Does Faye know about Hannelore's dad?

She knew about Hanners, Marten and Marigold visiting the Space Station of Hanners Dad,
and also Hanners talked about her parents to Faye back when she shortend her hair and
Faye was trimming it, so I am pretty shure Faye knows that.

I am also waiting for them to draw the "Hanners, can I ask you a big favour"-Card.

Zebediah:
It wouldn't even be that big a favor to ask. Hannelore knows and likes Bubbles, and if she knew how much  her giant robot friend was hurting she'd be on the phone to her dad in a second.

I think the main issue would be, that the military is also present on the Space Station and that Hanners Dad
is also a little paranoid of secret robots.  :-D

But isn't Station the First AI? And the most powerful AI? I doubt they would need to go to Station when an uplink would suffice and Station would crack any encryption that CW could have created. Perhaps not as quick as might be liked but not years or months either - that's one big AI up there.

Thrudd:
On the question regarding cloning or copying of an AI.

Clone - An organism that is produced asexually from and is genetically identical to a single ancestor.

So the clone would not be the original but formed from the same core matrix - experiences and such would be different during the incubation process and therefore a different individual would result.

Copy - make a similar or identical version of

This would seem to be much simpler depending on the methodology used but here there is an assumption that either the image is static or the copy process is instantaneous. I doubt either is true just like if you underwent and MRI the technicians insist you minimize all movements.

An AI is not a static system but a dynamic always active system like any other "mind".
Copying methods available now or near now are not capable of taking instantaneous 3D snapshot images of anything. If something is moving there will be blur and data loss. You can copy a static program file but you can't copy a program that is running. It is just not possible unless you imaging system is operating at least twice as the fastest state change of what is being imaged if the system is digital. The only theoretic way is to take an image in a single moment in time.

A good graphic example would be making a slow scan image of an active clockwork movement.  The image will not look anything like the original.
