Summary
“Right,” Jon said. “You can stop now.”
Martin, who had been trying and failing to cut through the rubbery meat on his plate, looked nervously up at Jon. “I…what?”
“All of your bizarre attempts to flatter me by implying interest. You can stop. We both know that this is a horrible date.”
“We…do?”

Summary
Most archaeologists, in Jon’s experience, would find themselves, sooner or later - and usually sooner - being walloped around the head by Indiana Jones references. Their mug collection would be slowly infested by smirking Harrison Fords. They would find themselves the weary owner of at least two ill-fitting costumes, complete with fake plastic bullwhip. And they would field a thousand tired variants on ‘Why did it have to be snakes?’
He, it seemed, was the sole exception. No one, on meeting Jonathan Sims, could ever remotely confuse him with Indiana Jones. When he mentioned his profession, the image that leapt immediately to mind, was, not a fedora and several films’ worth of thrillingly perilous adventures, but a man who did dull, meticulous research and spent hours getting moderately excited over pottery shards.
Jon really, really wished that this was the truth.

Summary
"Oh, so you two know each other," Tim grins, clearly delighted by this development.
With a lack of anything else to say, he falls back onto his default state.
"Unfortunately," Jon replies drily.

It's a bit of a problem.

Summary
Martin may not be happy to be basically half machine, but at least his job is... well, okay, it's also not great, considering his boss only knows how to either glare or stare blankly at him. At least it's relatively uneventful working in what's basically the station's division for 'weird' events, though.
That is, until a bot goes rogue and starts attacking other bots. That alone is plenty weird — but the reason for it is both hard to believe and might put Martin in even more danger.
