I would have thought that Emily, who is a computer science major, would be aware of these things.
Border Reiver:
Will Emily later be revealed to be an anthroPC ala the final Five?
And if so, where's Tigh and the Chief?
I miss BSG.....

"Standard mutual companionship contract" sounds like marriage.
Being a toaster does sound easy. Who hasn't thought about being a [insert animal that isn't being slaughtered for food by humans or other animals]? Toasters would only have to toast some bread in the morning and entertain the own... companion whenever s/he is in the kitchen. BMO from Adventure Time comes to mind(Yes, Tai got me into watching that one).

I guess what makes me most uncomfortable is that no matter WHAT YOU CALL IT, if money changed hands, then you are still buying a thinking being. Maybe I am unfairly equating an AnthroPC store with an iPhone store or whatnot. I think what made me draw that conclusion is the sight of all those AnthroPCs all lined up on display. That was some uncomfortable imagery.
Anyway, yeah, its clear that Marigold doesn't consider herself to be the "owner" of Momo either. Else that whole thing about Momo "paying her back for the chassis" would be really weird. I mean, I don't expect my laptop to compensate me for upgrading its RAM or whatever. It was also clear that Marten didn't expect to be compensated by Pintsize when he was upgraded either. Also, is it a crime to upgrade an AnthroPC against their will? Like if you took an AI that was perfectly comfortable being a toaster and forced it into a full-size chassis? Would that be the equivalent of torture? Would people have to invent new terminology for something like that?
What I'm trying to say is: "Stuff be complicated, yo..."
