You bet your ass the moment Elle spotted one of those things, that she tried to lure it back out of its hiding spot. It isn't like she doesn't always carry food with her out of habit, anyway. Between the good old banana yucca trick she learned in Zion and her weird way with animals, she has the thing crawling into her bag as somewhere to hide instead. And then? She takes it to her room.
She will kiss him and love him and squeeze him and hug him and call him George.
Well. Okay, she's not calling him George. She's calling him Bob. You know, short for Shishkabob? Like, "squirrel on a stick"?... look, it's funny in the wasteland. Anyway, the point is, Elle has a new pet. And she's very, very happy about it. She lets it live behind her weird pod bed and leaves boxes of potato crisps and Sugar Bombs open for it.
She tries not to worry too much when fuzzy, mammalian-looking Bob weaves himself a cocoon. Hey, he's an alien squirrel, right? Alien squirrels are allowed to weave cocoons. She ends up getting herself all excited instead, wondering what he's going to turn into.
...
So... Elle may be standing in the hallway outside of her room, trying to barricade the door. She's got, like, a chair. And that's about it. Her eyes are wide as saucers as something throws itself against the other side of the door. There may or may not be the sound of claws scraping down the metal.
"Bob, no! Be good! Sit! Heel!" The thing on the other side of the door roars. Or... something. It's hard to know what word to use to describe alien animal shouting. Elle yells back, "Bad Bob!"

Alright, so this entire thing is like something out of a bad Pre-War sci-fi holofilm. Or... Maybe, a good one? This spaceship is pretty freaking cool. Whenever Elle encounters tech that's new to her -- which is pretty frequently -- she can't help but think to herself, oh, the Think Tank would love this. And then she's deeply grateful that a Think Tank didn't get transported in with her. That... yeah. Let's just sum that up with a big hearty "that'd be bad" and move on.
Cue Elle sticking her nose into absolutely everything. The observation deck holds a particular marvel for her, given the way it drives home, without a shadow of a doubt, that she really is in outer space. With the stars and the vast blackness and everything. "This is way too cool," she'll utter, but she doesn't stay calm for long. It only takes a short moment for her to start literally bouncing, because this is way too cool! Even in the face of everything else about this, how can she not be excited about space?
The gardens are another favorite spot of hers. Look at that tree! Look at all of these plants! Are some of these crops, even? Once again, she gets swept up in her excitement, because she'll whirl to look at the nearest person and exclaim, "Hey! Do you know much about these? Like, if any of them might grow well in a desert?"
And, of course, there are all the hallways between, and all the other sights there are to see. Elle is going to explore all of it, and with so much enthusiasm.
