When that magnificently disgusting beast burst into the hallway, the first thing Loretta had done was step in front of the twins. If that thing was headed after them, they'd have to take half a ton of shot first. She would have fired at the tentacle monster, were it not for Jynx and Becca being in its grasp. She couldn't risk hitting either of them with the shot while aiming for the creature.<br/><br/>Darion's show of heroism would have made Loretta roll her eyes at him diving into a rather stupid situation, just as she did with the deathclaws back at the canyon. Fair enough though, she figured. If she got a free 'Stupid Act of the Day' card, he should get one himself. He did his job well enough as well, it seemed; the beast wasn't moving anymore. Whether or not it was actually dead was of less matter than keeping the others from getting like that themselves. Following through with such thoughts, Loretta whipped around at Fanya, who she hadn't noticed firing so much at the thing. When she dropped, Loretta slid over to her in a flash, and dug into her bag quickly and immediately to pull out one of her Nuka-Cola Quantums. Opening it with her teeth, she cradled Fanya's head in one hand while she poured the cola down Fanya's throat. "<span style="color: purple">C'mon, work, you bottle of rat piss,</span>" she murmured. The cola should perk Fanya right up and help staunch whatever on her was bleeding.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
