She seems to have a streak of vanity.
= Spindriver =She's wearing an advanced military chassis with scads of capabilities that are going highly underutilized. I imagine she's feeling the urge to "stretch her muscles."
She's a house cat? That's exactly a housecat's philosophy
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for youThe obvious solution is she should become a private eye.
Or a superhero.
I'm Charlie Owens, good night and good luck. PSNID: CEOIII 1117Mechanic by day. Private eye by night. Pizza Girl on weekends.
It's Bubbles, the Multifaceted Military Machine!
The one thing Bubbles wouldn't be good at is sneaking. But she does have a PI-worthy trenchcoat.
#4105. We're jumping around a lot this week.
Dang, Marigold is no longer the most dysfunctional in the apartment, I'm so proud.
"You are never taller then when standing up for yourself"Is it just me, or does Marigold look like she's been taking better care of herself lately?
If so, good for her!
Having a significant other is the perfect motivation to keep a consistent hygiene schedule. Skin and hair are cleaner and healthier as a result.
This is like the defense not putting their client on the stand. Just don't have May actually say or write anything for your GoFundMe, and you're golden.
I suppose Spookybot will end up paying for all of it.
As nice as Dale and Marigold have been, could you imagine them talking about working more hours and taking out loans for May's sake even the last time they all had a storyline together? She's really a part of this weird little family now.
Okay, I just feel even worse for May now. Like, girl deserves more breaks than she's gotten. I sincerely hope the plotline with Roko ends up somewhere good for May.
Hitokiri in the streets, daishouri in the sheets.From my go-arounds with depression May's point of view here is very familiar.
And now I'm jealous that I don't have a buxom friend to hug me into their chest.
On one hand, May's crimes were kind of serious — trying to steal an airplane is no joke.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure being shoved into an outdated body prone to falling apart is almost certainly Cruel And Unusual Punishment.

Disgusted, but not surprisedShe's already served her sentence, her punishment should be over
Oh really when?Technically she's on parole. Oh, and I was wrong earlier — she didn't try to steal an airplane. She tried to steal hundreds of millions of dollars to buy an airplane so she could become it.

Disgusted, but not surprisedHmmm. Would it be a parole violation to transfer to a new chassis, at least without getting approval first?
Fresh-eyed movie blogAs long as she's fulfilling the conditions of her parole, it's not a violation. The main issue is that she straight up cannot afford a new body since fulfilling those conditions also rather severely limits her job opportunities.
Disgusted, but not surprisedI imagine she'll need to register the new body with them, if not exactly ask for permission, in the same way she'd need to file a change of address. On the other hand, since she also meets with her parole officer regularly, she couldn't exactly hide a new chassis.
If the new body were an airplane, they'd probably object...
In real-world parole cases with humans, I wouldn't be surprised if you're required to report major changes of appearance (plastic surgery, alteration or addition of tattoos, etc), or gaining the ability to travel out of the country, since both would increase the risk of you trying to drop out of sight of your parole officer, and similarly, I suspect the robot parole board would expect the same.
That said, I haven't found any indication that there are such rules about changing one's appearance when on parole...
Given that she’s literally a computer program I’m sure they have better ways of tracking her than simply relying on her chassis’s appearance.
He only thing the story has presented as being an impediment to getting a better body is her inability to afford one.
Given that, back when Faye was starting work with the robot fighting ring and May was giving her background info on the fights and on the military AI program, she was in the habit of loudly denying that she watches any such fights on the Internet for fear of the Man listening in, you might be onto something there.
The robot equivalent of a tracking anklet is literally just spyware...
I'm more interested in Bubbles' apparent yearning for detecting something unseen in this strip.
