Do you think she would?
--- End quote ---
In a heartbeat, yeah. There are some memories a person doesn't want to hang on to.
Perfectly Reasonable:
So it is now confirmed that transfer, back-up, and editing of an AI consciousness is possible. But we have -not- seen duplication of an AI. And I am sure we never will. Because Civil Rights? yeah, sure. Because only a few standard obedient AIs would be duplicated endlessly? dull, dull. Because Gary? Maybe.

--- Quote from: USS Martenclaire on 19 Dec 2016, 15:45 ---What did Corpse Witch want in return? Sure, she was "sympathetic" to Bubbles' plight but I'm equally certain there was a price tag attached. There usually is, when dealing with witches....
--- End quote ---
Bubbles' once wonderful singing voice.
But back to the new comic. So it seems that Momo was not unusual in her original opinion of Bubbles and it seems that Bubbles is a outcast to the greater AI community. No wonder she had to turn to someone like CW.
Morituri:
Okay, I just want to say something here.
VA Hospitals in the US are better than that!
I mean, I know they have problems, I know the paperwork jungle gets hip deep at times, I know their scheduling is right out of Kafka, I know that sometimes they have limited access to the most recent drugs and there are legal barriers to holding them accountable for malpractice, and all of that. Okay, I know that. They're run by a bureaucracy. That's kind of a given.
But scrapped program or no scrapped program, classified operational details or none, injuries received in action while operating under orders - even if the orders were wrong, stupid, or illegal - is what they are there to deal with and unless something VERY wrong is going on in the QC-verse they don't turn away from it.
"Never disclose operational details" means that the people you'll be talking over your problems with will have to have clearance, but VA hospitals will go to whatever lengths they have to go to to get someone involved in treatment appropriate clearance. PTSD is NOT a joke to those guys.
And there's a major VA hospital not far at all from real life northhampton.

Though it does suggest the origin of the threat about Bubbles losing her chassis; CW could suggest that Bubbles had spilled the beans about operational secrets, after which the government would impound her chassis.
--- End quote ---
I'm still of the feeling that the people Bubbles needed refuge from was just the general public. If the military wanted her chassis they wouldn't have released her with it. Actually I'm surprised it wasn't just turned in at CIF or whatever anyway.
But if general AI public and some parts of human public can't even deal with her walking around town, I can see CW giving her refuge from this. And playing it up, given her own sentiments.
YMMV with VA care.
