In 1964, she was recruited into the [[DEC Military | DEC Faction]] and faced a frosty welcome. Several factors have been cited as contributing to the DEC-tan's hostility; among these, her work as a mental-health professional and assigned position as "surgeon-general", her MIT origins and unusual paper-based sorcery. In spite of the mostly negative reaction, some DEC-tans took a liking to her; most notably [[PDP-8]]-tan, who herself is a distant relative of LINC.

Despite their seemingly clashing personalities - LINC being cynical, cold, intelligent and over-educated, and PDP-8 being bubbly, personable, but rather uneducated and mentally-simplistic - they were fast friends, and their relationship soon took a markedly affectionate, perhaps even ''romantic'' turn. Realizing that they shared a high level of compatibility, the management of DEC arranged for them to be married; LINC and PDP-8-tan were not only accepting of this arrangement, but enthusiastic over it. They wed in 1966, and remain together to this day.
