Kaeda raises an eyebrow as Lia immediately takes her to meet someone. When she does meet the new person, Kaeda stares at her for a moment. "....Huh. I didn't see that coming." She turns to Lia. "How in the world did this woman?"

"She's another hybrid... obviously. I guess she was changed earlier than Sasha, and still has her memories. She says she actually was a scientist working on making hybrids but some assholes stole their work and started changing people aggressively... so I'm guessing they started wearing costumes and masks at some point when they went full crazy."
Lia pauses.
"I found her while going through Seafoam, and offered her a place to stay. At least somewhere with other people to talk to."

Friend? Eve goes to check it out, coincidentally coming into the room after Lia finishes explaining about scientists and hybrids and masked crazies. This is important because once Eve enters the room, she ceases to hear anything else.
Eve. Goes. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Omg. O. M. G." Unless someone stops her, she runs up to the Glaceon lady and tightly grasps her hands, "Are you a Glaceon lady? Up close and. Wow! So you chose Glaceon?! Do you like the other Eevees by any chance?! So what's it like being part Glaceon?! And this cold room? Is that a side effect of the hybridization? You need somewhere cold?".

Floyd follows Eve into the room, having returned after a day of battles and training. In stark contrast to Eve he raises an eyebrow at the sight of the second hybrid and stands there in silence.

"And this is Eve, and this is Floyd. You two, this is Celestyna."
She then looks to Celestyna.
"And that's it for people living here, it looks like."

Celestyna instinctively freezes Eve's feet to the floor as she rushes her, causing Eve to trip and fall onto her face. Not that this stops her from spouting off a barrage of questions.
"Oops." She mutters. "So, questions. First, yes, I am 60% Glaceon. Second, I have no strong opinions on the other forms of Eevee. Third, I did not choose this, it was forced on me. However, I don't mind it at all, and probably would have been okay with it had it not been for the aggressive experimentation I underwent after the fact. Finally, yes again. As a side-effect of being genetically merged with an Ice-Type Pokemon, I require much colder environments to live comfortably. That and its remoteness are why I chose to live in the Seafoam Islands after I escaped."

"Uh-huh...." Kaeda's had a long day, and she trying to put all this together. "If she worked with these people at some point, does she know who exactly is behind this? This being turning people into pokemon situation."

"No worries!" Eve assured as she lay on the ground. Might as well. She'd probably trip on the way up. Propping herself up on her arms, she took a moment to admire the Eevee variant in front of her. "Woah," another exclamation of wonder, "So this is what 60% looks like?" that descended into barely legible mutters, "Hm... but the... one... 30..."
Then, while Eve observed, Kaeda said something sensible. Yes, good job Kaeda. It even knocked Eve into her senses.
"Um, right. I guess Kaeda is right. Sorry about that..." She didn't feel that just one apology was quite enough, so Eve added some more. "Really, I'm really sorry to hear that you were forced through this change... I hope you don't take offense at how amazing I think you are, though. It's just, I can't hold myself back when it comes to Eevees." With that said, and hopefully any misunderstandings cleared up, Eve dropped her head to the ground and let the others, who'd clearly been more invested than she in the more important parts of this sort of topic (yes, Eve could recognize that Eevees weren't the most important point here), continue.

Lia narrows her eyes and looks to Eve at her comment of 'the one' and '30'. The hell is she talking about?
"Eve, what the hell are you on about?"

"Honestly, I couldn't tell you who is actually behind this. They were very covert about it up until a fairly large fraction broke off on their own with the stolen data. Now, if we could find a facility they were known to be at, say, the one Miss Sasha claims to be from, then we might get somewhere. Alas, she seems to either have repressed the memories (I truly don't blame her) or otherwise forgotten the location." She continues. "If we had a Hypno, we might be able to rediscover those memories; provided she is willing to undergo the process. I'd rather spare her the renewed trauma of such memories if possible, but she's all we have to go on right now. The facility I was at is long gone now. They... pissed off a Legendary Pokemon. It didn't end well for them."

Kaeda rubs her head, and nods absentmindedly. The addition to the current residents, and further delving into these conspiracies of human/pokemon hybrids is a lot to take in. Also, out of all her pokemon, Kaeda lacked a hypno. Perhaps it could be something to look into, but Kaeda was pretty tired. She looked to Lia. "And you? Did you get everything you wanted out there?"

Lia looks to Kaeda. 'Did' she get everything? D'mara seemed a bit... distant once she got the video and the news. Nothing really on her going back in... which is a tad concerning.
She shrugs.
"I mean I went there for evidence... I got said evidence. Job done, I guess?"

"Speaking of D'Mara, should we just go to her with what we know about Sasha and Celestyna? We could get in over our heads and this could interest her."
Floyd suggests, having remained quiet and thoughtful for the past few minutes.

Lia shakes her head.
"No. Not sure if I wanna tell the scientist about the scientific marvels we got on our ranch. I've already told Aleisandra who's had trusted members of the league informed."

"Last thing we need is to talk to D'Mara." Kaeda shifts her weight around. "So what's the plan then? I still got 2 gyms to get done before going to Cinnabar. What do you guys need done?"

As that is brought up, Lia moves to the side. What 'does' she have left to do now but wait? She's gotta wait for D'mara to get back, she's gotta wait for Sasha's memories to get uncovered... There's not really anything for her to do...

Eve very conspicuously shut her mouth and said nothing more when Lia asked what in the world she was on about. She simply stayed mum, and waited thoughtfully.
It was only when the topic shifted that Eve piped in, "I still need to beat three gyms, ahahaha." Whether she was laughing in desperation at having cleared not a single gym since joining the group or laughing because she really didn't care about how quickly she cleared the gyms was hard to tell.
"Oh yeah, guys, since we're talking about stuff to be done," a bit out of the blue, Eve mentioned as she casually lay on the ice ground, feet swinging in the air, "I can't remember if I asked you about this or not, but I filed an application to work as an intern at this lab in Saffron City. It's got this whole NDA thing and they're super strict about information not being leaked out. Is that cool with you three? Four?... Should I also be asking Sasha about this and make this five???".

Celestyna's ears immediately perk up at the mention of a 'lab in Saffron City'. "Do you happen to recall the name of this place, Eve?" She asks pointedly.

As Eve pipes up, Lia remembers she asked Eve the question and never got an answer. And all this new stuff just refreshes that. She just waits off to the side for the answer to Celestyna's question. Especially seeing that she seems to know this lab. Pieces seemingly are falling into place but a conformation might finish it.

"Eh... Ehm..." Eve is struggling to remember, her brows knitted tight. It was all so long ago. "Long ago" being a week ago. Her brain failing her, she fished out her Pokedex instead. Okay, so the email was deleted, but the resume and cover letter she had prepared were not, and both had been saved with the name of the business they were intended for. "Saffron Genetics," she reads out. Predicting the next question, she continues, "It's in the business district, a couple blocks from Silph Co. Security reaaally is tight there, though, so... Lia. Don't start thinking about doing anything."
