I don't find the Station/Hanners relationship (if it ever takes off) creepy. Mostly cause when I was ten, a friend of my mom's moved to our area with her three kids-two girls, 11 and 12, and a boy, 9. The older girl spent years babysitting the rest of us, and I still refer to her as my best friend/big sister. She's awesome. I also think she's completely gorgeous and would be more than interested if she ended up breaking up with her current gf and was interested in a relationship with me. So, yeah, I've known her for ten years, met her when I was ten and she was twelve, she always had the job of being the adult, and am happy that she is in a happy relationship and doing well. But I would be the opposite of freaked if she wanted to pursue something with me. It is possible for someone whose role shifted as you grew, from babysitter/caretaker to friend, to shift again into a role of significant other.
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person! That's a good first post.
I wonder why Hannelore looms so large in Station's mind?
Mr_Rose:
On creepiness, a clarification; the idea of Station (or any AI) liking Hannelore or vice versa isn't creepy to me, in principle.
However, there's nothing so far to indicate that Station isn't, on his own, a total creep. What he did to Lt. Potter was not cool at all, even if it was well within the normal range of idiotic male behaviour.

As his namer, she may well have been Station's first "human". AI's seem to bond strongly to a principal human in their lives. I'd call it imprinting, but that's too much like baby ducks.
More like the way a cat chooses its person in a household.

Don't. It's rare, the vast (or half-vast?) majority of professors know better, because (at least in the states) it opens all kinds of litiginous doors. Besides, most of them are already romantically involved with someone else.
Or married. :angel:
Now, a few years down the road, when the professor's SO leaves them, and you and your GF are having a tiff, and they run into each other at a conference...
Oh yeah, never let your GF go to a conference when you're fighting. Make sure she knows how much you miss her whenever she's gone. Without being clingy, of course.

Oh, I am not really worried. That was just me joking (sort of) about my insecurities. Pretty sure her advising prof is an old dude.
And I always make sure she knows I miss her. :-)
