It's All About Wording (open)
It had taken some time to figure out exactly how to do this, but it all came down to the wording. Tim didn't lie on the requisition form, he did need a cooling unit in the lab since there were chemicals and things that needed to stay cool or they would go boom, but the cooling unit wasn't exactly a typical lab type of cooling unit. With the newly renovated lab space there was enough room for Tim to finally have space for what he had been dreaming about for some time now.

On the Purchase Rec it was a cooling unit. In actuality it was way more than that. The rec went in through the normal channels and got approved. A few weeks later it was delivered and Tim had set it up in the lab. One side for beer and one side for those things that would go boom. He had put those things that go boom in there and had put some of his own brewed beer in it.

	Lena had been on a coffee break while some tests were running so she decided to take a detour and go visit Tim. "Knock knock," she calls from the doorway. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tim turned and gave Lena a smile. "Hey. C'mon in." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooh the lab renovations hit your wing too. Looks good. Anything fun you got in under the radar?" She walks in and offers him the extra cup she brought along. It was always a good idea to come to labs bearing coffee. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," he said taking the offered cup. Caffeine was never turned down. "I got a new toy," he said and opened the door to the Brew Cave. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	She peeks in and then smirks at him. "Sooo...what did you file this one under?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim grinned. "Lab refrigeration unit to house potentially dangerous chemicals and items." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lena snickers, "I like it. And a case could be made for it. After all, alcohols do come with warning labels too. They never asked what kind of alcohol..." Loopholes were always fun. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exactly. I do have things that have to stay cool in addition to the beer. There's just a little bit more room than I actually need." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Clever Tim. You could seriously just sit in here with your beer and nobody would be the wiser. Much better than most of the break rooms around." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-24 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Exactly," he said. "I don't have my own place and all the beer I brew needs to go somewhere." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-24 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Really? I always thought you did for some reason. Do you do labels for your beer too?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-24 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Never had the need for an apartment. I spend too much time at work." He shrugged. "I do." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a place I'm just never there. So where do you brew your beer?" She takes one of his bottles off a shelf to see what his labels looked like. Personally, she thought Teddy Bear Brewery would be a good name for his stuff. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In my quarters," he said. "I don't sleep there much and figured the space could be put to better use. Would you like to try some?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-25 12:04 am UTC (link)
	"Sure," she smiles. "I'm afraid I'm not a big beer person so I won't be able to appreciate the finer points, you'll have to point them out for me." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim walked into the Brew Cave and pulled a bottle out. "This is a framboise. Raspberry ale." He grabbed a bottle opener and popped the top off. He offered the bottle to her. (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-25 12:10 am UTC (link)
	She jokingly gave him a suspicious look as she accepted the beer. "Where did you hear about my preference for raspberries? Have you been not as upstanding a bear as I took you for?" (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-25 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"It was a pure coincidence," he said. "I love Belgian ales and the flavored ones are excellent." He smiled. "But I'll remember the raspberry thing." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-25 12:18 am UTC (link)
	"Mhmmm." She took a sip of beer and smiled. "I like it. Well, as much as I can like beer. But definitely one of the ones I'd drink again and I don't say that for many." She turned the bottle around to examine his label. "Ever do nerdy jokes for labels? Because I don't think you'd put Teddy Bear Brewery as much as I'd advocate for the name." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-10-25 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"No, I definitely won't be putting /that/ on a label," he said. "I haven't decided on a label. Then there's the names for the beers themselves." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-25 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Shame. I think it'd really sell with that name," she teases and takes another sip. "I'm still voting on nerdy or geeky references. You could corner a market with that." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't," Tim grumbled. "I was thinking Dragon's Brew for a label name." (Replies frozen)(Parent)(Thread)
