And..what happened? Is Fred better, or working to a place where he is better? I am worried about your friend Fred.

Fred is doing a bit better these days, but still has problems. He and his wife are still separated because she didn't feel safe after a late night incident involving a PTSD response when he came out of a nightmare to the sound of her clicking a pen. I found out about *that* bit later, but that was the reason why he finally resolved to get rid of the gun. (Yes, he was sure. He was VERY sure he was ready to let it go.) He has relocated to the east coast for therapy at a VA center and I hear from him in email from time to time. They miss each other and they (and I) hope they will be back together one day.

Why does an AI need to stretch...?
Smug Bubbles is great though.

Humans stretch as a means of waking up their body, to help remove waste build-up in the muscles and to rejuvenate the ligaments and the mind. So presumably, a chassis does so for the same reason, removal of waste build-up in what passes for muscle and ligaments in their bodies and to alleviate stress build-up.
It could also be an instinctive response, to make an chassis and the AI inhabiting it to seem more human and to get out of the uncanny valley.
Although the former seems to be the more likely.

It may just be Jeph's drawing style, but you can see a line of shadow under where the legs and sleeves end, indicating a transition line where light is being blocked by a thicker material. If it was all her "skin," albeit two-toned, there would be no difference in thickness and thus no shadow. It's the same as the way he draws shadows on clothed characters. I could be wrong, though, as the lines on the hips would seem to indicate uncovered articulation points. I'll be curious as to whether the question is answered later.

I was guessing the lines to be hems in the fabric.
Is it cold in here?:
We've been thinking of Bubbles as an adult. How old is she, really?
The blushes could be childlike.
She hasn't had any relationship experience since leaving the service and we've not heard of any from before that.
She could be honestly confused about what her feelings are toward Faye.
Someone new to romantic relationships should start with someone easier than Faye.
