Frankly, that goes for all of them. May is especially vulnerable given she's on parole (does Basilisk know that, BTW?). But both Faye and Bubbles are part of the criminal conspiracy (i.e. a gambling ring).
However, if we take Basilisk's word that she's not interested in prosecuting a barely-criminal enterprise, they could all get immunity in exchange for testifying against CW.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be the last letter of the word 'but'. Compare that character to the bolded t's in the last panel.
...Is it weird that I find Spookybot incredibly attractive?
--- End quote ---
while not attracted to spoopy butt i do feel a certain pull from them. I really want to get to know them and learn about them and see what they do. I want to be able to sit and have a conversation with this character and honestly might enjoy a comic with just them. not a super long term one based on what little is known but maybe like a 20 page comic.

Why would a super intelligent p-zombie care so much? Don't like sharing their ability? Or something different?
--- End quote ---
I would imagine that when you can transfer your consciousness from one frame to another, when your form can become so mutable, that something needs to remain constant. In this case, the core of an AI. But messing about and even accidentally destroying Bubbles' memories, CW crossed that line. Perhaps because it is a reminder that they are still beings of silicone and wires, whatever spark they might have is just an electrical spark.
Or it might be the AI equivalent of a lobotomy. Even humanity reviles the technique because it doesn't cure someone, it destroys them from the inside and leaves behind an empty shell.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 07 Feb 2017, 20:44 ---This is a torture scene and is the darkest QC has ever gotten, even including the attempted murder of Bubbles.
--- End quote ---
First, let me say that the smile on Creepybot's face as they torture CW -- with the promise that torture could become eternal torment -- is just horrifying. Notwithstanding the names we've assigned them, I think that I can guess Creepybot's name. I don't know what they're getting out of all of this, mind you, but I can guess their name.
Second, this arc is by far the most troubling arc in all of QC. Yes, there have been dark arcs: somebody downthread mentioned Faye's father's suicide, and the whole arc about Faye's alcohol overdose was grim, too. (And what is it about Faye, anyway? She gets all the great terrible arcs, and that just isn't fair!) But this arc has a genuinely evil character, CW, and a morally ambiguous, and, indeed, almost demonic, character, Creepybot.

You will know darkness
You will know fear
You will know eternal pain
