After protracted shenanigans, our heroes are allowed to stay, but soon the building is overrun with investment bankers and other rich scum.

Unlikely unless Hannermom allows it. And as ruthless as she is, things erm… wouldn't be pretty for any landlord who bothered her daughter.

Dora is such a boring mind. Coffee is fascinating!
(How do they get it in that nebula?)

I have a friend who earned a degree in food science and wanted to become a chef.
Easiest way to ruin that dream? Get them to realise the chemical complexities of flavour and combinations. Sometimes, that level of understanding is just a little too much for something that is meant to be your source of income. For some, its more the passion than the science, where instinct is more intuitive than fact.
Dora is around coffee all day, its her bread and butter so to speak. She probably knows which combination of beans work best, how to roast the beans to bring out the flavour more. Maybe the Blue Mountain blend needs just a little longer getting roasted than the Kenyan. She probably knows which types of coffee works best for a machine and which one works better in a percolator.
Method of Madness:
Still not very simple.
Morituri:
Local VA starts a veterans survivors support group meeting weekly (Incidentally there's an enormous VA hospital not that far from the real Northhampton that actually does a LOT of this), and Bubbles starts going to it.
Robot fight club gets raided. Faye and Bubbles are unemployed and, after squirming for a while about possible legal fallout, go legit as robot chassis repair contractors. Corpse Witch is either vindictive and petty, or calculatedly trying to plea bargain as doing volunteer work for hardship cases, but one way or another she ensures that May's parole violation comes to the attention of authorities.
Momo investigates electric eels' potential as an alternative robot power supply. Most of the other AI she knows back away from her slowly without making eye contact when they hear about this, and she has no idea what's wrong.
Hitomi - a new character in a KawaiiPC chassis like Momo's old one - gets a job at the library.
Brun becomes frustrated in her job hunt, flings her harpoon at a stop sign, misses it and pierces a police vehicle accidentally, and is so stressed out that she is unable to speak during her arrest and interrogation. Clinton attempts to intercede on her behalf.
Tortura shows up - only now she's got a student ID in what is probably a fake name, and a visa in the same name, and is determined to study English literature - or maybe that's only how she plans to lay low until the people hunting for her give up.
Agent Turing seeks out Momo to get information about the local AI rights groups. He's quit the government job and feels that his need for the pursuit of justice is leading him in other directions. He is apparently still terrified of Dora, however, and this causes Tai substantial confusion and worry.
Faye's transtemporal dinosaur-shaped coffee roaster appears at a time and place where Emily is the only one who sees it. She identifies it as a thing that must be fully investigated and understood and takes it home. Seven weeks later, during a storm, several people report catching glimpses of a giant Kaiju-type thing but nobody can confirm this. North Hampton is plagued with a mysterious torrential rain of coffee. Mysterious men and women with dark suits, expensive sunglasses and cheap shoes appear and begin following Emily everywhere she goes. Her mom notices them, and at some point confronts one. "You guys again? What did she do this time?"
Pintsize becomes upset because some artist in Boston has salvaged his Butt Rocket and is now passing it off as her own original work of art. He confronts her, but she's delighted to meet him and wants to team up for their next project - his transformation into a dildo chassis! It turns out her porn collection is both larger and weirder than his own and she has three exes who are all somewhat traumatized by having known her. Pintsize isn't quite sure how to react. Will he move away from Marten and go to Boston to be with her? Or will he call a lawyer to sue her? Or will he run screaming from the scary woman who is finally into him but who may be too kinky for him? And now Pintsize has to confront disturbing questions: Too kinky?! What does that even mean?! Wait, that would mean I have standards, wouldn't it? My God, I never would have believed I had standards! Cue existential identity crisis!
DeathMole videos go viral on youtube; Agents are suddenly offering them stupid money to sign stupid contracts. The band has serious disagreements about how to respond to all this. Nigel St. Hubbins shows up to try to sign their drummer, because his more famous band's more famous drummer recently got hit thirty-seven times by lightning in a freak accident. But she doesn't want to sign with that band. They ask him what they should do about their contract situation and he gives them the worst possible advice. They all agree to throw him out but still don't agree on how to respond.
