I think there are other problems there. First sexroids are clearly illegal.... you can't legally make or own one. On Earth... that space station is not
actually part of any country in the first place... so no laws (including international ones apparently) actually matter to them. Its the fact the Battlemover
was on Earth that was the main issue. On the space station it is a grey area as laws tend not to exist there... Technically, if we consider sexroids are
called property at that time... and so was the battlemover... She may be legally responsable for 3 cases of arms smuggling.... if she is not her owners would
be... but they are out of range to laws. You have to own/control an area before you can apply laws to it.
Then you get into the reason she killed people... food. A requirement that was from specific design flaws/measures/etc... built into them in the first place.
Which is Generos and Gemone fault. As she was property and had no free will offically she could argue it was because of something hard coded which no longer
exists. The problem isn't the murders or arms smuggling. The real issue that would get her in trouble (Madigan wouldn't exactly fight against the
executives involved going away, so only random Genome execs and the buyer country would send assassins) is that she is the perfect springboard for getting laws
applied to Generos. Which laws? That is the major sticking point. Who's laws apply here? A specific country (only the really big ones can take a shot
at calling dibs.) No, it'd be like those wiggy 'international waters' rules... questionable, largely ugly to deal with, and just a plain mess.
That is before you go into how far up do a nations borders actaully go rules? Do those borders only go straight up or do they splay out after a certain
distance. Etc.. etc..
So these two random escapy sexroids are political platinum for the one world government, space as a new type of governable area people. Its a
legalistic nightmare wrapped in grandiose agendas, wrapped in grey areas, wrapped in the extraterrestrial future of mankind. The problem isn't then that
the Execs and Buyer nation are sending assassins... its that assassins and counter assassins globally are going to swarm like maggots in a corpse. It will be
espionage bedlam. Pure chaotic, unofficial bedlam.
