Before there was Q there was Trelane, and before Trelane there was this fellow.

There is no door. Bend your mind.

I'm thinking about the deal between Roko and Melon here. Melon is annoying, clearly does not have even a hypothetical understanding of appropriate behaviour and regularly breaks into other people's apartments. Why would Roko tolerate her presence? The key is the fact that Roko wants to help people. It isn't that she pities Melon, it's that she recognises that there is a lack in the other synthetic's life - Someone who will treat her normally and with respect - and is trying to fill it.
It's obvious that Melon genuinely loves Roko too. That really helps smooth over the inevitable rough spots.

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).

Now I've thought about it, I'm not convinced that SpookyBot was interested in Bubbles at all. Oh, they were genuine enough in their efforts but, when you consider that taking down Corpse Witch's organisation was Roko's assignment at the time and freeing Bubbles created the circumstances where a very, very minimal intervention could do so, I'm wondering if it wasn't all for Roko's benefit and just had a coincidental positive impact on Bubbles.
Yes, SpookyBot is interested in Roko for some reason. Maybe it is in the form of Q's interest in Captain Picard ('My favourite chew-toy') but Q had his larger agenda and I'm wondering what SpookyBot's might be. Just in what way is Roko the spot where SpookyBot needs to set their lever to move the world?

--- End quote ---
When they wanted to. With a personality like SpookyBot, there is no other reason necessary.

Welcome, new person who asked the exact question that was on my mind!

Thanks. I actually wanted to comment last week about how Roko could use some kind of ritual to get her sense of integration back. Faye and Bubbles could do some kind of "this is your foot/this is your shin/etc." chant because, after all, it's all psychological. The Adeptus Mechanicus has to get started somewhere, after all.
Anyway, i think it's been fixed. Looking at it again, Roko appears to have been resized to be larger than what i remember, putting her a couple feet closer to the camera from her previous position next to (leaning against?) the door.
