Achilleas first poured Ria some tea and then himself as if it was the most natural thing in the world. He then added cream and sugar to his before offering it to her. Taking a piece of carrot cake, he took a big bite and his eyes went wide.

Riani added a little sugar to her teas as well, but no cream. Stirring her tea with a fork, she smiled somewhat absentmindedly.

“My God that carrot cake is divine! What in the world did you put in it?” He exclaimed before he proceeded to quickly gobble down the rest of his piece. He took a quick sip of hot ‘tea’ before he then reached for another piece.

The other science officers began to watch as the two started their little tea party. One of the NEs looked to another and mentioned, “Should we let.... someone know what is going on here? Maybe medical? Medical would know what to do.”

The other shook her head, curly brown locks twisting about, “No, I want to see how this plays out first.”

“Carrots, I suppose?” Riani replied uncertainly. “It was the replicator, though, who made the cake. I just said what we’d need.” After taking a sip of her own tea, she cut the scone in half and put on both halves clotted cream and strawberry jam. Though on the bottom half she up the clotted cream first; where as she put the jam first on the top half. She then took first a bite from the top half then from the bottom half. Which way was better? She wasn’t sure, so she took one more bite each. A frown appeared on her face as she continued to contemplate her scone. The top half tasted creamier, which was nice. But she also really liked the bottom half which tasted more like strawberries. Why couldn’t she decide? In a move that was probably surprising to everyone present, she put both halves back on the plate and pushed them towards Achilleas. “Which one is better? Tell me!” she insisted with a hint of desperation in her voice.

Achilleas paused with another piece of carrot cake halfway to his mouth. He moved to slowly place the cake back down before he then took another sip of tea to cleanse his palate. Taste comparison was serious business after all and he intended to give it all due diligence. He lifted the creamier half and took a bite before placing it back down and lifted the strawberrier half and took a bite.

Riani watched Achilleas anxiously. She needed to know which one was better!

He thought a moment before replying, “My dear you’re going about it all wrong. No half is better than the other. In fact they’re both lacking since they’re halves. They need to be whole to be their best.” He put actions to his words by smashing both halves back together and took another bite. With mouth full and strawberry and cream dripping down his fingers, he placed the scone back on the plate with a satisfied grunt before he pushed it back to Ria.

“Why haven’t I thought of that?!” Ria exclaimed as she reached for the scone and took another bite. Though with the amount of strawberry jam and clotted cream that was now on the scone, it was basically inevitable that trying to eat it would lead to a bit of a mess; as Achilleas’ fingers were already proof of. In her case, she ended up with a bit of both on the tip of her nose. Once she had swallowed, she said, “You are absolutely correct! This is the best way. Thank you.” She then reached for a sandwich. But before taking a bite, she took a large sip of tea.

Achilleas nodded with a tip of his hat before looking at the muttering NE’s nearby. “Why are you lot not joining our tea party? Are you too good for us? Who is the one in charge here, huh?”

CSO Petrakos

A few of the NEs were rather befuddled as what to do, and others joined in eagerly. NE Yaga and Lepid joined right in walking up to Iyun and Achilleas with no qualms sitting right down and reaching for a piece of cake greedily. And “tea”.

Pouring themselves a large cup each they reclined and started speaking with the two science officers. “Why thank you for inviting us!” Yaga said as she took a fork full of cake. Lepid said nothing as he was taking a large sip from his dainty glass.

NE Sweeney however… He was a man of something altogether different and tapped his comm badge. =/\= NE Sweeney to, uh, Commander Myqian I guess. Ma’am my Department Head and Ensign Iyun… Well half of the science department really are having tea and cake in the middle of the science lab. I don’t think that is very safe.=/\=

Ria frowned for a moment at the two NEs and then suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, “You need a hat! A tea party without hats is no proper tea party.” She then hurried towards the replicator and ordered a variety of hats. One for every person who was currently in the lab. For NE Yaga she got a light blue bonnet with small pink flowers; for NE Lepid a cowboy hat and and for NE Sweeney a slightly dilapidated top hat. As she walked past him on her way back to the table, the shy and almost constantly anxious ensign placed the top hat on his head without even asking if it was okay. She then continued on towards the table and handed the bonnet and cowboy hat to Yaga and Lepid respectively. She then sat back down and finally had a bite of her sandwich.

~Ensign Iyun, Scientist

Achilleas applauded the actions of his fellow officer, “Splendidly done my dear! Thank you for tending to their hats needs! People at this tea party are required to be appropriately adorned after all. But with more people comes the need for more tea! I shall see to this crucial task.”

He then set about the laborious task of making a lot more ‘tea’. The lab supplies will definitely need to be restocked after all of this consumption.

CSO Petrakos

“My pleasure,” Ria giggled while alternating between having a bite of sandwich and a sip of tea. This was exactly what a tea party should be like!

~Ensign Iyun, Scientist

Through a bit of additional toiling and a minor explosion, Achilleas returned with an impossibly large tea pot that must’ve been at least 11.7 liters in size. It was incredibly difficult to carry much less pour, so there was a convenient pump operated spout for dispensing of the ‘tea’. “Come everyone! I have procured more tea! I expect you all to participate or I’ll have you before a court-martial!”
