Tova:
Some of you are reading the final panel's sentence, "I'm not saying I want to destroy him, I just need to have that option available," very generously.
cybersmurf:
Personally, I think Roko is following her force of habit, looking for dirt. Also, dealing with bureaucracy, she'd like to have some kind of edge to get stuff moving rather sooner than waaaaaaaay later. Especially given it's about someone on parole, a case not many people may care about speed.
St.Clair:
New comic!
Someone on another forum supplied this relevant line:

Roko? Welcome to the human race. Every one of us has a whole raft of behaviours, our own justification for which make us sound like the worst kind of asshole when you say them out loud no matter how brilliant and witty it all sounded in our heads!
You know, I really love the Roko/Beepatrice dynamic. One one hand, you have the physically stunning and very capable Roko who has some behavioural and mental issues hiding 'under the hood'. On the other hand, you have the sweet and somewhat-nerdy Beepatrice who, despite her anxiety issues and generally weaker knowledge base has a more balanced view of the world and really is needed to keep Roko from going completely off the rails.

Sam Vimes always felt that a good copper had to be most suspicious of themselves and their own motives. To him, 'Who Watches the Watchman' was the man in the mirror and he was very good at all aspects of his job. 'The Policeman' was a distinct part of his psyche and, in Thud sent a demonic berserker running out of his head as fast as it could!
Wingy:
4120: <Snicker/>
During my bout of insomnia last night, it occurred to me that maybe May gets Roko's old body, suitably (and probably only somewhat) repaired. Not only do we get all the mis-identification fun, we also get Roko's continual existential crisis for free! :-\ :lol:
