    She only did that because she was out of nebula.

    Only nebulae can charge up the replicators to provide ground steel at the purity she expects.

      A likely story. She couldn’t resist the perfectly balanced notes of light and dark roasts constantly wafting around the ship, tantalizing her palette. I’ve seen the way she looks when someone brings Tuvix onboard. Like a woman possessed.

        I’m not saying she didn’t think it was a delicious roast, I’m just saying it was nowhere near strong enough for the first coffee of the morning.

        It’s more of a last coffee right before you lay down to sleep sort of coffee.

          I see what you’re saying. Something that takes the edge off at the end of a stressful day of hard decisions about your crew would still be very powerful though. Like a weighted blanket of Vulcan clarity and calmness and that satisfied feeling like you just finished your favorite home cooked meal.
