That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
Toy makers design plastic baby's to wet themselves?!

The Operative new that Lenore was there. She was there when he was questioning Mister Universe and made a deal to contact Mal. He knew what she was. He had established that she was not important. Just a thing. When he came back later, the only reason that he was surprised, was because of the fact that Lenore says 'Mal' when she begins her little blurb.
"Mal. Guy killed me, Mal. He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?"
He would have breezed right past her if she hadn't said anything.
Yeah. I think you're absolutely right Yellowjacket, and it makes far more sense. But she would be a thing with a hard drive - it's curious how he'd just ignore her.

Why? The record of his and his troops' activities were recorded all over. There were feeds from every place that they killed someone that Mal knew. He admitted to Mal that he killed women and children over a live feed. He had a small fleet of fully armed Alliance vessels at his disposal. Not unmarked vessels, but vessels flying the Alliance emblem in full view. Wreckage of one of them was left at Haven where Shepherd shot it down. He killed several people in plain view of witnesses and recording devices across the Verse in an effort to hunt down River and brought armed and armored troops to the Companion House.
One hard drive in a love bot. Inconsequential by comparison.

Agreed, especially considering the sheer volume of information on the Cortex, the likely ability of the Alliance to cover up any Operative activity, the lack of credibility from an illegal lovebot and anyone that might own or operate one... He doesn't have much to worry about.

Add to this the fact that a non-person is difficult to try in court. He doesn't have a name, and after the events in Serenity, even the fish probably won't find the Operative.
Government spooks of that sort don't have public trials.

Well I'm considering it more within the context of that scene. Everything else is destoryed but a robot/lovebot - presumably one would think with the ability to collect data especially one belonging to a character like Mr Universe - is overlooked?...
...and clearly judging by the events that were to transpire later a major oversight on the part of the Operative.

As it turned out though... He did.

Then it was an oversight of the soldiers, for the order was given to "Destroy it all" as the Operative left the room. The soldiers themselves may have thought her too unimportant.
There is also the entire armada still parked in orbit. Once Serenity was captured, they had all the time in the world to do target practice on the home of the late Mister Universe.

Replicants in two concurrent threads.
Inara is not a robot for a very simple reason: No billionaire prince would pay to rent her services, or offer to marry her, they'd just buy their own.
Also, no show has the guts to do this.
ETA: Except LEXX, and probably some Animes.

Actually, I don't think he did have much to worry about from the Alliance, as I've never really seen that he thinks he's really going into hiding from the alliance, but rather going deep undercover to resist them. The other option is that he seems to almost imply that he might commit ritual suicide over what he was part of, as it would be within his characterization to punish himself for a failure of that magnitude.
