Holy shit Spookybot can APPARATE DOORS OPEN. :-o
They probably just want to borrow some sugar, I guess.

Bubbles there was at least the pretense of altruism vis-a-vis Corpse Witch, but they've visited Roko three times now, only once with any sort of immediate purpose (unless there's something about to happen here that I'm not seeing).
Maybe, and this is me going out on a limb, some kind of AI-related crisis is coming to the comic, something Spookybot foresees, and Bubbles and Roko will somehow be central to it.

At least Spookybot is at Roko's door. I knew they'd pop up, but figured it would be once Roko went to sleep mode.
I'm not entirely convinced Spookybot's interest in Bubbles and Roko is just them being whimsical. Perhaps Spookybot has been meddling in human and AI relations for some time and even went so far as to sabotage the mission where Bubbles' squad was killed. Maybe Spookybot disapproved of AI soldiers and wanted to discredit the program. Now maybe Spookybot's interest in Bubbles is motivated by guilt or possibly to cover their tracks. Spookybot was very interested in Bubbles' memories. Why? Maybe Bubbles remembered seeing Spookybot on the battlefield and they wanted to delete that memory to cover their tracks. Now once it became clear the memory was gone Spookybot could rest easily and perhaps that was the plot all along. I seriously doubt various government agencies accept that there is an AI with that much power and would love to neutralize them. Perhaps that was the purpose in Bubbles' memory loss. Maybe she volunteered to have that part of her memory removed so that Spookybot would eventually seek her out and try to get it back. As such Corpse Witch could've been in on it the entire time and was secretly her handler without Bubbles knowing it. I'm not entirely sure what their interest in Roko is. Maybe they're bored and just like interacting with fellow AIs from time to time or maybe they want to misdirect Roko as part of some elaborate plan.
It's all just speculation, but if I'm right Spookybot best watch their back because with all the repeat appearances sooner or later the men in black will figure out a pattern and spring whatever trap they have planned.

How did Spookybot get the door open with Roko standing right in front of it?

Turns out Roko's new chassis can phase through objects.

Pffft. Omnipotent. *snaps fingers*
