Tova:
I'm running with theory that her olfactory sensors can detect anything humans and other AIs can, and quite possibly a few things on top of that, because why the heck would it not?

Cost. The more sensitive the olfactory sensors, the more expensive they'll be. If the police department pays for olfactory upgrades, they can probably get a decent discount for quantity, but if Roko had to pay for it herself on a cop's salary...
Besides, the evidence suggests that her olfactory sensors are not as refined as Bubbles's, given the somewhat cruder image she saw. :wink:
oeoek:
2 for 2 Hanners wicked tea!
As for her behaviour; we know Hanners is devoted to her friends, and I expect she is not up to date on the latest developments. Once Bubbles and Faye fill her in, I expect she will welcome officer Basilisk with her usual chipperness.
And I agree, Officer B seems to lead a pretty lonely life as shown by present strips, her colleague interaction and her home life. Time to adopt another one for our gang...
BenRG:
Well, we know where Roko's personal kink lies!
This seems to be a running theme with Jeph's AI characters; even though they're robotic and you would expect them to be asexual, quite a few of them have shown something akin to sexual desire, often directed towards humans but also having as many bizarre-seeming sub-variants as humans.
Of course, one now wonders if Roko has anthro-porn pictures on the inside of her locker door or something! :wink:

All she's probably heard about Roko comes from Faye and Bubbles, so its probably a one-sided picture, but still Hanners could have given Roko the benefit of the doubt, especially considering she's just let her friends slide on several crimes.

Hannelore isn't stupid. She knows just how much of a can of worms Spookybot has opened by intervening in Bubbles' life and she knows that there are some who would be very, very interested in making Faye and Bubbles' life difficult, either to smoke out their 'sponsor' or to see if there is anything inherently different about them. She's being defensive on behalf of her friends.
It doesn't help that Roko is bad at small talk and made an idle inquiry sound like a flat-footed attempt to gather gossip on suspects!
neurocase:
I might be off base here, but I very much get the feeling that anyone in this thread who is disappointed in Hanners and her treatment of Roko, or thinks it's a bit much for her to shut down the way she did, has never dealt with pushy and/or unnecessarily nosy and/or rougher cops before. Cops in general, really.
