Anise was just about convinced they'd run into a dead end when Claude mentioned the machines. She didn't really know anything about x-rays, but from following the conversation, she could at least understand that they could help with identifying the problem.

"We can do that!?" Though her motivation had been steadily waning over the last while, there was a renewed flicker of hope in her eyes. "Even if we don't know how to use it, it's worth a try, right?" It couldn't hurt to try. With their lives on the line, Anise was more than willing to take her chances with some mystery machine.

Of course, there was a chance that the machines just wouldn't work to begin with. But with Claude, who was familiar with Earth technology, and Guy, who was big on machines in general, Anise really wanted to believe they could figure something out.
