It is COLD outside.
And WET.
And there are LUMPS OF GRAYISH STUFF lying around that used to be WHITE STUFF and are now just COLD AND WET AND WEIRD.
Ellen is not really sure how to respond to that. The closest she's ever seen to slush has been the contents of a Vault walk-in freezer when there's been a malfunction, and the coldest she's ever been has been during the moments when she's had to go into said walk-in to grab something for mass food preparation. Winter thaws are very, very strange, and she is not at all sure she likes them.
On the other hand, she's got to test that mole rat stick for Moira, and there are things in the Wasteland other than mole rats. She'd like to be able to deal with them effectively so that she doesn't wind up dead before ever getting to look for her father in earnest. The repellent stick won't do her much good against more men from Talon Company, assuming there are more of them, so the way she sees it, she's going to need a quick-draw weapon- and she's found one that's better than her silenced pistol. It's just that she's never used it very much before, so...
So there is a young woman in a Vault 101 jumpsuit (her body armor does very little to keep her arms warm) out at the target range, doing her level best to ignore the fact that she is OUTSIDE and COLD and SURROUNDED BY COMPLETELY WEIRD STUFF as she practices with her newly-acquired laser pistol. She's pretty good at it, as long as she doesn't start thinking about being, y'know, outside.
