I'm sufficiently creeped out by them that I'll just call them by whatever they tell me to call them, and then never repeat it in case it results in their return.
Question to ponder- people have said a lot about the effect that rediscovering her memories will have on Bubbles, which is fair enough. But given Lennox of the Endless mentioned something about Emily having to "go in" to unlock those memories, does that imply that Emily will experience them as well? And if so, what kind of effect will that have on her? If she's just seeing from a remote perspective, like viewing a movie that could be bad enough, but if she gets a full on sensory experience of something that induced PTSD in a badass combat-trained AI Valkyrie, I'd be concerned for Emily's mental health by the end of the procedure.

Wait, was there ever any semblance of mental health on Emily to begin with?
On other news, I'm pretty astonished by how Mercedes went "Wouldn't work" on the physical violence threat. I assume they're an AI, but let's be serious here, Bubbles could very well crush them into their molecular components.

Not if they're Grey Goo. The nanobots would just melt around her fists. She knows who they are and she knows full well she can't do anything. Her threat was empty, but she wanted to show displeasure.
Everything points to a nanobot swarm.

She's probably better adjusted then just about all of the main cast members.
You just can't handle her weirdness.

They've been in hiding because people would freak out and probably blow an EMP, since they are literally (in this form at least) a walking end-of-the-world scenario - but they aren't motivated to wipe out the world, by whatever lucky happenstance.
I signed up for these forums because you all are terrible at theory crafting.

Er.. a hivemind that clueful, one of the first things they do is to port onto EMP resistant hardware/wetware. Good idea anyway to have lithophile backups as well in case of gamma ray bursters, to reboot life in a reasonable time, millions not billions of years. Go Arrhenious ( see Arrhenius) too.
See Brin's Existence. Or Vinge's Fire on the Deep for a Rocco Basilisk.
I feel that talking about organised crime or even world wars when dealing with such entities is at best like toddlers discussing how to unwrap a chocolate bar during a meeting of nuclear physicists, and worrying that one might snatch their rattle away.
