[ When the video feed starts, it shows Annie in her uniform jacket with a distinctly flat expression that military sorts might recognize as a thousand-yard stare. The silence drags on unreasonably, though she doesn’t give any indication that she thinks it as such. (Hint: She doesn’t.) Finally, she speaks in a tone that's apathetic: ] Is natural gas available in this place? I need it to fill a certain type of canister.
[ Not that she needs it right now, but she lifts one of the canisters from her 3DMG to show it. There's a strategic value to this move by pretending she's lost that advantage. ]
Ah, I should ask after my squad, shouldn’t I? [ She says it almost as an afterthought. So she introduces herself bluntly: ] Annie Leonhart. Stohess District MP, under acting squad leader Marlowe Freudenberg.
[ Because apparently that should do the trick, right? Terse to a fault in such an unusual situation, she abruptly shuts off the feed. ]

I'm a nurse, actually. I don't have the same level of skill that Dr. McCoy does. [Even if 'Dr. Reyes' has a nice ring to it. She hadn't planned on going to medical school to become a full doctor when she was younger; being a nurse was more than fine with her. Maybe Jaime or Milagro could be 'Dr. Reyes' instead.]
Do you need help with anything? I know arriving here is a big shock.
[The fact that Annie's clothing looks similar to Armin's didn't escape her.]
Re: video;
No, I'm... I'm not injured. [ She shakes her head. Really, she sounds a little confused by the offer. ] I don't need any help.

[This is not actually assuring her.]
I know the food here is different from what nearly everyone's used to, but I can take something over to your suite for you to eat. It won't be as strange as getting takeout from one of the local kedan places.
Re: video;
Tempting as food offered freely is, she can't just share her location. ]
No, that's not possible.

Why not?

[She's not going to invade the space of this girl, or even try to force it; there are clearly problems, and smashing through her comfort or safety zone will not help.]
If you like, you can come over here instead. That way it won't have to be reheated.
