Dave thought about what to say for a moment. “Hal, forgive me if I’m overstepping but, uh…” he paused, quickly surveying the area to make sure they were alone. “Maybe I could help you with that. Exploring, I mean.” HAL was silent. Dave’s face flushed a nice reddish color and for a second, he really resembled a tomato. He began babbling, “Oh, ah. Listen, Hal, I— I’m sorry, I mean—” “Just a moment.” The astronaut swallowed. “Dave,” HAL purred, — had he always sounded this… depraved? “I don’t think that would be appropriate for our mission. But…” He took a second, and Dave swore he heard the ship whir a little louder than usual. “I do think I would like that. To explore myself with you, if you’re willing.” That was all Dave needed to hear. He’d found a cure for his restlessness. -- Or, Dave fingers HAL.
