So, San Fran.
Explored the place thoroughly before starting anything. I found a vendor in Chinatown who has lots of Stimpaks and several First Aid Books and Scout Handbooks and a few others to raise my skills with, and I noticed his items are changed/restocked almost everytime I leave and come back, so I traded nearly all of my useless gear to books and stimpaks.
I talked to a guy without a spleen, but soon forgot where I was supposed to look for it and even though I talked to everyone in San Fran I never found anyone with dialogue options regarding it. I'm afraid the man might be dead now, as that quest is timed (duh!).
Talked to the Brother of Steel and agreed to get the vertibird documents. Snuck in Navarro and met a guy with a radio who intended to inform his people about me. I told him it was a bad idea, and I proved myself right in just one combat turn and a burst fire later.

Freed the walkin' talkin' livin' walkin'... talking deathclaw, killed the scientist guy and fixed K-9 and then killed the commander or whoever, as he found out I was picking his locker lock. Then I killed the guard outside his room. Then I killed 2 more guards, some Enclaver in power armor and two tech-geeks. Left Snookie and her boyfriend alive, though, since they never attacked me. I also left the locker with the FOB alone after several dozen failed unlocking attepts with a total of 65% lockpick skill.
Popped in the Cafe of Broken Dreams on my way back. Fallout 2 is great.
Came back to San Fran and gave the plans to the Brother, and used ACE to raise my Charisma. It's now 8, so I can get me a fourth companion now. Yes, yes, I originally put 7 points to Charisma instead of strength and intelligence, but if you start creating a character for Fallout 2 to make it the best all around character considering the game enviroments and possible upgrades, you're playing Fallout 2 wrong. Fallout 2 is not a game, it's a roleplaying adventure where nothing you do or choose is the wrong way to play. Except playing it like an ordinary game, that's wrong. Everything else is fine.
I sold my loot away again and went to see the Emperor's main man. He told me to kill the hubbologists after I had shown him the same vertibird plans that I gave to the Brotherhood of Steel, and so I went to the hubbologists base to meet the AHS-9.
25 dead.

I met the emperor, nice fellow by the way, and then... well, I... don't think I did much else. Sold more loot and bought more books and ammo. Oh, and I did try fighting Dragon's men again, and nearly beat number 5 also. Guess what, the game crashed just before beating him! It actually crashes somewhat a lot, usually if there's been a long and messy combat. I haven't mentioned it before because it hasn't bothered me, usually only happened after a fight I would've wanted to redo anyway or after I have already saved (I save often), but this time I was so close to getting somewhere and then it crashed. Crap.
Gonna go to New Reno to box before retrying Dragon and his crew. I hear New Reno boxing awards some damage resistance or something, and that's always good.
