More importantly, it fixes in the reader's mind that these low-fidelity chassis are, as Faye and May have noted on many occasions 'big Barbie dolls'.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 23 May 2017, 23:51 ---May and Melon's chassis are similar but not identical. I suspect that there is a market for generic and low-fidelity humanoid chassis for those AIs with either limited finances or a liking for the basic look (I suspect that Melon is one of the latter). Note especially that Melon doesn't have ears but rather has pink 'dish covers' covering her auditory sensors.

I was thinking that this robot looked more like the policebot who was investigating Corpsewitch, but, either way, it does look like there's a line of low-fi chassis around for AI's who don't want or can't afford a more customized one. In fact, it looks like there are at least two such lines: the 'girly' line (May, Melon) and the 'big guy' line (Punchbot, Arthur).

Faye lives with Pintsize so I think she is used to not wanting to know all the details.
I'm actually surprised that a replacement bottom only cost $75. However, the price of things is probably different in their world than ours.
shanejayell:
Parts and labor. So it's actually less than $75. :lol:
One does wonder how 'losing a butt' is a EMERGENCY actually. Does being butt-less cause catastrophic illness?

Is there some subtext to 'emergency' that escapes those of us who don't live in the US health care regime?
