The girl led you to a table at the side of the rec room. A selection of tea bags and coffee lay out arranged, a fancy selection. "I thought as much, you look like the kind." A coffee pot sat steeping, collecting the mugs she began to pour out the desired amount. "Get me the milk and sugar." Moving towards the direction she points you find a small refrigerator, resting on top it was also a glass container of sugar. With both items acquired you returned, Ana had found a forth mug and was placing a tea bag into it.
Humming to herself Ana took the milk and sugar and began getting the drinks in order. Three spoonfuls of sugar for one and two for the others. Making small talk you inquired about what she had said back at the table. "So what would make me look special? Personally I consider myself to the standards of Project Theta, the standards required for Phobos Pilot Candidates." The girl peeks at you through the corner of her eye, not bothering to make eye contact. "Pass me the honey, it's in the fridge too." Ana was clearly trying to avoid the question. Returning to collect the cold honey you couldn't help wondering about her slip of the tongue. Not wanting to let it go. As she reaches for the honey you snatch it away, Ana produces an annoyed sigh at the surprise.
Crossing her arms she turned to face you. "I suppose there are rumors about me?" You asked, wondering what they could even be. You had no idea. "I know about you, the situation in Theta, Eta, Zeta and Epsilon. You're all prospects for Emperor class Phobos. Just like me." Her face was sharp now, the soft young features masking the young woman's intentions. It seems like someone has been doing her own research before you even arrived. "What do you know about me?" The words came out faster than you could think to stop them, sounding hard and slightly threatening. You were unprepared, caught outside your shell. Anastasia grinned now, eyes gazing up at you mischievously. "Oh? All sorts. Somehow you still have your mind after the intense interference trails they put you through. High risk, highly valuable. They almost didn't bring you in, the other unit heads wanted nothing to do with Theta. So what exactly happened there? That's what they don't say. Why don't they whisper about what you did in Theta?" You stood in shock. The words crashing in around you, even the dinosaur couldn't save you.
