Methinks this illegal underground fighting ring may be getting an anonymous tip to bring a few other "little blue friends of friends" around sometime soon...

BenRG:
I do wonder if Bubbles is really seeing who Corpse Witch is for the first time.

Previously, it's likely that her perception of the other AI was wrapped up in her own self-loathing issues. She was grateful for someone to give her a job, room and board when she was so self-evidently an unlikable and dangerous person. However, now she's met people who are treating her well. How does Corpse Witch respond? By trying to reinforce her neuroses! She also punishes good acts. It is possible that Bubbles may soon decide that maybe CW isn't quite the 'angel with a dirty face' that she previously assumed that she was.

Meanwhile... I wonder if this deduction may leave Faye with problems making the rent this month? More importantly, if so, will she tell anyone? There are two potential outcomes here:

* Faye gets a low-paying second job and works herself into a collapse;
* She and Marten look for a new income source that leads to Claire moving in with them.As for Bubbles? Well, I foresee an unpleasant and eye-opening interaction with CW in the near future.

Timemaster:
CW is a jerk, Jeph ist making his intentions very clear today.

But my first thought today was "she´s a jerk, but she´s not wrong here."

The Fight Club is an enterprise. Money is made, CW has made that totally clear in her introduction. And she´s resposible for it. Maybe it´s her own enterprise or she has to answer to someone who owns it. Either way, she´s resposible to make sure it runs smoothly, profitable and without fuzz. And that her employees work profitable too.

Enter Bubbles, Faye and May.
They´ve repaired May during work times and used company recources and tools to do so. All these things cost money. Money CW is responsible for. So Bubbles and Faye should have asked CW first, if they are allowed to repair May.
They didn´t.
So CW is seriously pissed off. And she´s not wrong in beeing so.

In Germany this case would have been easily enough to get Faye and Bubbles fired, if this were a legal enterprise and CW intended so. She doesn´t, but she gave Faye a warning and makes sure she doesn´t loose any money here. She should have done so less threatening and sarcastic. This is not a good way to lead empoyees (even illegal ones) and to keep them motivated. She could have handled this situation a lot better and still be getting her money back.
But generally she´s not wrong here.

CW is a jerk not because she bills time and recources to Faye. She´s a jerk because of the the way she does it.
And Bubbbles is chicken, because she doesn´t take the responsibility for this action. It was her idea and decision after all. The way I see it, Bubbles is Faye´s superior here, so she´s responsible for her actions. She should have a talk to CW about this case. Maybe we´ll see such a talk soon, perhaps tomorrow already.

Stay tuned.  :wink:

pwhodges:
Faye's practice and training is also a benefit to CW.  They were, of course, wrong to do it behind her back, but maybe they knew that she'd say no, and felt that the benefit to all the AIs of extending Faye's experience justified breaking the rules; I've certainly done that at work myself when I've had blinkered management to contend with!

QuestionableIntentions:
Corpswitch is really starting to piss me off.
