Hey! Possible future story arc!
May is badly hurt (power cell burned out) and she has to go into storage mode until someone fixes her chassis or gives her a new one - the AI equivalent of a coma but nowhere near as hard from which to recover.
Momo is hauled before a judge and, as it is a first offence and May admits that she was pushing her hard, she is enrolled in anger management therapy. It turns out that Robot Anger Management Therapy is Corpse Witch's day job. So it is that Momo meets a lot of the fighters and, more importantly, spends a lot of time with Bubbles, who has a lot of anger to work out.

Actually, we haven't heard of Jimbo publishing any books recently. Maybe he's a robot fighter now.

--- Quote from: DashaBlade on 26 Nov 2015, 08:00 ---If the fight club is exploitative, and robots are victims of circumstance that causes them to make the choice to fight, even against their own better interests, then Momo is way off base for being upset at the robots who fight. She'd be the AI equivalent of a person who blames a prostitute for prostitution, while knowing that the prostitute in question was manipulated into selling sex. Or a person who blames a common soldier for a war, when enlisted people aren't the ones making the policy and the soldier only enlisted because the economy is in the toilet and he couldn't find a job in the private sector.
And if that's the case, I think my respect for Momo would go way, way down. You don't blame the pawn for the chess player's strategies, even if the pawn willingly joins the game.

Why do you think she's upset at the robots who fight?
DashaBlade:
Well, she's made her position on military AIs pretty clear - she understands them but still thinks it's wrong. I'm only extrapolating at this point, but I'd think that someone who fights for money as an individual rather than in a clear chain of command might not be looked on too kindly either.
