"Some of us have - we'll handle it."

Nod.

"I feel kind of useless here, honestly."

Wryly: "You were pretty useful with that power armor, and getting the core for it. Sturges is our best on hacking and he couldn't touch it. And you had a lead on a place to stay."

"What're your main skills?"

"Programming. AI, mostly."

"That's not something there's often a lot of call for, but that means it's pretty rare, and then people end up really in need.  Like, there's some old bots around, a lot of them malfunctioning now."

"So low volume, high price."

Little smile. "Might mean moving around a bit, if you want to keep yourself busy."

"Nothing's really tying me down at the moment. But moving around seems dangerous these days."

"Everything is. But - settlements are normally the safest alternative."

"Guess I could stick around for a while. Show you where the rose gardens were."

"It'd be helpful - and if you want to stretch your legs after, we can give you a jumping off point."

"Yeah. Dunno that I want to try to be busy with that right away. Be good to get my feet underneath me first."

"We'd be happy to help you with that."

"Appreciate it."

Smile. "No problem at all."

Then time to get people moving?

Yeah.

"You keeping the power armor and gun?"

"Seems the most expedient way to even the odds."

He laughs. "We'll set up a secure place to dock it when you're not in it, then."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

But for now, she'll stay in it to show the way back to Sanctuary Hills.

It'd be hard to move otherwise. 

Sanctuary Hills is much the same as she left it earlier, and the settlers make appreciative noises about it. 

Should have seen it back when it had running water.

Not too many places have that anymore! Diamond City does, a lot of places, but it's rare in other settlements. 

(Or. Well. Potable running water.)
