Yup. I need practice shaving my ideas. :) Thank you. That is what I meant.

Is it possible that Clinton just didn't know Emily-the-classmate's (first) name? I'm particularly asocial, I know, but in a college class, I rarely knew the names of more than three or four classmates.
Then he fails to recognize her at the party because "huh, she looks kinda like that girl who got EMP'ed, can't be her though because she works at Smif with Claire and that girl was at UMass with me."

Yep, probably a reference to the Laundry as a Charlie Stross expy was one of the guests at Marten's dad's wedding.
I'm a bit surprised at the amount of people being surprised at Clinton's reaction.
There's already been discussion that that SMIF might not exactly OTL Smith college already. And also the discussion above.
"The NRO EMP'd her laptop" is a perfectly comprehensible sentence to me... Especially in context. :/
I thought of something else to comment on but I forgot, it's late here. I think I made up some headcanon but I forgot about it by the time I came back to my laptop. Which sucks as it was the main reason to post in the first place at this hour.

That, plus he's viewing her in a different light. When she was just a friend-of-his-sister and someone he only briefly socialized with, sure, she may have been that weird person whose project nearly raised the Old Ones, but he wasn't going to rudely bring that up in conversation--but now that she's a potential love interest, you expect him to date HER?!
That said, it's a minor continuity glitch at worse (and hey, The Simulation can't be completely flawless), so I'm willing to overlook it and move on to Awkward Clinton/Emily Conversations. So...what other attachments and settings does your robot hand have?

But what about their conversation at the library?
Oh well, it's not as much of a continuity nightmare as Hanners first appearance.
