Mlle Germain:
I will admit that I do not hope May will become a regular character in the comic - judging from her behaviour so far. Firstly, she can only interact with Dale, which is not very interesting on the long run, secondly she seems to be the kind of character who always has to draw attention to herself and be in the centre of attention everywhere, so even if she had a chassis, this would probably just make her more annoying.
In my opinion, May has been "worse" so far than Pintsize ever was - though it's true that only her negative characteristics were shown. With Pintsize, one always knew that he did wacky things sometimes, but deep down he's a good companion to Marten and he is a loyal friend and helpful when necessary (Collecting money for Faye, for example). May just does not seem to have any empathy (not saying that's her fault).
I will admit that although I love jokes and fun and talking a lot, I'm pretty serious when it comes to behaving correctly at work and towards other people so that their feelings are not hurt. So I really wouldn't take kindly to someone behaving as insultingly towards others as May in real life.
Ah well, we'll see how this develops...

I'm sure that all the AIs capable of human interaction know what ethics are and are capable of abiding by them. But in any mind sufficiently flexible enough to have a concept of self interest, there is going to be a capability to disregard ethics for one reason or another.

Oh, the wrong and stupid things I've done out of restless boredom.

well, while rubbing his balls on one of the plates would obviously be the right thing to do morally, it's probably prohibited by some sort of workplace regulation.
KOK:
Maybe he should have compromised and rubbed just one ball on a plate.
