Nothin' But a Hound Dog

Given by: The King [The King's School of Impersonation] (M6:6)

This quest can be taken only after completing [G.I. Blues] and asking about the cyberdog #1. Talk to The King and ask if there any chance to help the dog. You'll be sent to the [Old Mormon Fort] (M6B:1) where you can find Julie Farkas. Ask her if she knows how to help Rex. You'll learn that the dog needs a brain surgery along with serious fixes. These can be done by Dr. Henry but before you go to see him, return to The King (M6:6) and tell him that there is a hope for Rex. The dog will become your companion. Head to [Jacobstown] (M35:3) to meet the doctor #2.

In order to help Rex you have to find a new brain for him. There are three brains available. Each of them offers different upgrades for the dog.

	Go to the [Gibson Scrap Yard] (MsE:18) and talk to Old Lady Gibson: buy a Rey's brain for 700 caps [Barter 70] convince her to give you the brain for free kill both the dog and the lady
	Go to [The Fort] (MsE:5) and talk to Antony (M9:4): Agree to fight dog in the arena with only a machete. Take Lupa's brain.
	Go to the area near the [Poseidon Gas Station] (MsA:16). There is a Fiend called Violet along with her dog - Violetta. Kill the dog and take its brain.

Ending

Return to Dr. Henry with one of the three brains (or with all of them). Now you have to choose which brain should be implanted:

• Rey's brain increases attack damage
• Lupa's brain increases Hit Points
• Violetta's brain increases speed.
