In the Mojave Desert near Gun Runners shop in New Vegas a few days later.

3rd POV

The screen remained dark with the sounds of someone muffling something as they worked tinker around with something metallic.

"What are you doing?" A stern young female voice asked.

"There Weiss." Ruby calmly said.

"Just rebooting ED-E's systems. Poor guy must have blown a fuse when we were kidnaped." Another female voice relies in a more childlike tone.

"And there you dolt." Weiss commented.

"Well, whatever you doing hurry up, I can't hold onto these guns for long you dolt." The other voice remarks as she struggles with something.

"Hang on, almost done, and there it's good as new." As soon as she said "there" the screen turned on. Along the side was a green lined covering the screen except for the center cutout in an oval eye shape. In the eye you can see Ruby's face nearly pressed against the screen.

A little jump came from everyone at the sight of Ruby's face so close to the screen, which did cause some laughs at the surprise.

"ED-E are you ok?" Ruby asked as she pressed her face against the screen. As she does so ED-E's robotic scanners start to kick in and screen it's surroundings. A label scans Ruby with a simple conclusion written in the upper right corner of the screen. Hyper Annoyance.

"Hey!" Ruby complained, gaining some snickers from her friends and sister.

"I'm sure it will be fine if you don't smother it you dolt." Weiss scolds as she quickly grabs Ruby by the cheek and pulls her away from the screen. ED-E then scans her before coming to a different conclusion of the new child. Bossy Annoyance.

"Hey!" Weiss said with a glare at the screen as this time Ruby joins the snickering.

As Weiss scolds Ruby ED-E starts to get annoyed by their bickering and starts to beep. "Weak Beep, Boop, Beep... Sick realization Beep, Boop, Beep!" (Ugh, why did you wake me up, oh dear god there's one who is flat chested. That means she is even more annoying!"

The room became quiet as everyone turns to Weiss as a large vein is shown on her head.

"What did that trash can say?" Weiss asked with an unexplained urge to scrap ED-E.

"Beep, Boop, Beep." ((Sigh) Silver lining, you also can't understand, flat chest meat bag.)

"I'm going to tear that sentient garbage can!" Weiss shouted.

"Oh, he's just saying hello... I think." Ruby guessed incorrectly. This didn't help Weiss, if anything she now feels even more irritated than before by it.

"I fully agree with you, Weiss!" Nora calls out gaining laughs from those from the first act, well the 'newcomers' not getting the joke.

The screen pulls out to reveal that ED-E was laying on a picnic table near the ruins of south Vegas. As it boots up it became apparent that Ruby and Weiss are no longer wearing the tattered clothes of the Sierra Madre. For starters Ruby now had her iconic red cape back on, granted it was a bit musty and a few months had gotten to it. Despite the few holes she now was wearing her vault jumpsuit with a few pieces of the Sierra Madre armor now attached to her leg and left arm. Weiss however had something much different then Ruby. She had on a dirty decaying white button up shirt around her neck was a red tie that's tip had rotten away. Covering her body was the bullet proof vest from the Sierra Madre armor along with its knee pads and arm guards. Her hair was still dirty and slightly greasy but was now starting to return to its pristine condition, even had it tied in her usual sideways ponytail. To help with the desert heat she wore Deans Shades to help.
