Whilst May's appearance has definitely changed, it's good to see that she's still got the same body language and expressions. I have no doubt that Jeph spent a lot of time agonising about how he was going to fit them onto May's new form!
Well, Lemon, in answer to your question, I think that, right now, May feels overwhelmed and more than a little euphoric with her new living experience. She's got a body that feels sort-of-like how her humans feel, she's added about 30cm to the level of her eyes and it has a list of capabilities that she never even
imagined having!
I wonder if part of Lemon's job right now is to stay with May and keep her distracted until her euphoria wears off? Otherwise, she may go running around wanting to test out all of her new functions a bit too quickly. We don't want her damaging her nice, shiny new chassis by going wild on us, do we?
Regarding 'orifice management', I suspect that she's finding that, much to her surprise, they have functions other than sexual and I wonder if she's looking forward to try
those out too!
May's longer "whoa" as she looks around for the first time makes me realize that her old chassis was probably substandard in ways other than its durability. Her sensory suite was probably also low quality, and this may well be May's first time seeing the world with senses the same or better than those of an average human.
I hadn't thought of that but, yes, especially her olfactory and tactile senses are likely
much better. Additionally, the sensors on old chassis were likely as defective as the rest of it and she may have had colour and sound glitches. So, this may be the first time she's really
experienced the world from a humanoid perspective without problems.
