shanejayell:
May may have enough for a new body! Now what?

BenRG:
My bet is that next week will be mostly May searching for a new chassis (with the still rumbling-on emotional implications which she is still struggling to handle). I'm guessing that we'll meet May v.3 (v.1 being the AR avatar) before the end of August.

Mr_Rose:
I’ve been wondering if Mays status is going to affect things at all. Like is she permitted to receive the benefit of online anything as part of the terms of her parole? Yeah technically she didn’t set up the website or solicit donations, nor did she get involved at all, but the law can be an ass like that.
Or if the AI’s at the body shop will make trouble for her, pretending not to have the correct transfer cable or claiming that, again, parole terms prevent it because it’s technically online activity somehow?

Crap. Hadn't thought of those issues.

I was mostly wondering if the terms of her parole allowed her to transfer to a new chassis.
Though, May is allowed to use that messenger program. Is that online or more akin to texting?

Is it cold in here?:

That one would be easy to work around. Union Robotics could order a complete chassis as easily as they order parts.

I'm more worried about the parole terms. For humans, a housing plan has to be approved, and changes of address must at least be reported. For a synthetic, there's the issue that changing their appearance could be used to avoid detection after a crime.
