How long had it been since Curie had been released from Vault 81? And how long had it been since she’d last gone back?
It felt like it had been forever for both. Ever since she’d parted ways with Pendleton, the days had been a blur - life in the wasteland was so exciting, especially compared to her previous life, so she’d barely had time to focus on the time, or date. That, and… her internal clock had stopped functioning about twenty years ago.
Her return to Vault 81 had been halted very suddenly however, but the appearance of a Deathclaw, not 20 feet from the entrance. She’d…really wanted to examine it up close, but apparently the things attacked anything that moved, because she’d taken a nasty swipe to the side before deciding to leave as fast as possible.
So, a floating, metal orb, flying at high speeds, all three eyes facing behind her to make sure the beast isn’t following her, so it can’t add to the three wide gashes in her chassis. What could go wrong?
Well, with Pendleton in her path of destruction, apparently a lot. Heads up buddy.
