Momo sent a resume to ECTech for a station job requiring security clearance. (You didn't think she wanted to work in the Smif library all her life, didja?) ... anyway, she listed Marigold as a reference ...

It has been established that APC "personalities" (which, I believe, is the Politcally Correct term for "AI's without a physical form or avatar") can be "uploaded" into a computer (or, theoretically, into a computer with an internet connection). The AI could simply "switch" via a cable or Wi-Fi connection from one robot body to the next; it might be that USB/Firewire connections are easier because of the huge amount of data required to transfer.

Series starting here: Pintsize Virus discusses this.

Let's see - what could Marigold have inadvertently brought aboard SS EC-Tech that would be "against the rules"?
* Sharp Objects - Box cutters? Scissors? I don't see her carrying anything like this on her person or in her luggage. However, Hanners did say she thought Marigold had a katana...
* Sporting Goods - I doubt she has a cricket bat like Hannelore does.
* Guns & Firearms - Uh, no.
* Tools - This area I could see an issue. She is a computer techie, and she might have her emergency computer repair kit on hand at all times - like her screwdriver set or six-in-one tool. Such an item would probably not be larger than seven inches in length (which is the TSA requirement), so that might not be an issue. Maybe it's something else in her repair kit?
* Martial Arts & Self-Defense Items - Would she actually carry a can of mace, or a taser with her? or Nunchakus, Throwing Stars? Or could she have something on her that could be mistaken for such?
* Explosive & Flammable Materials - Practically anything in this category would be "very bad" to bring onto a space station, as the atmosphere inside is probably a lot closer to pure oxygen than the mixture we have on Earth. Maybe a can of Cheez-Whiz that she forgot was in her luggage? Maybe some sort of soldering gun or other type of torch/lighter?
* Chemicals and Other Dangerous Items - Some sort of heavy-duty tear gas, but then her luggage would have been a LOT larger than it appears.
* Other Items - The only thing I could think of would be her Netbook - with the attached webcam. Maybe Hannelore forgot to tell her that she couldn't bring that with to the station?

Having seen the next comic already, I can tell you it's Other. Although it does have to do with what she brought with her. ;-)
