Gyrre:
Just 3 poll options? There's 5 I'd like to see.

Granted Faye is angry, says wants to protect her friends and wants to take action now, but the way she is acting just bugs me.

She's going off half-cocked and not REALLY thinking about the consequences of the people she's trying to "help".  And the way she sort of just tramples over Bubbles' distress and reasonable logistical concerns about others' well-being with a "fuck it we'll figure it out as we go... I want vengeance!" just kind of skeeves me out.

Let me put it this way; in RL I know some people who work at or run shelters for homeless people, and somehow I notice some resemblance between them and Faye. Here in the Netherlands, quite a few of those places are not run by religious or wealthy charities, but by people who had a close shave with problems themselves. They found a way out, and try to help others do the same.

Ditto in the US, at least for people who START the shelters.  Once established they tend to attract religious or other sponsorship, but the people who start them are exactly the same set.  It takes somebody setting the thing up come hell or high water, for the religious and foundation people to notice that there's a real need which they can help with.

And it takes some courage to start things.  Someone always has to stand up to the bullies.  I saw a fine example came from someone who had organized a charity kitchen serving homeless people who had been tent camping in an unbuilt area.  One of the neighborhood association people who'd been trying to get these filthy homeless to Just Go Away came up making trouble because a soup kitchen made it possible for them to stay around, and eventually, in a tone of outrage, asked the guy organizing the whole thing, "Why are you feeding these people?!"

The answer was the second finest shut-up I have ever witnessed:  "Because they are hungry."

Is it cold in here?:

It's the way I read Detective Basilisk's explanation. It sounded like she was imagining a larger organization than the skate park. If Ms. Witch were a senior organized crime figure it doesn't seem likely she'd spend so much time as manager of one small business.

gprimr1:
I view the Skate Park as one venue for robot fights. My guess is that the AIs travel to other venues and fight their as well. I would expect that people would get sick of seeing the same robots fight week after week so venues would form a "league" of sorts.

The commissioners of this "League" would be the big fish.
