"Star Paladin Cross, what does the Brotherhood of Steel believeThe door opens on concrete dust and swirling wind. It's nasty out there in the ruins of Washington DC just now. This is probably why Ellen is in such a hurry to get into the Bar

Ellen hears the voice before she sees anyone.

"Let me help you with that."

John reaches down and takes the massive weapon off of Ellen's hands. He came from slightly to the side and behind her, so she didn't see him approach. Spartans are quiet for their size.

Though he's not in his power armor, he's strong enough to hold the gun with one hand without effort. "You want this somewhere specific?" he asks.

"Whoof." Ellen staggers to the left a moment in overcompensation as the gun is lifted away. "Thank you. Hi, John. Um- no, anywhere that'll keep it out of the way is good. It's not loaded, I checked that before I left."

"Maybe I'll keep it," the Spartan says, slinging the weapon over his shoulder.

"Well, if you want," Ellen says. "I mean, there's another one on the other side of the door, Star Paladin Cross already claimed it. I mostly brought this one here because I was hoping to find somebody who could replicate the electron charge packs that thing runs on before we go any further. God knows it's more gun than I can handle."

"...damn, Miss Park," Trudy breathes out at the sight of the weapon.

Someone is impressed.

Of course, said someone is also on her feet and more then willing to provide assistance, should it be needed.

Ellen flashes a strained grin. "Hi there," she offers in reply. "Um, don't mind me- I need to put this thing down somewhere. No wonder the Enclave guys wear power armor. Dogmeat, move."

The grey and black dog skitters out of the way as Ellen unceremoniously deposits the main gun on the nearest available patch of floor, then shrugs her way out of the power pack.

"Wow that's so much better. Um. Sorry about that. Guess what gun I'm not going to be using."

"What the hell does it do?"

Her fingers are itching to pick it up and try it; she restrains that impulse.

"Gatling laser," says Ellen. "The only fully automatic energy weapon I've ever seen. Hold the trigger down and the barrels each fire in sequence until you let go of the trigger or the electron charge pack runs out. Too bad it's too big for me to make much use of it, but I know someone who can."

You gotta love a world that's not entirely clear on the concept of transistors but builds monster laser guns.
