"Damnit!" She shouted, tossing her wrench into the rusty tool box as she stepped away, looking at the steel frame and structure of that power armor in frustration. Another attempt, another failure to get the frame's arm back together from scratch.

It was a tough world to be in now, not that her life was hard before, but this just took the challenges in life and kicked them up to 11 just to make her life extra difficult. Leaving the vault with nothing but a jumpsuit, a degraded old pipboy, and a wrench wasn't exactly how she hoped to restart her life, but it was what she had to make do with. A few scrapes, some scavenging, and some luck to find an old Red Rocket still intact was a good start, but the real blessing was an old military grade frame of powerarmor she had found ... sans a few needed layers of protection. She agonized for days to repair it, finding parts, a spare welder, and some steel, she was close to restoring that pre-war relic to something that could make her life easier in the field. But as with all things, it was never so easy as slapping duct tape to a hinge and calling it a day.

Guzzling down that cold beverage, thanks to some tampering with an old Nuka Cola vending machine and a spare fusion battery, on a moment to think, she stared back at that frame defiantly missing its arm. It needed something, there was components she was missing and no amount of jury rigging was going to replace it.

"Screw it." She stated as she went to find her wrench. Looks like she was back to scavenging to solve this problem.

A little fun cosplay piece for Ronnie in the Fallout universe. Something of an inspiration of a recent session, putting Ronnie's spitfire brand of personality with her technical ingenuity to make a rather interesting story. Suffice to say, this piece by BlitheDragon was a great addition.
