Is Spookybot a zombie?
comicalArchitect:
In strip 3240, Bubbles raised the possibility of a non-conscious AI distributed across several processors. This being, she theorized, would be amoral and extremely powerful. Spookybot has been shown to have several bodies. If all those bodies are linked by one intelligence, then Spookybot would be exactly the being Bubbles described. They've certainly proven to be extremely powerful and mostly amoral, so was strip 3240 a setup for them?
Kugai:
Spookie's a Hive Mind
Not entirely benevolent, but definitely no Borg Collective.
shanejayell:
Hive mind, and disturbingly sexy, in a androginous way.
BenRG:
FWIW, I suspect that the Spookybot chassis are partly pseudo-organic (vat-grown bio-mimetic parts) and part-synthetic (the control system is almost certainly electronic or optronic). It's strongly implied that they are being mass produced, either as attrition replacements or so that the actual AI (whatever or whoever it is) can use as many as it needs whenever it needs to do so.

What's the difference? I thought the Borg were a hive mind. They even have a queen, like all good hive dwellers.
