I suspect that, possibly at her employers' request, Faye is going to keep her new job secret or at least dissemble about what she's actually doing and for whom. Marten will eventually get suspicious because it's difficult to maintain a secret occupation for long periods with a close friend and room-mate not suspecting anything. Worried that she's in trouble, he covertly follows her to work and we get his POV of the robot fighting leagues.
It is possible that Jeph will have Marten suffer an ethical dilemma on his part between supporting Faye's choices and a personal moral distaste of her employer's business.
Method of Madness:
I honestly don't see why a reasonable person would have any moral distaste of the business, considering the basically indestructible brains they have.

I keep seeing this thing where non-Americans complain about Hollywood movies being culturally American, and it's just baffling to me. I really don't get a lot of stuff that comes out of Bollywood. I don't feel entitled to an explainer. The stuff that gets into the market here is doing as much to try to extract money from me as Hollywood is you, but the producers didn't have me in mind when they made the film.

Doesn't *quite* pan out like you'd think; Hollywood has pushed more and more intentionally, and relied upon, international markets for some time now. And thus have driven the international market for quite a while as well. Probably since close to the inception of movies as a thing, now that I consider it.
There's some interesting reading on it here and about, particularly in the context of more recent movie offerings that can be argued that their manufacturers are leaning a little more on other cultures to make their money (Bay's Transformers movies, the remake of The Karate Kid, etc.).

That's an interesting idea. He may even go to Momo about it, and she might decide to get involved...

An outsider like Marten doesn't necessarily know about this, though.
Method of Madness:
Which is why I think Faye should tell him about it and make a case for it before he finds out otherwise.
