She tried. She just wasn't super good at it.

That depends entirely on what other upgrades she'll want to attract/keep his attention - she's already proved she's willing to change her chassis/configuration to get attention. Her boobage isn't anywhere close to Faye's size, so there's at least one other set of implants, maybe more if she steps up in sizes instead of going for "dayum" all at once. Then, depending on what his fetish(s) is/are, there could be more. She doesn't have real lips, since her face is a screen. Does that mean a head transplant? And can UR do one?
OTOH, she's a researcher, possibly even a grad student. So maybe this was the wad shot and if she doesn't get him, we'll see her moping around...

But what if Jones (I think) or the emu need a robotic prosthetic?

What makes you think so?
BenRG:
So, this is interesting. Long-term forumites might share my thoughts here: When talking about 'what else can Jeph do with the character of Marten', the discussion always becomes hypothetical when we talk about 'what does he want to do'. We have only a few ideas about what Marten really likes above all other things. What Jeph has done here is actually set where Marten's real interest lies, his 'if I could do anything, I'd do this'.
I've long felt that Marten is in many ways Jeph's self-insert in terms of the issues he's had with his life in terms of direction and personal relationships. Because of this, it always made sense to me that Jeph might ultimately take the character in the direction his own life went: Dropping everything (including a relatively comfortable job) in favour of a much riskier life strategy that he believes he would find more satisfying. Now, 'guitar repair guy' is a bit of a specialist field but that doesn't mean it isn't achievable!

She at least made the effort to initially couch this in a hypothetical way rather than be more direct. She could just as easily say: "Right, I'm going to get you into your dream career. Step one: Tell me what you want to do more than anything else and I'm not talking about your passive life-dreams here!"
Killspree:
Oh look, Claire's attempts to manipulate someone's life again.

This is a more apt response.
Ben maybe you do think that Claire’s opening gambit is a hypothetical question. I can see how it might be interpreted that way.
But having had direct career counseling recently, and having had the counsellor ask precisely that question, I don’t think that she was trying to pretend it was hypothetical any more than my counsellor was.
