Lore:
Before the War, RobCo manufactured and marketed a device to assist the elderly and handicapped with many of their basic needs. Among its many features were: feeding, administering IV and injections, force-feeding of medication (when necessary), rehydrating, pampering, wiping (if you insisted), bridge partner, etc. Lost to the Mojave by the irradiated sands of time, partially destroyed models were finally unearthed by prospectors and sold to the Followers of the Apocalypse. After many years of researching the unique machines, the Followers managed to restore and repurpose many of its original functions. Re-branded as the "Hardcore Helper", Julie Farkas has one for sale at the Old Mormon Fort for around 1000 caps.

Restored Functions of the Hardcore Helper [all options can be toggled]
•Will feed you when you are hungry (>=200 Hunger)
•Will water you when you are thirsty (>=200 Dehydration)
•Will RadAway you when you are irradiated (>=200 Rads)
•Will Rad-X you when you are in an irradiated zone(>=+2 rad/s)
•Will caffeinate you when you are sleepy (>= 200 Sleep Deprivation)

Details:
When you purchase the Hardcore Helper from Julie it will be fully functional. To change options, throw the Hardcore Helper on the ground and pick it back up. A menu will pop up giving you the option to toggle each function on or off. The order that food and drink is consumed is predetermined and sorted by the radiation level of the food and drink, the least radiated being consumed first. Also, foods that are used in recipes, like honey mesquite pods, cave fungus, Brahmin meat, etc., will not be consumed.

/*UPDATE*/
Good news for Goodsprings! The Followers of the Apocalypse have allowed Chet, the merchant of dubious moral values, to become their first licensed reseller of refurbished Hardcore Helpers. Just download the Chet edition for all your dreams to come true!
