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:

Going by the look on her face, I'd wager she just learned something new about herself.

Jeph is examining the nature and boundaries of human/AI attraction & relationships at an emotional level. (We already know that Pintsize is keen to transgress physical boundaries, but Pintsize never met a boundary he didn't want to transgress. And then there's May. She's been known to transgress for money.)

I wouldn't say Bubbles is interested in Faye like that; I would say that Bubbles wants human interaction, companionship, and friendship. Roko is probably in a special case, as most police only have close friendships with other officers (someone who can understand the pressures of the job), but her being an AI, she's cut off from that for not being human. In that fashion, I think she has a lot in common with Bubbles.
As far as Pintsize and May having their fetishes, we've only seen them act it out with each other, tho Pintsize hasn't lacked for trying, but he's too easy to lock in a closet if he gets too annoying.
I think Roko had the mental image she did because whatever scent analysis hardware and software she has, may not be as top-of-the-line as Bubble's, so any data would render itself slightly more crudely. Plus, Hannelore did suggest unicorns. (I wonder if that was the Raspberry Zinger!) ;)
I find it funny that Roko even sighs robotically. Not sure why an AI would need to sigh, unless the emotional program needs it for stress relief.
