St.Clair:
is that the wiring?  the battery?
this could get bad real quick.

Cheetaur:
Seems May's body is a literal fire sale item. Get it while its hot. LOL

Gus_Smedstad:
I hate it when my head falls off.

That actually reminds me of a bit in a novel about an early artificial intelligence. For a while it's housed in a fairly dodgy body, and it stops in a barn to try and repair a knee joint. As part of that, it loosens its neck-joint so as to get a better look at the knee. While it's doing this, a human comes in and surprises it. The AI turns around a bit too quickly and its head falls off.

Thus ensues a comedic dialog, in which the human talks about how he's alarmed by "you and your trick head."

But - yep, that's May  :laugh:

...And yes, it looks like May changed up just in time!  Imagine if old May had bumped her head on something - and it fell off... Picture the scene :
Uncontrolled robot body blundering around (cue the headless chicken jokes), traumatized people screaming, while May's head is lying on the floor in a corner, cursing a blue streak...

Come to think of it, that would have been hilarious  :evil:

Imagine if she'd bumped her head while she and Sven were having their adventures, and THEN her internal workings CAUGHT FIRE. The instant panic of that moment :psyduck:


This really does seem like it could've been fatal to her (surely not well reinforced) core if it had happened before she was transferred, though. That's so disturbing to think about. How many AI ex-cons have hit that kind of random fatal hardware snag? If their internal workings just randomly fried, how many of them would have someone who'd think to report anything about finding their trash heap used body lying on the floor in a permanent powered down state?

I think Momo is the AI she hangs out with the most, so that probably was the first hair style that came to her mind. But I still think it's sweet she does it that way.


As the body apparently is supposed to be recycled, I take it it belonged to May. Kinda would explain why it is THAT crappy. Kind of like "I need a humanoid body. What's the cheapest we can get, but still working?"
