[Catherine's been wandering about all day, checking on various things. Showers. Faucets. Water fountains. Each time running a Geiger counter through the water stream, then watching expectantly... only to remain disappointed and wander off again

[Now she stares at someone emerges from the depths of the pond, spluttering and shivering.]

Geez. So much for that.

[survival_101]

[Believe it or not, she wasn't that surprised.]

Diving for treasure?

[prodigious_mage]

Huh?

...

Ahhhhh, you're right! I should've looked for those amoeba things while I was down there! Shoot.

[survival_101]

[Okay, that got her attention.]

Wait, what? The hell were you doing in there, then?

[lifesmegassweet]

What's it, Cat-Cat?

[survival_101]

[Pointing to the pond now!]

What do you see?

[lifesmegassweet]

I see a nice, crystal clear pond! It's really nice, though it'd be nicer if it had ducks or something. Too close to winter, I guess.

[survival_101]

I see a forty year science project to pull off the same thing, and one that still doesn't even work.

[And here is Ruby, sans hat but a makeshift bandana to badly cover this obvious thing.]

What do you mean, what now?

[survival_101]

Just... wondering where to go now.

[And she clearly doesn't mean it in a physical sense. It takes her a few seconds to process who's talking to her, fumbles around in her pocket before pulling out the original Pokeball, looking good as new.]

Here. Told you I could fix it.

[press_b_to_run]

This place has you that confused, huh?

[His eyes light up at the sight of the fixed Pokeball.]

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it. Did you manage to figure out something to make more of them?

[survival_101]

I can sum up years of work with that. [Gesturing at the pond.] And it won't mean a damn thing to anyone else.

I've got pictures. Schematics. Diagrams. I'll work on getting a few tests together. Don't know how well they'll work.
