Pre-Milliways: Lunch. Or not.
It's the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday when no particular operation is going on, so the Laundry offices are as peaceful as it's possible for Laundry offices to be. Not very peaceful, maybe, compared to your standard government office; but when one thinks about what they do at Capital Laundry Services ("Washes cleaner than clean!") it's definitely qualifying as peaceful.
Dr. Mo O'Brien, SSO-4 Combat Epistemologist who spends most of her time thinking professionally, looking like a badass and playing an extremely powerful violin, is currently on afternoon leave from TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD and planning to go meet her husband (Bob Howard, SSO-3 Information Technology/Active Operations who spends most of his time playing Neverwinter Nights and occasionally doing something out of the office) for the pizza he's been bribing her with for the past week. ("If you'll just take a few hours off you can come by IT and have lunch with us!")
Of course, she knows the people in IT well enough that she's not that surprised that when she gets to the cubicle farm surrounding Bob's office she finds his immediate staff, Peter-Fred and Claire, eating pizza.
Claire actually takes her boots off her desk when she sees Mo, and gestures with her thumb over her shoulder to Bob's open door. With her mouth full. "S' in hffice," she says, and Mo takes that to figure he forgot about her visit.
Which does not, even remotely, stop her from walking into the doorway and hovering.
Silently, mind.
