WCDT: Independence Day Week (4 - 8 July, 1961-1965)
jwhouk:
Please remember: this is the same lady who not only passed out drunk on his shoulder, but then head-butted him in the 'nads and then puked in his lap.
There's not much that Marten could do or say, short of bodily harm to Faye, over which she would have given him a pass - especially when he was drunk.
And she also took care of him in a rather expedient manner, if you recall (and even if Marten did not).
Skewbrow:
There was (next to) zero chance of Marten's drunken 'advance' making a dent in the armour of his friendship with Faye. Here's my translation of their exchange the morning after from F&M to English:
Marten: "Man, where did I get this huge bump on the side of the head?" (Curiously enough, this is almost the same in English. A vague recollection of a drunken pass and an incoming fist is implied, though.)
Faye: "Owls." (You were drunk. I knocked you out. Trust me. It was best for both of us.)
Marten: "Owls?" (Dang. Sorry, Faye. Guess I deserved it. What happened? Did I hurt you?)
Faye: "Owls." (I'm ok. It's ok. You had just been dumped. You were drunk. There is no reason to talk about last night ever again.)
I do have a tendency to read too much into some things, though :roll:. But Faye and Marten both remember the "space owl incident" with agent Turing, so I think that the message was clear enough.
Is it cold in here?:
Tai gave Marten time off in 1092, so she's his supervisor.
pwhodges:
He called her "boss" when he first introduced her to the others: 776

I like that interpretation, but I admit that mine was different, albeit fourth-wall breaking: while Faye could have just told Marten that he stumbled and hit his head on the way to bed, 'OWLS' was simply waaay funnier.
