GAME JOURNALS CONTAIN SPOILERS. DEAL WITH IT PINK BOY.
On my way to collect my reward from Reilly for rescuing the Rangers, I came across a guy in an unusual predicament.
Apparently some crazy jerk with a loudspeaker had trapped him between some super mutants and a minefield.
There he is, preaching random madness with his finger on a trigger. If you look closely, you can see that there are Mini Nukes in the alley. I shot the crazy guy and collected four Mini Nukes. It was kind of a letdown that the guy who was trapped never moved on. I've been by his position weeks later and he's still on the same corner.
Eventually I found the Rangers' headquarters. Reilly offered me some armor or "one of Brick's miniguns". My armor was fine, so a unique minigun sounded cool. I didn't know she was going to give me Eugene. The connection between a soldier and their favorite weapon is a special one. I vowed to take good care of Eugene. I would use other miniguns for parts to fix him up and use him for a special purpose.
Things were going pretty good in the Capital, so I went back to the Mall. I'd cleaned out the Museum of History already. So this time I went for the Museum of Technology. I guess the game developer couldn't get clearance to use the name Smithsonian.
Maybe it's just me, but seeing a super mutant hanging out by the wreck of the Wright Brothers' plane is particularly surreal.
They also had a 50s style rocket ship and a lot of other displays which talked about the fictional history of the Fallout world. It seemed cool, but I wasn't in the mood. I decided to fight my way to Congress.
As it turned out, the fighting was already in progress. Super mutants were fighting off a Talon Company assault. Who do you root for?
Here's a picture of a TC merc running into the dome to fight a super mutant behemoth.
And here he is being crushed into lasagna filling. Blegh.
I was somewhat worried about having to fight the behemoth, but he got stuck in a wall, so it was more time consuming than dangerous. Lame.
I finally found Congress. There wasn't anyone (but some super mutants) there, which worked out as I hadn't actually prepared a speech. I would have thought there would have been some Ultimate Leadership Bomb Shelter under the building, but apparently not. I decided I was bored with D.C. and it was time to do some exploring elsewhere.
