Kugai:
Interesting
And somewhat compelling
I wonder if they'll do a Rain Dance next.
Perfectly Reasonable:
I firmly believe that Emily's code -did- compile. Then it hijacked the compiler.

The silly men in black suits said that it was bad but she doesn't really understand why. Because it is part of the game, she'll keep their secret; silly people! Pretending that they would hurt her parents! Tee-hee-hee!

I think this hits it on the head. Not mental illness, not trolling, not testing Clinton, just a determinedly juvenile viewpoint. And yes, it was real code that really was dangerous. But Emily wrote it thinking it was just a way to make the satellites less lonely. (I'm assuming if they have AI's to hand out to random slackers like Marten, then the satellites have AI's too.)
It is a bit rich for Claire to be denigrating Clinton's humor skilz; she's the queen of execrable puns. Bear in mind that the only character to laugh at them was Emily, and it's not clear she even got the joke.
Clinton's in for a wild ride.
BenRG:
Dang... Now I want to see Emily dance! Actually, what I want is to see today's strip from Emily and Clinton's POV so that we can verify how accurate are Marten and Claire's impressions of events. It's quite possible that Emily and Clinton are having a very different conversation than the one Marten and Claire think that they are having!
So, I was right: the portrait of Claire was her bantering with Marten. It's interesting that they have such compatible viewpoints. Now... Did Claire really want this to work? She certainly gives that impression in panels 2 and 4.
I still think that poor Clinton will end the day dazed, confused, with a girlfriend and not understand how. This will set the tone for his association with Emily.

While I'm sure that's not wrong, as she'd still have to be standing in front of that window, it should be noted that's not actually the same pic in panel 4.
Puns may still be incoming.
