( voicemail. )

[overthought]

Thank you for getting back with me. It's a strange request, but I used to serve on star cruisers and didn't once think of trying the stuff. I was informed that it could help soothe some nerves. Care to have a cup?

( voicemail. )

[invisibilitea]

Tea?

Yes, of course!

( voicemail. )

[overthought]

Great! Great. Is there a good place to meet you? Promise I'm better on my legs than the last time we met.

[a beat:] Though, I hope you're feeling better than the last time we met. Did you see someone in medical about it?

( voicemail. )

[invisibilitea]

I - er, yes. Yes I ahve.

The 18th floor kitchen is the best place.

( voicemail. )

[overthought]

I'm really glad to hear that. I was really hoping it wasn't anything related to what was happening on the ship. You can't be too careful about things.

Alright! Say, twenty minutes?

( voicemail. )

[invisibilitea]

Yes, all right. Twenty minutes.

(ACTION???)

[she's there in 10, doing it all wrong actually. who puts cold water, a tea bag and then shoves it in the microwave? no one.]

[invisibilitea]

[She arrives just in time to see this about to go down and yelps a little]

No! No no-

[She very very gently takes the mug away-]

Ah, no. It's all right. I'll make it.

[overthought]

[what is it with people and this drink that makes them so strange about it.]

Oh, hello. [she needs to learn now to get surprised by people popping in.]

Aren't the fundamentals the same? [it's not like making a bomb, Annie.]

[invisibilitea]

Er.

Well.

No, not quite.

[overthought]

... I don't understand. [is this a thing, please tell her that it's not a thing.] It's just leaves and water.

[invisibilitea]

Oh, no, no, it's tea, it has to be done properly-

[overthought]

They're leaves in water. [help her understand, annie.]

[invisibilitea]

No, they're more than just leaves in water-

[overthought]

Annie. Are you having deep ethical issues about how I'm treating this tea?

[invisibilitea]

I-

Well I don't think it's ethical!

[overthought]

[she's always incredulous when john says something like civilians, but she understands it.]

By all means, show me how it's done.

[invisibilitea]

You have to properly boil the water first-

[And she starts going through the tea-making motions, gosh, Cortana-]

[overthought]

This seems very stressful for something that's supposed to be relaxing.

[wow, she's sorry that she was off being an AI!!!]

[invisibilitea]

Well, drinking, that's the relaxing part-

[overthought]

And yet. [you're sorta freaking out on her annie, sorry.]

[invisibilitea]

I'm perfectly relaxed!

[Said in a tone that...isn't...relaxed at all.]

[overthought]

It's not a hydrogen bomb, it's not as if you do one wrong thing and we blow ourselves to kingdom come. [who has two blue thumbs and isn't getting it?]
