To Kendra's surprise, it turned out Savannah was being quite literal when she said "girl time." Her idea of getting better acquainted with her daughter-in-law involved manicures, hairdressing and a facial along with gossip.
Unknown to Kendra, Savannah was using a conversational technique developed within Occ-Ops that used the patterned repetition of certain keywords to "open up" the conversational partner. The fact that Savannah's probing had not "opened-up" Kendra to discuss intimate details of her life with Nancy or classified elements of her naval work indicated a strong resistance to such efforts, perhaps not surprising for someone who had spent many years in the closet. So impressed was Savannah by Kendra's intelligence and verbal discipline that she considered recruiting her for Occ-Ops as well. It would make things simpler for everyone.

Allison called the CDC and her report of being infected by an "immortality virus" got put in the "this person is probably crazy but it might be connected to something real so send it to Occ-Ops" file.

"Gotta run" Savannah told Kendra. "We'll talk more."

"Should I have changed it?"
"No, it shouldn't be a problem. So you have experience with sound engineering?"
"Yes"
"There are a couple of possibilities I can send you out on."
