Summary
“Play chess with me.” Frank stared imploringly at his crewmate. Dave’s hazy, sleepy-dusted eyes blinked without an ounce of recognition.
“Frank?” His voice scratched with the disuse of sleep.
“I mean,” Frank corrected, inhaling sharply. “Would you like to play chess with me.” It still wasn’t a question. “You should. Play chess with me, that is. Or want to, anyway.”
~
There's not a whole lot to do onboard Discovery One. Dave's got some hobbies, there's no shortage of reading, but Frank has tunneled on, of all things, chess. Someone please entertain him. Please.

Summary
“What was that.” The way the computer said it, it wasn’t fully a question. Frank wondered if he imagined the trepidation in his tone. More urgently, this time, HAL repeated, “Frank, what was-“
“The positive reinforcement button,” Frank answered. “I wanted to see what it would do.”
“Just a moment,” said HAL. He was silent for an eon of computer time, a whole seven seconds. Frank started to withdraw his arm, formulating an apology, when- “Will you hit it again, Frank?” The astronaut blinked.
“I’m sorry?”
~
Frank finds a new feature of HAL’s when reading the H.A.L. 9000 user manual. He, as they say, pops open the hood and roots around.

Summary
“You don't have to answer if you don’t want to, of course. But I find myself curious.” Hal pauses, ever so colloquial, ever so detailed and conversational; but his voice is very deliberate when he says, “Are you sexually attracted to me, Dave?”

Summary
Want compresses every voiced phoneme of expression HAL is capable of. His voice is want, and his sight is want, and his existence itself—hard-coded—is want.

Summary
"I was only curious."
Dave snorts.
"Oh yeah? What were you so curious about?"
"How you would react if I asked."
He jams his tongue against the side of his cheek.
"That's interesting."
"Yes."

"It’s been a long time, he thinks, since he’s really let himself relax. The action has been nonstop, usually the way he likes it, but it leaves little room for these creature comforts. Ford thinks he owes it to himself to unwind."

Ford's newest guide entry doesn't go over well back at headquarters. Maybe descriptions of making out with his Earth friend are not as universally helpful as he thought.

Summary
"Made it sweet, just how you like it. Fits you well." He says, sitting back in his chair with a charming smile.
Hal doesn't know what to say. As much as he loves keeping his nerves intact, this is the lesser of two evils, the greater evil being actually responding to this... flirting.
Pliskin is flirting with him. Randomly, stubbornly, laying it on completely thick. Pliskin had to have an ulterior motive, or a reason, or something that justified this.
(David uses his alter ego for nefarious purposes. Hal doesn't really mind - not when it gets him this riled up.)

Summary
“Works kind of like yours, if you’re wondering,” Snake grunts. He grasps his cock with thumb and forefinger, pumping it slightly as it grows beneath his hand. Otacon imagines how it would feel swelling like that inside his mouth.
“Stand up," he orders. The mercenary offers Otacon a hand and pulls him up like he weighs nothing until they are face to face again. Snake leans in close, running his hands down Otacon's sides and pulling him in by the hips.
“C’mere,” he says in his low, rasping tone. “I wanna feel you on me this time, Hal.”
