That is assuming that Bubbles isn't smart enough, or capable enough an engineer, to make it look like an unfortunate hardware failure in an old and primitive chassis. A tragedy; Bubbles will, of course, fully cooperate with any investigation into the circumstances. However, it does seem that, possibly due to her debatably-legal lifestyle, Corpse Witch had neglected her proper chassis inspection and certification schedule.
Cold? Yes, but a soldier is trained to pull a trigger on an enemy, no matter whether or not they were shot at first.
WareWolf:
So, what we know is:
1) Bubbles has "people" who likely mean her harm. Would "people" include other AI's? Maybe, but I tend to think not. I thin CW would have used different wording if so.
2) Bubbles has memories she voluntarily "locked away" and gave the key to Corpse Witch. Could be memories she can't/won't face. Or it could be information that she can't delete that makes her to dangerous to leave alive, so she thinks she can bargain her way out of it by telling the powers that be she can't get to it if they ever catch up to her. Or she's already made that bargain, and if CW unlocks them, she'll then tell the PTB and they'll send someone even scarier than Bubbles to clean up the mess.
I dunno, just plot-storming here. Stay tuned.

She could get away with murder, but like I said if Corpse Witch meets with an untimely end what's to stop one of her associates from unlocking the memories or quite possibly a deadman's switch if she doesn't trust anyone to carry out posthumous deeds? Bubbles would have her freedom, but be plagued with bad memories which is her primary motivation to continue working for Corpse Witch.
BenRG:
Bubbles needs to confront those memories; ideally in a controlled environment with the close assistance of one or more of the God AIs like Station. However, if that option doesn't open itself to her then that is just the way the dice have fallen. Running away from them has done nothing good for her and continuing to run can do nothing good.

..and no one has made the connection as to how similar Bubbles situation is to Faye's?
