The smoke began to clear where inside a woman in a RobCo jumpsuit appeared before them. "Oh hey, don't mind the smoke" the woman said with a smile.
Liam coughed and began to fan the smoke away with his coat "Moira what the hell happened in here?" he asked still fanning out the smoke.
"Not much just tinkering around for my book like usual" she replied sweeping up the scrap metal pieces from what was left of the machine.
"Is it always like this in here?" Gabby asked looking at the shelves of scrap and junk but what caught her eye was the vault suit hung on the wall. "Where did you get that?"
"What? The suit? Oh, it was given to me by a group of dwellers from that vault up the hill" Moira replied cleaning up the rest of the scraps.
"That's impossible, no one has ever left the vault before" she said staring at the suit with confusion.
"Looks like they never mentioned it in your classes huh? Well thats ok"
Liam was on the side looking over the shelves of ammunition and medical supplies "She is right Gabby a lot of the towns people talk about vault dwellers previously visiting Megaton" he replied grabbing a pack of rounds. "Anyways, how's the book coming along?"
"Aside from the radiation, mole rat repellent, and the settlement research you did; I still need a lot more research and notes for my book" she replied with a sigh.
"Maybe I can help you out with your book?" Gabby suggested
"Really? You'd help me out? Oh thank you gabby, and Liam can help you get to the locations" she replied ecstatically running and hugging her. "Since you're helping me with my book, have this as a gift" she then ran behind the counter and handed Gabby the vault suit "It's not much but at least it's more armored than what you're currently wearing"
Gabby took the vault suit and smiled "thank you moira, can I try it on?" she asked
Moira nodded "go ahead and use the back room before you go"
Liam nodded then placed the ammo shells and caliber rounds on the counter, then took out a pouch full of caps "500 caps that should cover it" he said petting logans head.
Moira nodded taking the caps and handing him the ammo "no microfusion cells today?" she asked with a smirk.
"Laser rifle broke a while back so I switched to my normal rifles" he replied
"I can fix it you know" She replied
"Yeah well I'm trying to learn how to fix weapons and armor better, you know don't want to spend too many caps on maintenance"
"Ok I'm ready" Gabby called stepping out from the room.
Moira smiled "Now you look ready for the wasteland" she said
"It looks good on you" Liam complimented followed by a playful bark from Logan.
Gabby smiled and nodded "So are you ready to go?" she asked fixing one of the buckles
Liam nodded "So moira where would you like for us to go first"
"Well… Since you said you needed food and I need more supplies you think you can go to the old super duper mart and look for supplies?" she asked
He looked over at Gabby for assurance and she nodded "Alright looks like were going on a grocery run then" he replied
"Well alright try and salvage as much as you can and bring it back to me ok?"
The two teenagers nodded and started to head out.
"We can get you some better weapons back at my place Gabby" said Liam as he opened the door for her and Logan.
"Ok then do you have any rifles?" she asked stepping outside
He nodded as they walked towards the large gates "Yeah, don't worry I'm sure I have something you'll like in my armory" he replied
The two walked and talked for the time being heading back to springvale where Logan ran around jumping on tire piles and wrecked cars. The two laughed at him as he continued to play around with his surroundings.
"You know for living in a wasteland I think Logan wouldn't want it to be any other way" he said scratching Logan's neck.
Gabby nodded "Come on you two we need to get inside before it gets too dark"
He nodded and let them both inside "Alright then let's get to work" said Liam cracking his knuckles. Gabby nodded and the two entered his workshop to find some weapons for her. Logan laid down in the back of the house enjoying the sunlight. The two worked for hours making sure that they had everything before setting out to the wasteland in search for the super duper mart and the treasures concealed inside…
