Mr. Doctor:
Hmmm first Watain and now a Cave In tshirt. This guy has great taste when it comes to the heavier section of music.
TimO:
I can't get too worried about AI civil rights, given that we don't have AI yet, so we're talking about several removes from reality. That aside, even if Jeph should decide to write something as dark as that, I don't think it would fit in with Momo's character either, she's not that nasty a person, and it also wouldn't make sense in the context of her civil rights interest.
Having said that, I suspect the only persuasion mechanism that is going to be really effective with May, unless her personality alters dramatically, is threatening her. She seems to have little regard for her personal responsibility, and quite possibly Momo knows this, and she's generally been shown to be quite smart in relation to human interactions. The personalities of the AI and robots we see, aren't that dissimilar to humans, which makes sense given their origin, so Momo is probably perfectly capable of dealing with May.

Momo is an AI. She doesn't need to wear glasses to run Augmented Reality, it is her natural medium. She's instantly aware of Dale's shift-hours too.
It's interesting that she's running with Japanese greeting body-language, which generally she does not. Possibly because it is her home, or maybe she's playing the Yamato nadeshiko for May's benefit. Her iron fist is grinning through the velvet glove a little though. I approve.
I thought Moxie was originally a soft-drink brand name? It's certainly the only spelling in my dictionary, but May is after all a jail-bird. Perhaps it is robo-thieves' cant?
ankhtahr:
hehe, hehehe hehehehe, I like Momo.
pwhodges:
Momo at her best! But ISTM that May is coming close to breaking the fourth wall with her "Anime" comment...

However, it's the only place that has! Anyway, one of them is:
--- Quote from: Urban Dictionary ---8. Moxy
A misnomer for moxie
"Chet lacked the moxy to properly spell moxie"
--- End quote ---
The drink from which the word is taken was specifically Moxie.
