I'm almost sure it's Meese. Like Goose and Geese.
Moose is a New World native word, and as such it was adopted into English well past the linguistic changes(I-mutation, Great Vowel Shift) that led to goose/geese forms. Its plural has largely resisted change by analogy, so it remains moose.

The plural of 'moose' is 'brutal death'.

I've just found a LMOE shelter and a lot of useful stuff. Unfortunately a flaming eye gave me the ursine vision mutation, which makes exploring difficult. What is the easiest way to get some purifier?

IIRC, unless you've got crazy good cooking skills, you're probably best off exploring a lab.

Is there bulletproof glass?

Cause the best way to deal with turrets is to drive through them going 800mph.

And how are you going to get a rocket car(car rocket?) into a underground lab? I think office complexes are the only thing that even pretends to have a ramp into the underground part(and no, it's not real, the mechanism to open the shutter is always broken).

The best way I can think of with a starting character is to open the door from an angle, and toss a pipe bomb or five in.

Dismantle and rebuild the car underground.

Turn off your flashlight, and throw stuff at them from beyond shooting range.

Make a drill tank that is thin, 99% heavy frame and military composite armor, built in a nearby subway, get up to speed in the subway and smash yer way through the rock or lab sewer access into the lab itself then run over the turret.

...Or, ya know, turn off yer flashlight and shoot it.
