At first I was tempted to dismiss May but there's a chance she was being perceptive and not just reflexively crass.

I'm inclined to think there was indeed some perception involved. After all, May's relationship advice for Dale - crass though it is - has proven to be very effective.

(click to show/hide)I wouldn't know about that, I haven't played Battletech games before. That said: I figure the company name is external, the mech names are internal. So I'd want a properly respectable and/or intimidating company name, but within the unit? Sure, mess around and have whimsical/weird names for each other to keep morale light.
(Current mech lineup, for funsies: King Crab "For Massive Damage," Highlander "Tactical Friendship," Stalker "Audible Whisper," Battlemaster "Aurorarray," and Dragon "Fools Rush In.")
Is it cold in here?:
Faye and Bubbles should adopt an emotional support dog together.
So now they go back to a shared bedroom without having had time to figure out what they're feeling and what to do about it. Awkward. Funny.
One level of prejudice is "Some of my best friends are ____ but would you want your sister to marry one?". We don't know how enlightened Faye is about robots. One of her best friends is one. Will she be able to handle the idea of marrying one?
Yes, marrying. Bubbles is a walking talking LTR. Long term as in she is going to outlive Faye. Can she commit to the level of grief she will endure sixty years from now? (Anyone have a link to that touching fanart of Momo kneeling at Marigold's grave?).
If they want kids they'll have to adoWE ARE WORKING ON THAT TECHNOLOGY.

(click to show/hide)Back in the days of Mechwarrior 4, I used to run a Shadowcat with 4 gauss cannons linked up in different combinations. Not a lot of ammo or heat sinks available, but oh my god, one combo salvo would take out most mechs. Especially fun if you sniped a leg from underneath an Atlas. Good times,

(click to show/hide)Have you read the Culture series by Iain Banks? The starships in that series are such advanced AIs that they're referred to as Minds, and they name themselves... with rather quirky results.
