I fear you may be correct.

There are two other option, though.
1) They could return to find that some of his memories have now been partitioned off and encrypted.
2) Corpse Witch will have been partially dismantled by him as he successfully defends himself from CW attempt at additional option 1.

Kugai:
And this is where Pintsize joins the conversation.


Or Hanners makes one of her 'Mysterious And Startling Appearances' and says  "Umm, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and ....."

Tova:
Plot twist: Jeremy is Eve.

Is it cold in here?:
Even if the procedure can be done legally it looks like Corpse Witch is the equivalent of a back alley abortion provider.

Crypto that can be broken feasibly is useless and there's no reason to apply it to anything.

Can AIs lie in court? Or do they testify via authenticated memory read outs? If the latter, proving blackmail beyond a reasonable doubt gets easy.  CW could take the 5th but Bubbles could assent to a memory dump.

Jeph didn't answer when, long ago, I asked how life could be endurable for a being who experiences painful emotions and also has a perfect memory. We're starting to see his answer.

BenRG:
I'm still betting that this arc is heading towards Bubbles realising that, firstly, Corpse Witch is never going to let go of her leverage over her and, thus, the memories are gone for good, absent a Deus Ex Machina. Secondly, a realisation that what is needed is for her to get on with her life as a least worst solution. That involves Corpse Witch in jail and the Fighting League legitimised in some way.

Can humans lie in court? There isn't any real difference except the amount of silicon in the mix.

As for the memory dump, I've the feeling that this would have the same legal controls as audio-video recordings. Without the clear consent of the person filmed, they are not admissible.


--- Quote from: brasca on 21 Dec 2016, 15:40 ---Two million years or ten years in Corpse Witch's employment.  Seems like an easy enough choice since we don't know how long Bubbles has been working for her already.  However, I suspect that after ten years Bubbles will be so complicit in Corpse Witch's business that she'll have no choice, but to continue working for her even if gets the key back.

I agree with others who say that there is a zero percent chance of Corpse Witch ever giving Bubbles the encryption key. There will always be an excuse for not doing so and the threat that if Bubbles objects, it is deleted.


[edit]
Oops, forgot to mention what the second thing was!
