She, after all, was not a Q who could change the laws of reality at a whim.
"Alright", he said after a moment. "Looks like we're not going to be able to use that. Because we're not saying here for three hours unless we absolutely have to.
He didn't blame her for the news given. He did, however, not appreciate her attempt at using humor to salvage the "mood", which was how he interpreted the coffee-remark.
"No distractions until we're back on the right side of the border with the colonists and our crew safely on board", he said sharply, though not angrily. There was no need to further rile up anyone, but he kinda had to press the "No lollygagging" point home. In spite of the quite honestly completely messed up day that Black had had, and that she could definitely use a break - he also hadn't forgotten his promise to do his best to get her a secure line to Earth afterwards -, he the last thing he wanted right now was attempts at humor in the middle of a situation that could end up very badly.
"Jensen to Cargo Bay", he tapped his badge, wanting to get a status. "Progress update?", he asked laconically
