BenRG:
Okay, as random a poll as I'm probably able to come up with here: Martin and Steve seem to be thinking about getting a boat for relaxation purposes. However, what should Marten name this proud maiden of Massachusetts' inland waterways? Yes, all the options are silly to a greater or lesser extent but I like all these names and, or at least so I hope, they're all 'in characters' for Marten's somewhat-snarky world-view.

What would I choose. Marten is a bit of a sap, so I imagine him calling it 'Lady Claire' and trying to paint all flowers around the name-plate. Claire later points out that, as a librarian who loves cyberpunk, she'd vastly prefer a robotic skull and crossbones but thinks that the effort is 'sweet' anyway!

Naturally, the boat could ultimately be a plot device. Maybe Pintsize is always hinting that he is using it for smuggling bootleg recreational DLL thumb drives?

If our country can’t have a Naval ship named Boaty McBoatface in spite of popular poll opinion, may I offer it up as an option for Marten and Steve?

I feel that way true justice will be served.  8-)

thedevilissix:
Just seen the poll. You read my mind.  :-D

I still find it hard to believe that that actually happened and I'm under 40yo.

cybersmurf:
C'mon guys, his little pet robot is called Pintsize. The dinghy he'll be able to afford is going to be called "Nutshell".
(in English, you do call a tiny boat a nutshell, right? Also, the possibility of puns for Claire...)
