So you're saying this story arc should include arcs?

Near Lurker:
Huh... so far, Faye is the only human we've seen... Pintsize mentioned "skater kids," but in this world...

Sullivan:
It's interesting that the battleAIs need to hire someone like Faye. Granted she has metalsmithing experience, but apparently they can't simply upload (or download, whichever) any skillset they need, the way the "unplugged" could do in The Matrix.

Or, maybe they just would rather not do the pounding and welding and spike-adding stuff themselves.

Rghfrgl:
They already have jobs. Deathbot jobs.

There's more to it than just technique. It takes intuition and an artist's eye for the deeper need, not just the surface repair. They want vision, which comes out of insight, which you can't just upload.

Faye's stumbled into a social milieu where the humans are the interlopers, and have to prove their worth. The mirror image of AI civil rights in a human society is human rights in an AI society.
