I think we are all curious to know what popular opinion is in this area, so I posted this poll.
I included Miriam mainly because I think it would peeve her if she knew.

OK, Sammy, you can take this punk.
Hey, I get out plenty!
Good! Now where do you go, Sammy? Think!
I, uh...
Come on, Sammy! Quick!
I take the garbage down to the street every Wednesday. And I, uh... I visit my grandmother sometimes...
No good, Samantha! Come on, think of something. You're cool, right?
I have a girlfriend!
That's true.
We've never actually dated or kissed or anything like that, but I think she's a lesbian, so...
Don't give out so much information! You could have stopped at "I have a girlfriend."
She looks like she ought to be one, anyhow.
Is that a good thing? Do you think you look like a lesbian?
I wear skirts sometimes.
Sammy!
Never mind that. About the skirts. Anyway my girlfriend is like 300 pounds so if you keep insulting me she'll come over and kick your butt.
No, Sammy, don't threaten him! He might be a maniac and come over to your house with a shotgun. Or to your girlfriend's house... Then he'd need buckshot...
I didn't mean that. About the butt-kicking. I was just kidding. HA... ha... ohhhh...
That was lame, Samantha.
Is the voice in my head bothering you?
SHUT UP!
I'm not schizophrenic.
What are you talking about? Of course you're not!
Maybe I am. It's hard to tell since I'm alone all the time - it can mess with your head.
No! You get out all the time, don't you remember, Samantha?
My name isn't Samantha!
What are you talking about?
Did you think my name was Samantha? I did!
Sammy, what are you saying?
I'm not even a girl!
Let's not exaggerate, now.
I never knew that! I wonder if I really do wear skirts sometimes...
No. You just made that up. You're too much of a tomboy, remember?
Oh, right.
OK, let's wrap this up! Can I get a quippy insult?
Well, you're probably just sore because you're secretly in love with Yang or Zakharov or something.
That was great, Samantha! You rock!
Thanks, uh.... What is your name?
You may call we Voice.

Aki-Zeta Five is a SMAX character. The question was "Who is the hottest chick in SMAC?" Also I don't know if Aki is a chick. She's a robot, right? Anyhow I considered making it "Who is the hottest chick in SMAX?" but I lost my copy of SMAX a long time ago and I couldn't remember what Datajack Angel Person's name was.

Excellent and creative comeback, Sammy. I salute your madness. Or at least your girlfriend's mass.
On the Aki front, even if she was an eligible choice for the vote, I would still pick 'd: none of the above', since I'm not certain she comes equipped with all the requisite accessories, and I don't want to void her warranty with some sketchy aftermarket modifications.
Revisiting the original choices:
Dee: While she's very smart and easy on the eyes, I'm sure any relationship would founder on our inability to agree on restaurants, since most places I want to go don't have a vegan menu, and our constant bickering over the sorting of rubbish into 16 separate recycling bins, not including the compost heap.
Santiago: Well, admittedly, I find the idea of a woman who can disable me with her pinky to be quite a turn-on, however Corazon's constant nagging about my slacking off instead of going to the gym and kickboxing class will begin to grate almost immediately. Worst of all, getting punched in the face with a fistful of rings may be great fun while you're at home, but in public it's much more humiliating.
Miriam: Let's face it, Mimi isn't the prettiest face ever to fall out of the ugly tree, but she's not missing any of the crucial features. And what with her traditionalist mindset, I'm sure she's one heck of a homemaker. Say what you like, but Mimi is a great cook, and will always have the house clean and dinner hot when you come home from a long day at the Genejack Factory. All in all, not a bad package, but one with a killer catch. Mimi opposes all forms of birth control, both pre- and post-natal, and thus I'd always be one office-romance away from the galaxy's largest alimony bill.
Who's left?
Rose: Not that she isn't cute, but frankly I just can't trust her as far as I can spit her. The day after we move in together, I'd fully expect her to hack all my online accounts and credit cards, leaving me in just as bad of straits as Mimi's alimony payments, but without all the tedious creation of actual offspring.
H’minee: Well, at 2 1/4 meters tall, and weighing in at 259 lbs (118 kg), I'm kind of afraid of her hurting me with an extravagant gesture. And that doesn't broach the subject of her rather severe skin problems. Maybe after she goes in for some cosmetic surgery...

After reading Journey to Centauri it is not difficult to understand Miriam's bitterness and distrust, but her encounter with Zakharov in Episode 21 part 2 (in which his name is still Saratov) reveals the caring, tender, warm person she once was, and could easily again become with the right encouragement.
quote:
She suddenly reached up and grabbed his hands, holding them tightly. He felt the warmth in them, and he felt the tremble in his own hands, and knew she could feel it as well. She closed her eyes.
"Your atoms betray you," she said softly, and then released him. "Every struggle you undertake is for a purpose you can not define. Put your own faith in science, because it feels safe. Rescue the ship, because you consider it a grand experiment. Live or die, it changes nothing. God is waiting for you as well as me." |
As for the basis for her fanaticism, follow her through the story as the officers debate and the schism develops, and through the ship in its final minutes. With the "disappearance" of Captain Garland, her life was forfeit, for he was her sole benefactor... until the moments described in Episode 35 part 7, by which time her thinking was controlled entirely by her religious tenets.
quote:
Her eyes widened with the glory of it, of God watching and guiding her, giving her the tools she needed on the new world.
She opened the airlock and prepared to walk the outer surface of the ship, through the twisted landscape, not fearing death.
Ready to be embraced by her people. |

This has been done countless times, but what the hey!
Santiago may be a turn on with her military attire and tough kind of attitude, and she would be enough to keep me going to the gym and to whatever form of martial arts I choose soon. But it would eventually become tiring. As well as that, I don't think I'd feel safe with the kind of woman who would probably have a silenced pistol under her pillow, a shotgun in the closet, an assault rifle under the living room lounge, and a rocket launcher in the back shed. Besides, she would probably work out at least 8-10 hours, with no less than 10 000 crunches in her exercise regime. She'd have more muscle on her body than Arnie in his days as Mr. Universe. Ugh!!!!!
Miriam is and looks too old, is probably overweight, and her radical, extreme far-right political stance as well as her 'holier-than-thou' attitude would really be a major pain in the butt. And I don't see any room for respect and tolerance of alternative beliefs.
Dierdre is extemely pleasing on the eye. Hard to believe she is already about 35 since she doesn't look much older than 25. However, conversations would be boring discussions about certain species of plant or animal I've never even heard of, annoying ranting about how Morgan is poisoning the planet, or just plain wierd when she tries to get the Planetmind involved, or might not even pass the point of being told off for not choosing a place serving Level 6 vegan dishes on a date.
Aki may look pleasing as well, but she is just so cold! What is the point in a relationship when it lacks emotion? I don't think even a one night stand can actually work without some sort of emotional response.
As for Roze, can you really trust anyone who won't even use their real name anywhere or any time? Sure, it may be easier than gun-nut Santiago as mentioned above, but still... And like it is said above, she is more trouble than she is worth.
None seem to be very appealing at all. Although if I had to choose, it would be Dierdre.

First, eliminate Miriam. I'm a social libetarian, and she'd nerve staple me. 
Dierdre is nice except I CANNOT STAND THE VOICE. Now if they had Fionna Richie (Thistle and Shamrock Celtic music show) do the voice, well, I'd melt.
Santiago. Well, I like to cook, I am quite sure I could tone back up for wrestling, and I don't mind it if she prefers being on top.  The problem would be explaining to the kids - "I don't know if mommy will come home this time." And if she doesn't, the people who would come visit us would be really, really pissed. 
Datajack Roze. Virtual sex, wow. The not trusting her though, ungood. Even worse, you have to make ABSOLUTELY sure she dumps you. At least then she'll only data-rape you once.
Aki, well, it depends. Explain to her the growth problem, and tell her you have this little mod for her to try. You'll demonstrate.  You can then schedule chip sessions, until the Cloning Tanks. Then it's time to move on, assuming you've been able to pretty much avoid too many implants. If not, well, you won't even know you miss it.
