Zebediah:
I did not see that coming.
It’s probably a good thing that the Secret Bakery isn’t hiring right now.

This just gave me a thought for an arc where we learn that a Witness Protection Program for AIs involves transferring to a different chassis.
Jeff could totally spin this into:
-Introduce a new AI character, who makes their way into the main social circle
-Nobody really knows it's CW
-Big evil CW reprise reveal!!!
-???
Maybe I'm just crazy but that would be a very dramatic twist :psyduck:

I can't see any universe where Corpse Witch would set foot near Bubbles or her friends ever again.

--- Quote from: Tova on 18 Sep 2018, 14:58 ---Given the long discussion we've been having about the way people like May are treated, this is a really interesting question. How does the way you think May should be treated compare with the way you think CW should be treated after release?

"By their fruits ye shall know them". I would treat post-release Corpse Witch with whatever treatment her actions earn.

The problem with that is Corpse Witch only went to prison for the offenses the criminal justice system could prosecute her under and we're not entirely sure what those were. She ran an illegal gambling establishment and had connections so there's some corruption offenses, but unless she had her servos in a lot of pies that's not terribly evil on paper. If anyone took a look at her rap sheet they might think she was just another Molly Bloom which she might claim since I think she's better at being charming than May. Of course we know better. We know that she lied to Bubbles about removing her memories and used that as leverage to keep her working for her as well as planting a fail safe virus in her brain that could terminate her if she ever tried to kill her, but could she or was she prosecuted for those offenses? I think Roko's feeling of defeat is that Corpse Witch went to jail for what amounts to violations of vice laws and not the truly evil things she did. Since most people don't know the whole story they'd be more likely to sympathize with Corpse Witch who was involved in a victimless crime as opposed to May who embezzled money that might've been yours. Personally I'd be more likely to hire Corpse Witch than May because the worst I'd have to worry about is her setting up craps games in the basement.
Hopefully, Roko knows what she's doing. I think she'd be wise to avoid social work since that can be just as demoralizing. I don't know if she should get into baking since I think she'd be too distracted.
Is it cold in here?:
Corpse Witch tried to trigger the malware when Bubbles confronted her.
That's attempted murder, carefully premeditated.
Eminence Grise would not have been satisfied with anything short of a full confession.
If Corpse Witch were a human in our MA, she'd be facing up to 10 years just for that.
