Woman bites car roof in roadside argument, causing 220 pounds worth of damage.

Anyhow-- I am aloof asexual.  I do not experience sexual attraction in any meaningful capacity, but I do experience intellectual and romantic attraction. Romance, contrary to some of the opinions i've read here, does not involve any hot and bothered-ness for me.  it's more an enjoyable teasing, and intimacy.  The kind of "Flirting+1" that only people who really know each other very well can do, coupled with the interesting mix of selfish and selfless sensations that comes from lavishing attention on somebody. I suspect that this is similar to the "He's dreamy!" sensation that more outright sexual people experience, but more focused, and more interactive. Much more in common with the flirtatious teasing I see young lovers engage in.  I have actually been in love before. For me, it is more a deep devotional type experience, and sense of reward. It is "profoundly rewarding" to be with a person I have fallen in love with.

I have to find the person intellectually attractive before I can find them romatically attractive.

((@smurf: If you ever consider rebelling, don't do it in the coup d'état style. There's been a few attempts of that before, all of which have ended very badly. The Armory Master and Doctor appear to be way more powerful than anyone in ARM, (I don't know that for sure, but I feel more secure about saying that of the former's strength), then there's the crew, and the loyal ARMs, and even people who aren't super loyal would have issue with someone trying to interfere with their business. Plus, I believe Steve still has access to an electrical implant in your spinal chord that he can activate on will, resulting in everything from brief paralysis to instant death. The best option for resistance would probably be running away and finding another place on the planet with someone/something that can transport you to another planet, though the odds of this are negligible, at best.)) 

Get two jugs of water from the Armory Master, carry them back to the workers while discussing their plight with Steve.

"Steve, does the mechanical crew have to work in such cramped, hot spaces? I know that's their job, but can't we help them out a little, or are you to adamant on keeping your dreams of forced labor alive?"

((See, it wasn't perverted. You guys just thought that, in fact, you probably assumed that all the maintenance crew were men. Thus, you are the perverts. :3))

It's almost like people use "fascist" to label their opponents without actually knowing what it means.
