Enja didn't pay much attention to the red stain. She knew it was blood, but convinced herself it was ketchup. People loved ketchup after all, although she wasn't particularly fond of the fruit used to create them. How strange that something she didn't like was changed to something she does like. Kind of like gum. Shame she hadn't actually figured out what it's made of. Gum, sugar free, was good for the teeth after eating. Yep! What an interesting fact - from what she knew it was because it made you salivate, which in turn helped wash acids and bacteria off the teeth. How fascinating. Maybe she should have become a dentist instead of an engineer. A dental engineer. Did that even exist? Hmm.

"That's a good thought," her new partner stated. "Maybe I could lend you a hand when you get back. I have quite a bit of medical knowledge myself. Was your company at all involved with cure development?"

"Medical knowledge is good to have. A doctor and an engineer - inventing the way into better health!" She gave a small laugh, trying to find usable wires and the like. They hadn't gotten to where she wanted quite yet, but that didn't mean there wasn't anything valuable here. "As for that last part...Yes and no. Silph Co. was in charge of developing the cure. My company was involved in supplying the materials, which we did, although it started to get more difficult as disorder became apparent. The shipyard in Slateport was very useful in transporting supplies, but as the sailors and boats got caught in the violence..." She didn't need to finish her statement. It was easy enough to see what happened.

There was no cure still, that much was clear. If there was, it certainly hadn't made its way to Hoenn.
