I hope not, if only because that'd mean monitoring everyone she is around.

Well yeah. How did you think Jeph was getting all this info?
Method of Madness:
I told him.
Perfectly Reasonable:
So if Bubbles is 'a little bit Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh', I suppose that makes Momo a little bit Chiyo-chan?
(Makes Spot Obvious check, rerolls)

--- Quote from: Morituri on 16 Nov 2015, 20:18 ---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.

Not an impulse - a conscious decision. And after asking permission.
"We must not let their fear stop us from doing good." We bear the responsibility of doing our best to see that it is good though. Not that that's any guarantee that we're right. The responsibility is all the greater when it comes to military action.
I think many of us in this forum would give Bubbles a hug if we could right now. Also provide an absorbent shoulder and a sympathetic ear.
I would also like to give some "superior AIs" a piece of my mind, or at least, some well-meant advice from another entity that can think, reason, and empathise. Momo's doing pretty well so far though, maybe they should listen to her.
BenRG:
"Some people will always fear us. We must not allow that fear to stop us doing good." Those are profound and wonderful words. They are also very, very wise words from which Momo can learn much. There is really no point waiting for the haters to shut up because they won't. There will always be those too fearful and too determined to cling to their illusions that constrain the universe around them to accept things that lie outside their fixed view of reality. You'll never have their approval, so why make yourself miserable seeking it?
I think that, tomorrow, we're going to learn just went so very terribly wrong in Bubbles' past. I think that she's suffering untreated battlefield trauma (the loss of friends and the strains of combat). However, I bet that, from an objective viewpoint, she's a heroine who saved many lives. Ironically, it is the forcible annulment by legal fiat of the AIs' military service that has stopped Bubbles receiving assistance from the VA as well as public recognition of her valour.
It might be interesting if Momo finds herself wondering whether the well-intentioned prohibition of AIs in the military that her own particular group favoured and may have even campaigned to get in place has caused more harm than good.

Sorry, failed to finish the post first time; not enough sleep, I guess!
