brasca:
That expression Bubbles gives in the 4th panel makes me think that Bubbles doesn't know if something bad is going on, but is going to find out before she makes the next big decision.
Tova:
I don't know either, but CW may have experienced an unexplained chill, wherever she is.
TheEvilDog:
Given the context of what Faye is saying, I suspect that Bubbles in panel 4 is more looking back in the general direction of CW's office. Faye is freaking out, be it the threat of being arresting or the realisation that her job is doing something far worse than she suspected.
Which makes sense to a degree. Where does the repair stock come from? Its heavy and presumably specialised machinery and presumably a license is needed for some of those materials. Given that you can't just go to a mechanic to get repairs (as evidenced by May and her problem), as well as CW's comment about taking the cost out of Faye's wages, one can then infer that CW is getting her resources from less than legal sources. Now, it could be stuff "that had fallen off the back of a truck" or mis-labelled, but given the severity of the comments from the cop and CW, and bear in mind this is just a theory, CW is getting some of the fighters to steal the materials. If they get caught, they can be cut loose and let to go down by themselves and it does explain why she's kept Bubbles at arms length, Bubbles was probably the only one who could do proper repairs on the fighters.

Or just cause all the locks to release ...

May's problems come from having an out of production chassis, which the government won't pay to fix or replace, and not having enough income to pay for repairs.
