Later in 2153, Lieutenant Malcolm Reed opened the compartment in the drink dispenser where mugs were placed, then placed a mug inside, and ordered hot black tea. Later that year, Captain Archer ordered coffee with cream from the drink dispenser late at night, while impatiently waiting for Enterprise to catch up to an Earth vessel which had been appropriated by unknown, cybernetic organisms. That script did specify, however, that the beverage T'Pol orders during the scene, an otherwise unidentified drink, was tea. This usage of the drinks machine was not written in the final draft script of "The Breach". In 2153, T'Pol obtained a cup of tea from the drink dispenser, while she and Phlox were the only individuals in the mess hall. Archer explained to Krem that the water came out of the dispenser and Krem soon thereafter returned with the beverage. While Enterprise was subsequently being ransacked by Ferengi pirates, Archer diverted the attention of one of the Ferengi, Krem, who alone was guarding the captain in a corridor, by asking him to fetch a glass of water from the drink dispenser. Hence, Tucker instead ordered a beverage for himself only, again obtaining cold milk from the machine. When Tucker met Captain Archer in the mess hall shortly afterwards, the captain declined Tucker offering him a drink from the dispenser. After Tolaris arrived, he asked her if she could show him how to use the machine, which she did T'Pol placed an empty mug in the dispenser and ordered, for him, another hot mint tea. One night, less than a year later, T'Pol ordered hot mint tea from the dispenser. None of the equipment was established as being voice-activated. In the same script, the area they obtained these beverages from was an actual "beverage station," including a dispenser from which tea bags could be taken, a nearby "hot water machine," and an unspecified method of filling a glass with milk. In the writers' second draft script of "Breaking the Ice", the order of these two drinks was reversed, with T'Pol firstly taking tea before Tucker received milk.
