

Speaking with all the scientists individually (such as Doctor Dala, Doctor 0, Doctor 8, and Doctor Borous) opens up multiple side quests and unlocks unique dialogue checks that offer special perks or upgrades.
A high Science or Medicine skill provides numerous dialogue options with the Think Tank doctors to bypass certain requirements or gain extra lore and items early.
