Wonder if they'll end up at Union Robotics? Or are they too new to be a good expert on May's body?
Perfectly Reasonable:
The Now Now Now requirement probably means the job ends up with Union Robotics simply because they're willing to do whatever it takes to get the business.
Also I would totally buy a CD of Roko doing rhythm gymnastics.

I’m thinking that when Nelson has a day off everything falls apart and he might be happy to have one competent volunteer. But even if he sees her as a rival I don’t think Roko will involve Spookybot. She doesn’t have a problem with being assertive, but there are lines she won’t cross.

I was thinking that too, first. But UR only does repairs, May needs a whole new body. So they‘re better off in a shop that actually sells complete chassis, either new or used in good condition and with warranty.
Beeps reminds me of people who are completely incompetent in any way and unable to manage even their own life. Often those people are very insecure when interacting with other people and are somehow aware of their own shortcomings, but are in complete denial about them. So they try to cmpensate that by choosing a career „to help other people“.
Often they study sociology, social pedagogy or become teachers for elementary schools. And fail utterly when they really have to work in that area. So they quit (after two or three years, tops) and move on to an everyday job and voluntary work like Beepatrice, where they fail too, of cause.
They mostly end in jobs, where they can do no harm and do not have to accomplish anything too complicated.
One of them I know from my graduation 30 years ago teaches gardening to mentally incapaciated people for 20 years now. She‘s happy in that job and does it really well. Her students love her. But it took her ten years (including studying social pedagogy as mentioned above) to find her way.
I hope Beeps will find her way too. But she definitely hasn‘t arrived in her place yet.

I'm more and more certain that this is the first time the charity has ever done anything practical. I also think that, maybe, Beepatrice really doesn't have much in the way of self-confidence so actually being told to do something - Priority NOW - is seriously unbalancing her peace of mind! I mean... what if someone takes offence? What if she oversteps her (borderline non-existent) authority? What if she gets it wrong?!?
I think that the only thing actually holding her to cooperation at this point is that I'm increasingly sure that she's intimidated by Roko's drive to make a difference!

"Miz Basilisk, that was an interesting display you put on today but... what in Turing's Pristine Runspace made you think that we are supposed to do anything for our clients except listen and commiserate? Do you know how many angry senior figures in the Department of Corrections I have waiting for an explanation for this? No, I'm sorry. Your priorities are laudable but this isn't the place for you. You're fired."
