Hey,
I like this so far, I haven't seen too many stories touch on the issue of a Vaultie (LW in this case) 'breaking' out in the wastes. Most of the time, LW's are slightly deranged but otherwise adjusted geniuses in their tagged skills, like science, small guns and lockpicking, or something like that. It's interesting to see an approach to the 'not a one-person-army because Author said so' mental and emotional state. If I had to pick out two key points which brought this to my attention, it would be the cavalier delivery of the line regarding Delilah's dignity, at the beginning of ch1, and the comparison between 'Vault Delilah' and 'Wastes Delilah' early in this chapter. Keep it up! :)

Your style of writing messily is respectable, because you should do you. But, may I suggest using actual quotation marks to depict dialogue? You're currently using commas and it makes it a bit hard to understand at times.
