Tova:
Yeah, I think you're right. A double whammy of an emotional story and a challenge to her beliefs.
jwhouk:
Yeah, it's PTSS.
Is it cold in here?:

Because it's such an informative case of "compare and contrast", and because Momo seems to be coming from the same place in both cases. She was afraid that May would reinforce or create a hateful stereotype and would thus undermine human support for AI civil rights. She was, maybe still is, afraid that Bubbles going to war reinforced a stereotype of dangerous robots and would thus undermine human support for AI civil rights.
She's listening with an open mind, I believe.

Bubbles's eyes in panel 3. How on earth does Jeph make things so expressive.

Bubbles is making it sound like she had that chassis before enlisting. Seems unlikely, but if so, where did it come from?

When she says, "With this body, I am superhuman," she may have meant "with this body that I received upon enlisting," in contrast to the artificial intelligence she already had.
"A state of the art weapon that can think, reason, and empathize." Echos of Ender's Game right there...
Morituri:
I suspect that something is likely to happen where Momo experiences an impulse to give Bubbles a hug.
If fate is kind to them both she will be conscious enough to ask permission first.
