--- Quote from: Tova on 20 Dec 2016, 19:06 ---I'm not a fan of the idea that Station could crack the encryption and thus solve the problem. If it's brute forced, then that would break my willing suspension of disbelief. If it's cracked via a backdoor, known weakness, or some other hand wave, then it's simply a deus ex machina.
They need to find a way to change the equation such that Corpse Witch wants to hand the key over more than she wants to destroy it or to retain Bubbles' service. In other words, they need leverage.
Detective Basilisk may be able to assist, but they'd have to consult her without Corpse Witch finding out, which may be a high risk strategy. Alternatively, Jeremy may know something.
They're not exactly racing against the clock, so they have time to gather information.

Sounds like someone needs to get ahold of Nathan "Nate" Ford and his crew.

Getting Alec Hardison on the case would effectively be a deus ex machina since he's probably capable of editing CW's consciousness as well. It would solve the problem tho.

Whatever happens, I get the impression it's going to be a bumpy ride before it is resolved.

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.

Corpse Witch is a creepy and manipulative gangster. We've seen nothing to indicate that she's any more of a sociopath than any other career criminal.
--- End quote ---
She has powers sufficient to subvert and change the minds of military AIs. She has a chip on her shoulder about humans.

Jeremy's gonna be dead when they get back, isn't he?
