↑The Courier: "Tell me about the Boomers." Robert House: "They occupied Nellis Air Force Base a little over 50 years ago. One of my Securitrons got some video of their arrival - and then... exploded. Odds are they were Vault dwellers. That's everything I know about them, really." (Robert House's dialogue)
↑ 3.03.13.23.33.43.5Pete: "Ages ago, long before I was born, we lived underground. Everyone had guns but the overseer wouldn't let us explode anything, not even a hand grenade. We left and wandered the wastes. There were savages with knives. We blew them up with frag mines and grenades, burned them with flamethrowers. It was neat, but there was a downside. For every 43.6 savages we killed, we lost one of our own. We needed a new home. We needed Nellis. Nellis, glittering like shrapnel in the desert sun. Nellis, bursting with missiles, warheads, and bombs. Nellis had waited. Just for us. Here, we have prospered and multiplied. Here, our mighty guns destroy any savages who might try to harm us before they can even reach our gates! Well, until... but... not saying you want to harm us or you're a savage, but... anyways. Nellis has revealed many secrets. It has taught us how to fly the bombers once based here. And it has taught us where to find one! And that is our story so far, for this last image is our future. To restore the bomber, to fly the open skies in armored safety, raining high-explosive ordnance upon ignorant savages - this is our destiny! I'm pleased that you listened to the entire story! Perhaps there are details you'd like to know more about? Let me know." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Why did your ancestors leave the safety of a vault?" Pete: "So you know about the vaults! Yes, we lived in one of those. Ours was numbered 34. In our vault, everyone had guns - but the overseer wouldn't let you fire off any of the really fun ones. I guess all the little pops and bangs at the firing ranges just got boring after a while!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I'm surprised Nellis was empty when your people found it." Pete: "Several atomic warheads detonated here hundreds of years ago, leaving the base highly radioactive. The savages of the wastes, ignoramuses, all avoided Nellis by habit." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "But a little radiation didn't keep your people away!" Pete: "That's right! Our Geiger counter indicated that the base was radioactive, but not dangerously so. Enough time has passed." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Kind of stupid, making a radioactive scrapheap your home." Pete: "For your information, our people had brought Geiger counters with them from the vault. The radiation levels here were within safe limits. Also for your information, Nellis is not a scrapheap! We repaired most of the damage here long ago. Nellis is comfy!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑ 8.08.1The Courier: "What are howitzers doing at an Air Force Base?" Pete: "You're right, they weren't here when we discovered Nellis! We found the guns at a huge weapon depot called Area 2, many miles from here! It took many weeks to drag the guns and their ammunition back to Nellis - and it was the last time any of us set foot beyond our homeland!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "The Boomers sound dangerous." Robert House: "Only if you come within a mile or so of them. Given their history of extreme isolationism, it's tempting to leave them be. But those howitzers of theirs... You can't let indeterminate variables rattle around in your equations like that. They have to be accounted for, one way or another." (Robert House's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "How did you learn where to find an old bomber?" Pete: "Loyal found a file somewhere on the base, with magazine articles, photographs, a map, even. It seems that a bomber, apparently the 29th of its kind, crashed in Lake Mead on July 21st, 1948. Just imagine - that's over 300 years ago! The photographs showed that it was basically intact, and the map tells us exactly where to find it. Except we haven't left Nellis in decades." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Keep dreaming. That plane's never going to fly." Pete: "As I said, repairing and flying the bomber is our destiny. It's that simple." (Pete's dialogue)
↑ 12.012.1The Courier: "How has Nellis taught your people to fly?" Pete: "Once we restored power, we learned that some elaborate chairs we'd been sleeping in were actually virtual reality simulators. We believe they were used to train combat pilots. We use them extensively. I alone have shot down over 500 Chinese Xian-85 fighters! Before you ask, I'm afraid there's no way you can be allowed to use the simulators. They are for our use only. Sorry." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Mother Pearl said you have a 'bug problem?' " Raquel: "Long story short, the power failed a few days ago because giant ants have tunneled into the generator room and set up a nest. I led a team down to exterminate them, but there were... so many of them. We lost two killed, three wounded. Personally, I think it's more than a savage can handle, but if you want to kill those ants and switch the power back on, feel free." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I can handle a few ants." Raquel: "Sure, anyone can. But there's more than a few down there. See for yourself. One other thing. The ants must be eating gunpowder from the munitions down there, or something. They exploded when hit by a flamethrower. One of us was using a laser pistol - same thing. Bullets seem okay, just don't hit the artillery shells. Loyal's been working on some kind of weapon to use against them. Maybe you should check with him." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑ 15.015.1The Courier: "Who is Mother Pearl?" Raquel: "As I said, she is our Eldest. Mother Pearl has lived at Nellis from the start, and has the wisdom of her age. She said this day would come, and that any savage to reach our gates should be brought to her." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑ 16.016.1The Courier: "The ingenuity of your people is remarkable." Pete: "Thank you. Our self-sufficiency is a point of pride." (Pete's dialogue)
↑ 17.017.117.2The Courier: "How do you survive, totally cut off from the world?" Pete: "Nellis is a completely self-sufficient community! We draw water from Lake Mead, solar arrays provide power, and we grow our own crops!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Are you going to confiscate my weapons?" Raquel: "Confiscate your weapons? Certainly not! Personal armament is the foundation of social trust and responsibility." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Your people are a determined bunch." Pete: "Yes, there's just about nothing we won't do to get our hands on some explosive ordnance!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Yeah, any detonation with a yield of less than a half-ton of TNT is boring." Pete: "[SUCCEEDED] Exactly! We haven't detonated any atomic warheads since before I was born, but besides that, to heck with nitpicky restrictions!" (Pete's dialogue)
↑Raquel: "I'll take this from here!I'm Raquel, Master-At-Arms for the Nellis homeland. Mother Pearl, our Eldest, wishes to speak to you." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑ 22.022.1The Courier: "What happens when they come of age?" Boomer teacher: "All of us are trained in combat and farming from a very early age. When we reach adulthood, we serve in whatever capacity we are best suited." (Boomer teacher's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "What's a Master-At-Arms?" Raquel: "I oversee the security of the Nellis homeland, from the coordination of its defenses to the training and fitness of its population." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Good to hear. The wasteland is no place for children." Boomer teacher: "I agree. That is why we do everything we can to teach the children from birth to defend themselves and serve the tribe." (Boomer teacher's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Tell me about the Boomers." Caesar: "The Boomers settled at the old air base northeast of Vegas many years ago. No one knows exactly how long it's been. It may be that no one's traded with them or even spoken to them that entire time. If so, they're sitting on one hell of a stockpile of ammunition..." The Courier: "Don't you know anything about their society?" Caesar: "My scouts have seen people moving around the base. The perimeter is guarded, with spotters in towers directing the artillery fire. They must have extraordinary vision. Some of my scouts were targeted at extreme distances. So no, I can't tell you what to expect inside the base. No one's been inside it, except them." (Caesar's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "She works for the Crimson Caravan." Pearl: "She's with those traders? They've tried to contact us before, but I'm not interested in trading with greedy savages. This presents a bit of a problem. Jack isn't allowed to leave Nellis, and I doubt she would make it through the artillery alive." (Pearl's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I guess poor nutrition could explain a lot of your behavior." Pete: "Our nutrition is not deficient! We supplement our diet of grains and vegetables with soy and legumes for protein." (Pete's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "I can teach how to make jacketed hollow points and other specialized ammo." Boomer teacher: "[SUCCEEDED] Wow, our stockpiles mostly included full metal jacket. I should start a reloading class for the children to learn how to make ammunition!" (Boomer teacher's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Oh the stories I could tell you about fixing stuff with duct tape and bubble gum!" Boomer teacher: "[FAILED] Right... when we repair stuff, we tend to use welding torches and plasma cutters. I think I still with Loyal and Jack for repair knowledge." (Boomer teacher's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Anything else I can help out with?" Raquel: "The next time you leave Nellis, keep an eye out for missiles. We're down to a five-year supply for our launchers." (Raquel's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Where should I look for spare parts?" Loyal: "Ha! If we had spare parts, do you think I'd be asking you to fix the damn things? That's rich. No, we ran out of spares a while back, and Jack and I have been doing our best to patch the arrays up as best we can. Sadly, we're at our wit's end. There have to be spare parts somewhere around the wasteland, but I just don't know where to direct you. You may have noticed we don't get out much." (Loyal's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Tell me again what I need to do." Loyal: "I wish you'd paid attention the first time! All you need to do is attach the deployable ballast to the plane. Some of my robots will carry a remote activation station out to the shore. Attach the ballast, hit a button, and they'll handle the rest." (Loyal's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Your plan worked. The plane floated up. Seemed to be intact." Loyal: "That's tremendous! I'll transmit instructions to the robots to start packing up the plane to bring it back to Nellis!" (Loyal's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Are you and your people still ready to help in the upcoming battle at Hoover Dam?" Pearl: "We have our ears on the radio waves. When the fighting starts you can count on our air support." (Pearl's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Can I get a code to use the VR pods in the mess hall?" Loyal: "No. Those aren't for outsiders to use. Leave them alone." (Loyal's dialogue)

↑ 2.02.12.2Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p.43: "Boomers At the beginning of the war, Nellis Air Force Base scrambled an enormous number of fighters and bombers to respond to the missile launch. None of those planes ever returned. Additionally, despite the best efforts of a man named Mr. House, some of the missiles that struck the greater Las Vegas area impacted Nellis. As a result, Nellis was not an attractive site for scavengers for over a hundred years after the war. Fifty years ago, a group of Vault 34's dissidents struck out on their own and started using Nellis as a base. Over a long period of time, they eventually decided to call Nellis their home. They learned a great deal of information from the records at Nellis and used that information to open the weapons storehouses at (currently unknown locations called) Area 2 and the Hawthorne Army Depot. The result of their efforts was an enormous stockpile of heavy ordnance, artillery, and small nuclear weapons. Due to the tribes paranoia, hostility, and excessive reverence for explosives, the New Vegas locals started calling them 'Boomers.' The Boomers didn't mind the name as long as it meant people kept their distance. No matter who approaches them (Mr. House, the Vegas families, NCR, or Caesar), the Boomers have the same response: artillery. While the Boomers' attitude has kept away trouble, all of the major players around New Vegas want to get on the tribe's good side. People simply have no idea how to accomplish that. As far as all intelligence indicates, the Boomers have a clean water supply from Lake Mead, power from solar panels inside the base, and thriving farms that they've learned to develop 'the hard way' over the decades they've been in the base. Once, the NCR attempted to shut off the Boomers' water supply. The Boomers' response was to shell sections of the NCR's water pipeline in eastern New Vegas. The NCR promptly restored the flow. In the months that followed that experiment, no one has tried to approach the Boomers, which is just how they like it." (Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide faction profiles)
