I was about to. Both have assaulted Corpse Witch. Only one got fired.
Hmm.
themacnut:
CW has nothing on Faye, and was probably all too happy to be rid of her with all the trouble she caused. Bubbles, on the other hand, she wants to keep around.
TheEvilDog:
Mayhaps Corpse Witch and Bubbles are fragments of the same AI, split to save the original AI from cascade failings over its actions in combat.
CW's manipulations is that of someone wishing to keep their other half close by and fearful of their other half leaving them.
Take that how you will because I am too tired to elaborate.

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.

That's easier said than done especially for humans. People can suffer traumatizing memories that will last the rest of their lives, but have one advantage in that such things fade over time. An AI would likely remember every single detail of what happened without any degradation and because they are effectively immortal such memories will haunt them for eternity. I cannot blame Bubbles in the least for taking the steps she did to lock away her memories.
pwhodges:
The presumption in this discussion seems to be that Corpse Witch can forcibly decrypt Bubbles's memories if she wishes. What reason have we to suppose that she could? Or is the presumption that Bubbles is so determined to keep potential access to her locked away memories that she won't risk having Corpse Witch destroy the key (in which case the same puzzle applies to how it comes about that CW has removed the key from Bubbles). It would be easier to suppose that CW and Bubbles are friends who agreed over this arrangement - but then the blackmail feels out of place.
I'm still completely unclear how Jeph is going to make this play out.
