Regarding older mentors and relationships being creepy ...
I was in second grade, and at mid-year, we got a new teacher when the former one had to leave because of illness. It might have been her first job, she was very young; so I'll say she was about 22. Very caring, very interested in her pupils.
Fast forward 15 years. I am taking some summer classes in college to catch up as I had lost a year because of a car accident. To pass time, I audition for a play in the theater department. I end up reading against ... you guessed, it, my former teacher, who now would have been 37 to my 23. It is very, VERY creepy, even in an obviously fake situation, to be standing across from your second-grade teacher saying "screw ME, Sidney, PLEASE..."
And no, I didn't ask her if she found anything strange about it. No, no, no.
So, yeah, creepy with Station and Hanners and all that.

On the other hand, would you have felt the same way if your teacher HADN'T aged at all in that time?
EDIT: Or, whose to say that Station wasn't mentally the same age as Hanners when he was created?

Hannelore Naming
HiFranc:
If it was a patient-therapist relationship then it doesn't matter if it was 10 years or 10 days ago:

Mr_Rose:
--- Quote from: Milesb on 01 Apr 2012, 10:38 ---So surely for the AI to have been named by Hanners, he must have been "born" when she was already old enough to understand and articulate a name for him?
Doesn't this rather turn things on their head? If Hannelore is older than station, couldn't you interpret her telling Station off about the fiasco with Lt. Potter as more of a bossy older sister scenario?
--- End quote ---
I can totally see the scenario where Hannelore considers herself the 'older sister' of Station but Station thinks of her as a possible romantic interest leading to that same confrontation easily enough; ie Hanners is telling her kid brother off for being mean, but Station is trying to make up for being inconsiderate in front of the girl he likes.
Would also explain why she isn't able to figure out who Station wants to have dinner with, having subconsciously eliminated herself from her version of the list of girls Station might like…
