--- Quote from: ANeM on 12 Jan 2017, 19:56 ---I fear more and more that GreyCreep was sent by Corpse Witch. Rather than unlocking Bubbles memories the intended goal here is to encrypt or erase the memories of Faye to bring her Bubbles in line.
Beyond that, I find this whole plot thread to have progressed surprisingly quickly. It has only been 20 pages since Bubbles revealed her secret.

If Uptown Envy really works for Corpse Witch then she is definitely more than meets the eye. I could imagine that she's similar to other human criminals who look like ordinary people, but run a vast criminal enterprise like The Wire's Proposition Joe or The Soprano's Uncle Junior. She might just be, but I don't think she's on the same level as who our mysterious stranger represents.
Perhaps Corpse Witch used to work for them which might explain another reason for helping Bubbles. I've likened this stranger to Fullmetal Alchemist's Envy and maybe Corpse Witch is the equivalent of Greed.
Regarding vomiting that's one thing an AI is not missing and an experience I'd be more than happy to eliminate if I could upgrade out of my mortal coil.
Is it cold in here?:

Over-analyzing things is fun!

Welcome, new person!
That would be darker than we're used to, but Jeph does seem to be trying new things.
Bubbles with her memories back, active PTSD, and her current chassis could easily go in dark directions as well if Albino Creepatron is on the level.
BenRG:
That was a sweet little moment between Faye and Bubbles. Jeph has been doing a very good job telling a story of a friendship between them that has been only good for both parties. I can hear the shippers going 'Squeee!' from my seat here!
That aside, that was a lovely bit of Emily and a reminder of just how strange and different her perception of the universe and of life can be. She really, really needs a close friend dogging her steps and making sure that she doesn't ever injure herself in pursuit of an 'intense experience'. The time she hit Bubbles with a hammer indicates that, whilst intelligent, she doesn't have much common sense when it comes to things like that!
--- Quote from: Gyrre on 12 Jan 2017, 20:28 ---Hmmm.... I wonder if CreepyPasty is an artificially created organic entity that's had cybernetic components interwoven with the organic components, not a traditional cyborg so much as a bio-mechanical being.

That's my feeling, yes. Something like the Gen-3 Synths from Fallout 4 - A human-like chassis made of synthetically-created biological components seamlessly merged with electronic components to enable the AIs to operate through the cereberal cortex. A true android, as it is frequently described in golden-age sci-fi rather than the cruder 'meat over a metal frame' form that was popularised in The Terminator or the 'pre-programmed clone' from Blade Runner. I can honestly hearing the dev team for that chassis telling a sceptical Dr Elicott-Chatham that this represents 'the next evolutionary step of AI and human alike'.
Gyrre:
--- Quote from: Timemaster on 12 Jan 2017, 09:36 ---I suppose Jeph introduced Agent Peroxide and the whole "almost omnipotent AI"-stuff to get Emily into Bubbles brain as soon as possible. Maybe he got tired of all this drama and hoplesness. After a few days thinking about it, I´m fine with this.
And I love Agent Peroxide. Come to think of it, maybe he uses the "we" because he´s not an independet AI of his own, but rather a drone, a representation of one or more of those friggin´powerful AI´s themselves. :-D
So I suppose (or rather hope) we´ll get a loog inside Bubbles brain. Can´t wait for this to happen. What will it look like? Something in manga-style is a good guess I think.
Or maybe Its something like Gunnerkrigg Court: New Data:

Or a real classic: Doonesbury: The Return to Reagans Brain (1987):

Huuh, I can´t wait. 8-)

TRON is the obvious one, so I'll mention Kabuki Quantum Fighter.
