Speaking a role player not a writer, one of the greatest sins as a reference is having a npc solve the problem without the players seeking them out.
miados:
I like this robot that is in corpse witches mind. I like they they are straight forward and hope to see them again. I dont understand why people keep saying things like creepy though.

This is a story though, not an RPG. There are no 'npcs' in a story. Just characters of greater and lesser significance. But each character is 'main character' of their own story. Creepybot heard about a great injustice done to Bubbles, showed up and offered them a way to fix the problem. The cure was only partially effective though. Bubbles was freed from Corpse Witch's control, but does not have her memories. Then they slipped back into the shadows where they dwell to see what would happen next. Bubbles confronts CW, but walks away and lets CW attempt to flee justice. So our hero, the Great Grey Collective, steps in again to see justice (as they see it) done, rather than let CW slip away to possibly repeat this sort of memory hostage situation someplace else.
Also as a literary way, Bubbles gets to have her moral victory with 'I could destroy you, but I'm better than that, better than you.' And Corpse Witch still gets to be punished for her crimes.

--- 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?

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.

I'm guessing that her fate will remain ambiguous unless there is a vital plot reason to specify it. Bubbles will visit the skate park in a few strips' time to be told that 'the Boss' had vanished and that no-one had seen her since the night Bubbles had stormed out.
If her fate is revealed, I'd still like it vague but with a huge dose of Nightmare Fuel. Maybe her chassis with its head open and the AI drive missing will be found leant against a wall somewhere just outside of town. All indications are that she walked there of her own free will opened her own head and pulled out her own drive. There will be some indication that a VTOL of some sort had been in the area but the ATC radar records will show nothing present during the night in question.

"BAD BOT BOUGHT THE BIG ONE"
or
"CAN AI COMMIT SUICIDE?"
Nothing really specific, just attention grabbing/clickbait-y.
JRDelirio:
Weeeelp... was nice knowing you, Corpse Witch.
And may I say some folk seem a bit... delighted... in imagining what might await our imminent recipient of very, very bad news.
--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 07 Feb 2017, 15:35 ---True, but she does know that Bubbles both knows that the memories are gone and disabled the virus. There's no way Bubbles would be able to do that without very powerful assistance. So sure, she doesn't know what that assistance is, but she probably also doesn't want to find out.

Right, and Bubbles does not say that CW knows those specific entities are after her, just that with those entities after her she will have no time to try and go after her and Faye. She even said she expects the Gray to see that CW does not go unpunished. (so it seems that yes, Bubbles has "read up" on what's going on behind the curtain in the AI ecosystem and has a respectably fair idea of what may be up, which Gray recognized; CW OTOH may need some picture-drawing to get to the "f**k... it's... they really exist..." realization.)
