now we have a non-embodied god-tier AI in a relationship with a human woman

Without wanting to sound nit-picky, if Tilly is NB as suggested by their preferred pronouns then they most likely aren't a woman (while I've seen people use both to describe themselves, it's rare enough that one shouldn't assume any other qualifiers in conjunction with NB).

You're right, we should be careful to avoid assumptions.

I admit I don't know what to call a non-binary person when the only answer they've given has been about pronouns.
"Person" works as a noun.
In the QCverse, one probably needs "human", "AI", and "person"

I would consider Tilly's expression is androgynous, but only they can really quantify what their expression is. We haven't been told what they were assigned at birth and it's improper to guess upon it. We've also seen no indication they go by any name other than Tilly, have we? Transition is a very variable and personal thing and not polite to speculate about.

You don't choose who you fall in love with.
Be that as it may, some people gravitate very strongly towards a fairly set "type".  When one has a wife and several exes of similar appearance, that tropism is clearly in effect.  Station, on the other hand, appears to be more eclectic.

Was Station actually romantically interested in Hanners? I thought he just wanted her to stay.

Anyway, still not a fan of Tilly but they seem to be behaving better now. I am far more interested in seeing what Hanners has been up to. I think it would be super cool if after she leaves the station she visits her friends and we get to see them react.

I definitely interpreted Station’s interest in Hannelore to be romantic. It was just short of a marriage proposal. I think the nature of his feelings surprised even him.

It might be too much of an assumption to say for sure that Station is/was romantically interested in Hanners, but Station's interest definitely went beyond just desiring her company.

Given their respective levels of both goofiness and scientific mastery, I'm convinced Emily can never meet Raven. The combination would be too powerful for Northampton to handle.

If it makes Emily feel any better, I'm not convinced that fashion professionals, many of whom are famed multi-millionaires, know anything about style. It's about throwing together what you think looks good and hoping that enough people agree that they'll pay the ludicrous price-tag for what is actually very impractical body covering. I'll refrain from going into one of my rants about the very negative attitudes that seem to underpin this art.

I think that we now know why Dora was so negative towards Dale and Marigold: She knew that she was going to have to disinfect one of the rooms of the shop; she was desperately trying to avoid that outcome!

So Captain CoD? Bean Beauty? Caffeinegirl?

Given their respective levels of both goofiness and scientific mastery, I'm convinced Emily can never meet Raven. The combination would be too powerful for Northampton to handle.

Northampton nothing. I'm not sure that the solar system would be able to handle it!

FWIW, After binging the SCP Foundation website last night, I'm sort of waiting for someone to walk into CoD and address Emily as 'SCP-3001'.

Perhaps, but Dora told them to go bone out by the dumpster so their rudeness is matched by her inhospitality.  And I'd be shocked if she and Tai didn't use it once. 

Well if Emily does go into business I'm sure Hannelore's father would be an interested investor.

Her dad is the inventor researcher.
Her mum on the other hand is the corporate type which unfortunately comes with the standard evil overlord template.

He’s wealthy enough through his own inventions and probably has a business manager that handles the money side.

Just to clarify as well. The space station is itself a think tank for inventors, researchers and scientists. Anyone on there who isn't a member of security is probably working on a significant project. And I think Hanners' father specialises in AI research, so you would have to wonder about the overlap between his work and Emily's.

Not quite. In the third panel, Dale looks to be holding the pants up, and the sleeves on the hoodie look to come up short on him. In fact, Marigold's clothes look loose on Dale. I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled out and saw her pants barely came up to his knee.

The real reason for the horrified look on Dora's face in the last panel is that Dale let go of the pants and they fell down.  :-o

He experimented with that spaceborne pizza delivery system once before so he dabbles in other things.

Nah, they'd meet, nothing overly weird would happen, and then after she left Raven/Emily would say to Dora "Is it just me, or is that girl really strange?"
