Things That Go Boom

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
As you are walking on the New Vegas Strip, someone will come ask you to visit Ambassador Dennis Crocker at the embassy.

Crocker will ask you to get the support of the Boomers to help the NCR. Follow the map to Nellis Air Force Base and talk to Pearl to learn how to win their support.

Detailed walkthrough
After the quest is assigned to you by Ambassador Crocker, travel to Nellis Air Force Base and complete quests for the Boomers (ending with Volare!) until you have become idolized by them. See Boomers for details about completing these quests. Note: This quest is actually the same as one started by Yes Man.

Already idolized by the Boomers
If you have already become idolized by the Boomers before you speak to the Ambassador about this quest, a new dialog option will be available. In response to his question about the Boomers, you can reply "Actually, I already know them. We're good friends." When he asks if they will support the NCR, you can answer "The have promised to help me." This completes, and gains the player NCR fame.

Bugs
The guard at the gate may not challenge you, but instead stand immobile with a rocket launcher.

This quest may not be completable if you are idolized by the Boomers.
