Yeah, it's more-or-less as I thought. Bubbles is anti-violence in some way. I think that she and Faye are about to have a very illuminating conversation that is going to help Faye come to understand AIs and the difference between 'chassis type' and 'chosen profession'.
Bubbles was made to be a soldier; a killer. It's beginning to look like she prefers being a healer.
Is there some connection between robots/ anthropcs and Cronenberg? The only other time I remember someone saying 'Cronenbergian' in QC it was Pintsize with his thumb-limbs.
A guess: Cronenberg wrote, directed and produced
eXistenZ, a film about how constant use of virtual reality technology and immersive video-gaming would lead to people becoming disconnected with reality and uncertain of the division between the game world and objective reality. I've got a feeling that this would have a lot of extra meaning to AIs, whose hardware and data files would define their reality and, more importantly, how humans perceive their reality to be.
The lesson? Don't judge by what your senses initially tell you. Investigate and determine reality before reacting.
