I think that Jeph was inspired by that international commuter pigeon that he met at Newark airport.
That aside, we see that Claire isn't entirely immunised to the surreality of Marten's life just yet! Someone should tell her about the Roomba!
Just a P.S.: I'm actually wondering if Pintsize is just trolling Claire as an act of revenge. In any case, note that she is still at the apartment. Can moving in be far off?

Adaptive camouflage, she can also blush in sand beige(desert), mottled green(forest), and shades of blue(sky/sea).
Now, why a combat chassis has brushable hair, that's what's got me confused.

I suspect that because of AI rights, the Department of Defence were never able to install military AIs in armour-plated bipedal killing machines that vaguely resemble Fallout-verse power armour. Instead, they gave them good-spec humanoid bodies that can wear armour far heavier, more constricting than any human could manage (that also lacked services like waste removal and ventilation). Consequently, Bubbles' chassis has a full selection of human non-verbal human interaction tools, most linked to respond automatically to her emotion algorithms. Additionally, she can customise some of her features when she wishes to do so for aesthetic or social needs.
TheEvilDog:
You know, I almost feel sorry for Pintsize.
Keyword there being almost.
Is it cold in here?:

That makes sense.
She may have been integrated with a squad of carbon-based soldiers. Likely, even, given that she was the only survivor. Carbon-based humans pay a lot of attention to hair whether they think about it or not. What's one of the first things done at boot camp? A haircut.
Configurable hair makes sense for the same reason giving her a face made sense.
