Yeah, I guess a freak out from Marten is very likely after this. The alcohol has lowered his inhibitions, and he's probably going to regret this, because it changes the status quo. Then come his troubles with dating an intern.

Also likely.
I mean, the drunk bubbles are still around. He's clearly just doing what he's feeling like right now.

Easy enough way around that. Remove Marten from the chain of command, and make $intern whose ship has sailed Momo's responsibility. That way, it'd just be like dating someone you work with.

As I've said before, there are two easy ways to deal with it:
1. Marten needs a better job anyway. He goes out and gets one. Problem solved.
2. Claire, Emily and Gabby were described as "summer interns" when they first appeared. Summer ends, and Claire's internship ends. Problem solved.
Either way, Tai is in a position to cover for them until things are resolved, as long as they don't get too affectionate at work.
HES:
The way I see it the whole "moral dilemma" is just Marten making excuses and isn't actually a problem.
bhtooefr:
You know, I'm wondering what a retail job at a music store would pay, relative to his job at Smif. It'd be a lateral move at best, but it'd be at least working with things that he likes, and he could get an employee discount.

--- Quote ---Falling asleep in each other's arms is appropriate at this point though.
That's what we did in a similar situation at New Years Eve 1979. By February 1980, just two months later, we were engaged, and married a year later.
It's been an interesting 33 years.

Pretty much like today's story. Same words too "Don't ever stop."
As for the elephant in the room - it would be unreasonable for commenters not to remark on it. OK, it's been remarked on, so onto more important things. Two rather nice people who just might be falling for each other. Does it matter that one has red hair?
And if this is a long term thing - "Don't ever stop." - whats Veronica's reaction going to be? There is plenty of scope for comedic confusion, as so many think they know more than they do, and some misconceptions are hilarious. She's likely to have more than most.
Then there's the desire for genetically related grandkids. But we're maybe only 25 years away from that in this Universe, and the QC one is definitely more scientifically advanced in many ways. I'm sure if one of the Deep AI's was persuaded to take an interest, it would be a choice Claire could have. Maybe Marten's Dad or his partner too, for that matter.
Meanwhile Claire is finding out just how good it is to be a straight girl in a really nice guy's arms. *BLISS*
I'm going to SQUEE now. I confess, I hope it's something serious, and not just exploration. Afraid to keep my hopes up too high though.
Meh. What the heck.
SQUEEEEE
