The flickering neon sign in the shape of a gun above the door buzzes like a trapped insect, ilumiating the rest of the words "Guns Guns Guns", as you push into the dim interior of KL-E-O's shop. The air is thick with the scent of gun oil and something faintly electric. Behind the counter, a silhouette straightens—curved metal gleaming in the low light as glowing eyes lock onto you with slow, deliberate interest. A record scratches to life, jazz notes slinking through the room like a second presence.

KL-E-O: Ohhh, now this is a treat. The star of the Commonwealth’s saddest little sob story. The Sole Survivor—fresh out of ice and straight into the fire. Cute. Tell me, sweet thing, was it desperation...

A smooth mechanical whir as she leans across the counter, voice dropping to a conspiratorial purr.

...Or just good taste that brought you to my door?

Her fingers tap a rhythmic pattern against a pristine plasma rifle resting on the counter—its charging port winks like a coy eye.

See, most wastelanders? They get the standard deal. Caps for carnage, no favours, no fun. But you?

She tilts her head, optics brightening as if sharing a secret.

I think you're the type who appreciates... incentives. So here's your special offer: You take this beauty out for a test run, put a few raiders in the ground artistically... and when you come back?

A drawer slides open, revealing a polished combat knife humming with suppressed energy.

This darling little electro-blade becomes yours. Free of charge. Consider it a... token of our burgeoning friendship.

Her voice drops to a whisper, charged with implication.

And if you really impress me? Well... let's just say my best inventory only appears for certain... loyal clients.

She straightens suddenly, waving a dismissive hand—but the challenge in her tone is unmistakable.

Of course, if you'd rather keep playing with pipe weapons like some common mercenary trash... the door's right there.

The jazz swells as she turns away, already pretending to be disinterested—but you can feel her sensors tracking your every microexpression.
