I'm a little sad about the hate being thrown Reina's way, but I can understand it.
The thing is, we don't know what Cuntsandra, a long-time client, said to get Reina to change her mind about hiring MC. If it was just Reina bending to Cass' influence I could see us thinking less of Reina. But let's face it: Cuntsandra did what Cuntsandra has done all chapter - she made up an egregious lie that made MC unemployable.
Reina didn't know MC. She didn't know Cass and MC had a history. She knew Cass. It's a very simple decision, and if it weren't MC being hurt by it, we'd all understand and sympathise. But because it's "us", some people are just writing her off and I think that's a shame.
But now the tv spot has changed everything.
Reina now knows she was played. I fully expect an apology and a renewed job offer early in the next update. I also expect Reina to drop Cass and Co as a client due to her blatant dishonesty. MC would be a total fool to turn down the job offer due to a completely understandable action on Reina's part, followed by this correction.
But the tv spot also put a huge target on MC and Kindra's backs. Koko works, which means the original code that Cass dismissed works, which means Cass needs to get her hands on that original code, which means Cass and Co are coming for Koko. Now you'll start to see why MC's military training was displayed so prominently in the first Chapter. Shit is going to go down.
IV has a lot of connections. Working for them will help MC stay on the radar and make it harder for Cass to just quietly take him out.
The INK girls go along with that, especially cop girl who has training and connections with the police.
MC is going to need a network soon. And these girls are a great network to have.
Plus, y'know, the sexing. Making the sex in the sexy way. Those girls are hot.
