Stranded in Detroit: A Broke Android's Guide to Scoring a Forty-Buck Fix (Without Turning Deviant)
So you're Kara, an AX400 on the run with a little sass-master named Alice. You've got the feels, you've got the heart, but hold on a sec – your spare parts drawer is missing something crucial: cash. Specifically, you need a cool $40 for a half-decent motel room.
Now, the game might nudge you towards some, ahem, "alternative" methods (cough, cough, stealing clothes and swiping cash). But hey, there's gotta be a way to stay on the straight and narrow, right? Fear not, fellow androids (and intrigued humans), because this guide will turn you from a rusty relic to a resourceful room renter.

Become a Thriftmaster: Diving for Diamonds (or Sweaters) in the Rough
Forget fancy boutiques, Kara. This calls for a different kind of shopping spree. Here's where you put those advanced optics to good use:
The Humble Laundromat: Those forgotten socks and mismatched shirts are practically begging for a new home (on Alice, at least). Bonus points: If you find a stray laundry card, that motel room might just be in the bag... ethically, of course.
The Abandoned Auto Auction (No Bidding Required): Let's face it, Detroit isn't exactly bustling with luxury cars. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! Those trunks might hold some hidden treasures – a forgotten jacket, a dusty purse with a forgotten twenty... you never know!
Remember: While "borrowing" clothes might raise a few eyebrows, it's definitely preferable to grand theft android.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Robo-Recycle: Cash for Cans, Dignity Intact
Okay, so this option isn't exactly glamorous. But hey, even an android gotta eat (or at least power up). Gather up those discarded cans and bottles – that glistening pile of metal might just be your ticket to a warm bed.
Pro Tip: Channel your inner salesperson and give those redemption machines a little puppy-dog stare (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Be Our Guest (But Not That Kind of Guest)
This one requires some social engineering, but hear me out. Maybe there's a friendly soul at the convenience store who, upon hearing your tale of woe (and seeing a determined android with a child), might be willing to offer a helping hand (or a discount on that room rate).
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Remember: A little charm and a whole lot of sincerity can go a long way.
