Nigel:
I realize that forgetting the cable is "an important plot point", but seriously? It's like leaving your phone, keys, wallet AND insulin pump behind.
A bit of a challenge for my 'willing suspension of disbelief'.
TheEvilDog:
Maybe, if it was a date or something planned in advance.
But I doubt Sven thought "Maybe I'll hook up with an AI tonight. Better make sure I have the proper cable for her afterwards." Likewise, I doubt May would have thought she'd have her first sexual experience with a human that night, let alone the forethought that she might run out of power afterwards.
I imagine that an AI forgetting their power cable would be like a human forgetting their keys. It can happen.

On the other hand, forgetting my keys usually does not result in me becoming unconscious with no way to ever regain consciousness unless an external party assists me. Forgetting a power cable is a legitimate threat to their life, in other words, so one would think they would do everything in their power to always have one.
Side note: considering their apparent complete reliance on power/charging for their consciousness, to me it makes little sense for the AIs in QC not to have such hardware built in their body/chassis.....
Timemaster:
On May forgetting her charger: my daughter is asthmatic since her 13th birthday. Not severely, but nonetheless. She is 19 years old now. That doesn‘t keep her from regularly forgetting her asthma inhaler at home when she goes out. So go figure...
Sven, what‘s the problem? Put May on your couch, put a blanket over her, leave a note just in case. And then go to the convenience store where you‘ve seen her coming from and get her friggin charging cable. Plug her in and wait till she boots up. If she doesn‘t, give Faye a call and ask for advice. Simple as that.

Is it cold in here?:
It is likely May's first time with a human.
If I were naked and having the vulnerability that comes of doing things for the first time, hearing "That was weird" would hurt.
