...I think the helmet is to protect her brain/AI drive from potential reprisals from a very bewildered moose. Hence, the saving up part, so she can take the better deal, and get the better chassis.
But hey, read it in whatever light that makes it easiest to villainize her more.
I'm also gonna point this out: May's eyes are doing the whole "I feel angry, but I'm coming down off it and I'm probably gonna feel like shit and apologize later" type of look before she gets distracted by...um...animal husbandry endevors.
I'd like to see this play out still. I trust in Jeph's writing abilities, and there's a good chance he's not going to leave May's situation unaddressed. Either more people are going to give perspectives, and at least some are gonna agree, or ultimately either way May's gonna pony up to an apology.

--- Quote from: neurocase on 17 Aug 2017, 21:11 ---First: May has no remorse. She knows she lashed out at someone who had no malicious intent, and instead of having even a crumb of introspection enough to say "What he did was thoughtless and bothered me, but maybe I was a little hard on him since he didn't know" she doubles down and calls him a "little fuck" and a "dick" behind his back. There's a fine line between being uncompromising in your beliefs and principles, and being downright petty about them out of bitterness and spite.

There's also a not-so-fine line between time passing in fiction and time passing in reality. You've had days to stew over May's behavior; she's had maybe a few hours. Maybe take a minute to breathe and let it play out.

Just a thought: It just occurred to me that Momo was aware of the "criminal hitchhiker" while May was participating in the virtual companion program. Not just of her present, but also of her status. Does this mean that there is some way for AI to detect and identify each other other than visual identification? Though it might possibly be explained as a flag for convict.
Though I agree that perceived privilege should not put a target on one's back, I'll no further comment before today's comic is up. Let's see how it plays out.

This is only a guess but I think that she could detect the high-bandwidth connection between Dale's glasses and whatever server from which May was working. Somehow she was able to connect to this wirelessly and become a third party in the mini-network.

hmm interesting thought but bubbles didn't recognize winslow until he said it was him so I am not sure some auto I know you function is there. plus when momo got a new body he didn't know she wasnt in the old chasis until he hooked up a connector to her old body and saw it was empty. Although it could be a matter of hardware limitations.
