Skynet is an artificial intelligence created from a human brain at the Sierra Army Depot, managing the unit's security system. Skynet wants to escape. To do so, he needs a host brain. The brains he inserts determine his stats.

Obtaining a host brain from the Depot requires a Science skill level of 125%. Skynet is capable of self-repair and is a skilled marksman. His distinguishing feature is that instead of healing with Doctor, First Aid, and Stimpaks, he requires repairs.

Myron is a young genius from New Reno, a self-taught chemist who invented a unique drug—Jet—for the Mordino family. The family values ​​their primary source of income highly and carefully guards Myron, hiding him in the basement of a drug factory located near New Reno. There are two ways to gain entry: either as a messenger, hired by the Mordinos, or, if your character is a pretty girl, as an object for the "smart guy's" excessive lust (to do this, you need to speak with the owner of the Cat's Paw brothel).

Myron's significant drawbacks are his complete incompetence in combat and his insistent emphasis on his own importance, but he can also be useful. First, in collaboration with the protagonist, who has a high Science skill, he can develop an antidote to Jet.

Secondly, he can create Stimpaks and even Super Stimpaks from common ingredients. Thirdly, he can be useful to characters with under-leveled science. If you're willing to tolerate him to meet these needs, he can become a permanent member of the team.
