--- Quote from: BenRG ---The only remaining hope of getting them now is Corpse Witch's own memory logs of the procedure.
I doubt that They will be particularly gentle in extracting them.

Now we find out whether the Squid Collective is sincere when they say they value sanctity of mind. Will they respect Corpse Witch's mental autonomy?

My guess:
They're not going to do anything to her mind, per se.
They're just going to lock her in, and leave her there.
Forever.

I think "there" is another "immersive virtual environment" like the one where Creepybot bid Bubbles goodbye. So it would be CW's consciousness locked in, not her chassis or her physical substrate. Someone (Jeremy?) would discover her chassis unresponsive, and by all appearances dead.
Which opens up some interesting lines of inquiry about the nature of AI consciousness, if it can exist apart from the physical core.

Its almost as if someone designed the AIbino to be terrifying on so many levels.

Nailed it.

Take me down to the Raccoon City, where the grass is green and the girls are ZOMBIES OH SHIT.

When I first heard the song Paradise City, I thought they were singing "Prairie Dog City". I got very confused.
--- End quote ---
Fun fact: One of Northampton's nicknames is "Paradise City". No idea where it came from, but it's all over the place - there's a Paradise Road on the Smith College campus that runs by Paradise Pond.
As for Corpse Witch - yeah, she's in deep, deep WD-40 now.

--- Quote from: jheartney on 06 Feb 2017, 22:23 ---I'd figured we were done with CW and Creepybot. My bad.
Will Jeph actually show CW's fate, or leave us to imagine what Creepybot will inflict on her?
--- End quote ---
I was guessing that her fate would be revealed in a newspaper headline in the background of the next comic, a comic which would start the next story arc.

Have we ever seen any of the QC characters read a newspaper?
My guess: Pintsize breaks the toaster. Marten brings home a new toaster that, unlike all the other toasters, really really hates being a toaster.
