Maybe what you're thinking of is dissociative amnesia.
Of specific relevance to this discussion is the following extract (emphasis in italics is mine):
--- Quote ---In generalized amnesia, patients forget their identify and life history—eg, who they are, where they went, to whom they spoke, and what they did, said, thought, experienced, and felt. Some patients can no longer access well-learned skills and lose formerly known information about the world. Generalized dissociative amnesia is rare; it is more common among combat veterans, people who have been sexually assaulted, and people experiencing extreme stress or conflict. Onset is usually sudden.

That feels eerily familiar. I have a substantial amount of memory loss myself. Food for thought.

You don't have to read, Monsieur Chien Méchant. :-p

It gets worse, you know...
Bubbles waking up from CW meddling in her head was in an emotional state that could easily be tricked into long-ish term service to Corpse Witch.
I can't help thinking Corpse Witch would find an AI in that exact emotional state to be a wonderful resource; Something to be saved, something that might be used more than once. And CW has (or had) access to a complete shop for constructing fighting robot chassis.
So now I find myself wondering whether there's a copy of Bubbles' mind in that state, which CW might have intended to load into another body if Bubbles should ever be removed from her service.
Indeed, I find myself wondering whether Bubbles is even really the same AI who did the military service she partially remembers, or a copy.
Mostly I find myself wondering this because I'm imagining the mind-screw storyline in which Bubbles discovers and meets the original Bubbles whom she's a copy of, or the subsequent Bubbles who's a copy of her.
Is it cold in here?:
That makes total compelling sense. It would be SOP to make a backup before working on a computer.
Arrogant Architeuthis questioned Corpse Witch about the existence of backups and it would have been clearly in CW's self-interest to hand them over if they'd existed.
So, either Corpse Witch lied under torture or she failed to follow normal maintenance procedures. Either possibility is odd.
