When I first saw today's strip I was reminded of some of David Bowie's more androgynous incarnations.
Given the weird skin and eye color, I'm thinking this must be a robot with an extremely high-end chassis who thinks that human gender polarity is absurd and refuses to embrace it.

--- Quote from: Timemaster on 09 Jan 2017, 08:43 ---This is someone who represents something far more important or threatening to an AI than a vicious criminal like Corpse Witch or a petty officer like Rocco Basilisk. We don´t know enough about how Jeph ist imagining the whole AI stuff to jump to any conclusions. But I´m imagining some kind of Authority (notice the capital letter) which has power over AI´s and of which they have reason to respect it and even be afraid of.

This is basically what I was thinking when I speculated that the Agent works for ECR as part of a supara-legal special 'damage control' team that handles runaway, renegade or criminal AIs in a way that minimises the company's legal exposure and public embarrassment.

--- Quote from: Timemaster on 09 Jan 2017, 08:43 --- Bubs will have to make a decision right now! And Agent Peroxide seems very sure that she will...
--- End quote ---
Actually, from the brief sentence given, I get the impression that the decision has already been made for Bubbles. At best it's a 'Here's a one time offer. I can unlock your memories right here, right now if you help us do something. The offer ends when I walk out the door.'. Either that or the decision has already been made and this person is just here to inform Bubbles what is going to happen next.
Timemaster:
Woooh, I´m suddenly getting a Pulp Fiction vibe here. 8-)
What if Someone is really pissed off by this situation and has sent a cleaner to take care of it.
Now.
Once and for all.
The question: is Agent Peroxide Vincent Vega (John Travolta) or rather The Wolf (Harvey Keitel)? The suit would be appropriate for both of them.
I´d rather go for the latter. :-D

"What Stanley Bubbles heard astounded her! Did she not have free will? Did she not have choice in this matter? Unfortunately, as she considered the matter, Stanley Bubbles found herself wondering if all her supposedly 'free' choices had ultimately been illusory and whether instead she'd been trapped in someone else's story all the time!"
Bubbles, a word of advice: You need to go down the right hand corridor.
