Penquin47:
Even if her brain is fine, we just spent quite a bit of time reminding us that Roko has very high bodily integration, to the point where she becomes ill at the sight of damaged parts. Even if her core programming is perfectly fine, she's gonna be suffering a LOT.
Really, in some ways, it might be kinder if she were dead. She's almost certainly in for a tricky recovery.

Counterpoint: this is a comic in which one of the central characters watched her father commit suicide, and her watching that happen was actually depicted.
It can get dark.
Granted, it hasn't gotten that dark for over a decade, but still.

--- Quote from: brasca on 21 Dec 2018, 01:38 ---I doubt Roko is dead and if she had to sustain major damage this is the right place for emergency repairs, but I'm not sure what her insurance policy is like since she left the police force. She might get stuck with a substandard chassis like May. Maybe she had the AI equivalent of COBRA, but if she has something less like the Decepticons she'll probably get dumped out a space shuttle. If she's lucky Unicron will reformat her. Either that or Spookybot, but you know they'd lord that over her everyday.

Insurance doesn't get much less than COBRA. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out if their founder's name is something like Rexford G. "Rex" Lewis or Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV.

Whoever negligently left the bananaskins on the footpath better have good insurance, or this will not end well.
ZoeB:
But it could get a lot worse.
Former cop who ended an illegal robot fighting ring gets "accidentally" slain by one of the former fighters involved in it. The only witnesses are two individuals also up to their necks in involvement, and whose greymarket Chop Shop the victim walked out of moments before.
DAs are professionally suspicious, and there was definitely something unusual about the resolution of the original case.
