Brun's backstory

<< < (3/4) > >>

Yes, the original method for a human to acquire a companion AI was a matching process. But that was before the Singularity, so the process may have changed. But as you said, Momo is her own person now. She is no longer in a "pool" waiting to be matched with someone. So it has nothing to do with her "being partnered" with anyone. She has made several friends on her own, so there really is no reason she could not make friends with Brun, and to try to get her to become more socially engaged. Since she does have a social protocol database, she is uniquely qualified for such an endeavor.

Gyrre:
Good points

Is it cold in here?:
Indeed that's what I had in mind, Momo being a helpful friend as opposed to entering a companionship relationship. Which must not have been clear given that I had just mentioned companionship contracts right before.

Except you didn’t even mention “contracts” at all. So I thought it was pretty clear, given that you said “Momo may have some more free time now”, which seems to imply that her time is her own to do with as she pleases. She may or may not still be legally bound to Marigold (I don’t know how exactly the Singularity affected Companion AI contracts, or if the contracts were more like just a proof-of-purchase all along), but even if she is, she is a “companion”, not a “prisoner”. She can come and go as she pleases.

Hmmmmm, interaction between Momo and Brun? that could be interesting. Not sure if it'd work out all that well though.

Momo is a rather...uptight person, which could cause some problems with some of Brun's behaviors that are outside of the normal social protocols (getting in close to sniff BO, sliding along the carpet, etc). She's very diplomatic, but diplomacy tends to either sail over Brun's head (again, the sniffing, or her obliviousness to Clinton's attraction in the alternate coffee shop - or, apparently, any attraction more subtle than what she needs to chase away with a harpoon) or fall into what she's sensitized to understand as belittling (Clinton's reluctance to explain Elliot's reaction). And while Momo does try to be helpful and understanding, she loses patience when when people are obstinate about behavior she considers bothersome (Marigold's pity parties and later, constant bangin'; potentially, Brun's mulishness about getting up and going out, or doing things without consideration to others).

Though even if they would get on each others' nerves it would be interesting to see.
