Can I just point out how amazing the art has gotten? Those expressions on bubbles especially...
Also kind of wondering whether this will be a "Faye redemption arc" or if she will f*ck things up again and only have her character growth afterwards. I sort of hope it's the former, otherwise this is going to be painful to watch.
Thrudd:
I am seeing everyone proposing the enterprise being done as a capitalist venture.
[ I am thinking too much commercial indoctrination ]
Why has nobody even mentioned that they could go the charity route instead?
- Initial sponsor could be an already existent charity group [ how do the various church groups view AIs? ]
- Taxes are lower to non-existent
- personal income would be marginal to none existent BUT outside ventures could be pursued for that [ Faye - do your damn art already ]
- Sponsors would sign up if only for the tax write-offs and the positive publicity
- Corporate sponsors would be possible to promote their products or showcase new products being put to use / tested
- This would not even require robot fighting to get off the ground [ That could be a spinoff once that goes legit ]
- They could get sanctioning as part of the parole and AI support programs if they ask the right people

A small repair shop could develop in a bunch of directions. As a repairs-for-the-disadvantaged charity suitable for state sponsorship and/or eligible for tax-free donations, or as a good honest repairs-for-customers-paying-a-reasonable-fee business.

Just thought I'd point that out. Carry on.
Kugai:
The charaty route is not a bad one, but I think for something like the Robot Fight Club it would be a non starter. For starters, becoming a charity group means opening yourself up to both government and public scrutiny as well as press scrutiny. For something like the Fight Club,, that's the LAST thing they'd want as it skirts the law as it is.
Then too, the 'Big Fish' are not going to want that kind of scrutiny either, which could lead to them doing something rather nasty to Faye Bubbles and anyone connected with them.
Zebediah:
Comic's up. Warning: Contains dangerous amounts of heartwarming hugs.
