An Outing Between Men
Well, the annual rating event had revealed a bit more than Vincent had been expecting, but he was still resolved to get through his list. Even concerning MacKenzie. Especially concerning MacKenzie, given the nature of the item.

He picked up the phone and dialed.

	"Not at all. Was just talking to HERBIE." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "You know, it is the strangest thing, but when we were dating, Vincent was quite certain that there was something wrong with HERBIE. I never could figure it out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac shrugs. "Couldn't say. I don't know him as well as all of you do, obviously." It seemed pretty reasonable for a robot like that to feel 'one of the family' enough to go into fraternal threat mode, anyway. Not that Mac knew all that much about robots. And out they head. "So were you and Vincent serious?" he asks casually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have never witnessed any anomalous behavior for him, so I could not say," Andrea admits. "For a certain value of serious," she tells him. "We were exclusive, but made no long term plans of any nature." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-17 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	Mac listens and nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-17 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Not having had any relationships prior to that," Andrea elaborated, "I cannot accurately determine how serious it was beyond that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-17 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Understandable. No prior seriousness on my end," Mac says with a shrug. "Just a few dates here and there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No dalliances with green women, then?" Andrea asked, but then winked. "Or has TV lied to me about what space is like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-18 01:05 am UTC (link)
	"Heh. Most of the green women I met, I was meeting under terms of the Aid to Sentient Beings protocol or helping Dad stop them from kidnapping people. Badoon and Skrulls are pretty different, but both worlds really give the girls some major trust issues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-18 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"I imagine they would," Andrea agrees. "Skrulls, at least. I am not especially familiar with the Badoon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-18 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"Ugh. It's messed up. The Badoon Brotherhood's known in local galactic circles for treating livestock a lot nicer than women." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-18 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Andrea frowns. "They sound most despicable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-18 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-18 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"I am always amazed by the hostility of so many alien races. I would have thought any race which could cooperate enough to achieve regular spaceflight would be more peaceful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-18 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"Well, when you think about it, a lot of cultures create unity by fostering hostility against another group. Most don't necessarily get all Battle of the Sexes in their fascism, but..." he shrugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-18 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Andrea nods. "You are correct, I believe," she tells Mac. "I imagine you have seen many cultures at their worst." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-18 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Dad and I usually didn't get involved if everything was going okay," Mac says, nodding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-19 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"I would think so," Andre agrees. "You must often have operated on quite the large scale." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-12-19 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Mac nods. "Some stuff Dad made me sit out, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-12-19 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Understandable," Andrea agreed. "When I was first began to accompany the Fantastic Four, I was occasionally given smaller duty tasks or asked to guard the Fantasticar." (Reply to this)(Parent)
