Is it cold in here?:
That would explain the apparently high payment. The EULA contained a model release that he doesn't know about.
Arancaytar:
Can AIs reproduce? Because May seems like what would happen if Momo and Pintsize had a baby - and her sense of moral responsibility was entirely inherited from her father. :P
Lubricus:
Even if they can, I doubt Momo would willingly create offspring with Pintsize!
TimO:
So far we've really just had a lot of preparation for whatever Jeph is planning to do with May and Dale.
We know that she can't be seen by the other cast members, so assuming that this isn't just going to be a "He's going mad" storyline, which has been done a lot in films and TV with "invisible" characters, it's either going to be some complex interactions with the biological cast, which seems unlikely because of the clunkiness of having to go via Dale, or interactions with the electronically based artificial life cast. The obvious one for that is clearly Momo because of her close relationship with Marigold, and the recent interactions that occurred between Dale and Marigold, albeit they finished badly and rather abruptly.
PT410X could certainly be interesting, if he felt that he had to free May in some fashion, but Momo has also historically been shown to be interested in human behaviours towards the "differently coginated", and we know Jeph considers that a significant feature from the cast descriptions; "... Very interested in AI history and civil rights." (my bold).
Personally I think the ineractions between Dale and Marigold so far, have just been along the lines of rival sports enthusiasts. Possibly a little cliched up, and given the little we've seen of them probably deliberately so, to add to the drama of the story, but neither has really done anything excessive or extreme.
QuestionableIntentions:
First post, please correct mistakes gently :laugh:
I think May is being punished. She has been a naughty, naughty AI (hopefully with nothing regarding nuclear launch codes) and the Global Meta AI has partnered her with Dale in the hopes that he is a positive influence.
He is being paid for it, but doesn't know it because that makes him a more convincing role model (not an authoritive figure, which she would rebel against)
Plus, they didn't want to risk giving her a body :-D
P.S: and they know all about Dale beacause of PRISM. Let's face it, government is a bitch everywhere, but in th QC universe, Prism would also be a member of lolcocks.org or something.
