Detailed walkthrough
After being teleported to Big MT, the Courier will be standing on the balcony of the Sink, facing outwards towards the expanse of the Big Empty. Enter the nearest door into the Sink. Proceed to the elevators. Enter the right elevator to go to The Think Tank. Note that this is the only elevator that can be used at the moment. Due to an overwhelming feeling of pacifism, the Courier won't be able to draw a weapon in the Think Tank. This is so they will not be able to harm the doctors, which is a failsafe put in place after an attack on the Think Tank by Elijah, which led to Dr. 8's voice module being damaged, and the destruction of the Big Empty's multiple train tunnels. When the Courier approaches the doctors, they will address the Courier, and the Courier will learn about Big MT, the various changes they have made to their body, and about Doctor Mobius.
After agreeing to help the doctors against Mobius, they will assign the Courier to the Sink Central Intelligence Unit.
Through various conversation options, the Courier will be able to talk the doctors into giving various items to help in the Courier's quest. The scientists give the sonic emitter - revelation. With an Energy Weapons check of 50, more ammunition for it will be given. With a successful Guns check, also of 50, the scientists also give the Courier the K9000 cyberdog gun; with a Guns check of 75, more ammunition for it will be given. Other items include doctor's bags, stimpaks, bottle caps, and various skill magazines, after successful Barter checks of 25, 50, 75, and 90.

20 | | Speak to your... captors. |
30 | | Get the X-2 antenna brain array thing, the sonic-soundwave-projecto-emitter spine thing... and the sneaky heart suit. |
40 | | Correction: They have the sonic... projecto... emitter gun. They need a new frequency for it. |
50 | | Correction: So get the X-2 antenna brain array thing... the new frequency for the sonic emitter, and the sneaky heart suit. |
60 | | Correction: Wait, there's another optional sonic emitter frequency that disables Force Fields that's not the frequency they need...? Ugh, forget it. |
70 | | Closing out these entry logs, clearing the utility partition. |
Notes
- The Think Tank cannot be exited until the quest is finished.
- If no dialogue is skipped, this sequence can take up to 30 minutes, depending on what the player says.
- The new perks Brainless, Heartless and Spineless are added the moment the Big MT is entered. The pop-ups telling the player that the perks were added will not appear until the dialogue with the doctors, but the perks will be in the Pip-Boy and will be fully functional.
