The bacteria Olivia Taylor had cultivated in St. Jude Old Town could now reproduce normally, and she could extract the elements she needed from them to develop new drugs.
It was a significant breakthrough, but it was beyond Olivia's capabilities to complete the rest of the project.
She would hand the idea over to the Ermes team, who would continue to work on it until the new drug was developed.
Olivia said to Uncle Pine, "I finished early today, so I thought I'd come back and take a walk in the garden."
Olivia had a soft spot for Renard Quinn's private little garden.
Uncle Pine didn't stop her, and Olivia and Linda Cooper headed off to the garden.
Linda showed Olivia her recent design drafts.
"Olivia, look, I think these two outfits would be perfect for you."
"And, and look at this one, doesn't it remind you of the formal dress you wore last time? I made a few slight changes, but I'm sure it'll bring out your best features even more."
