one thing jesse.. register; if you're going to be this helpful then why not make it formal?
and i really think you're onto something about suou.. though technically, interfaces (IDSE's yuki et al) are more like tabula-rasa AI upon insertion. that is, their accumulated experiences endow them with personalities, largely unique in each scenario. with ryouko's case - assumed to have 'lived' longer than yuki's 3yrs - there is a predominant disdain of the human condition, in that her awareness of the higher planes of existence led her to see most human mentalities as illogical. there is also evidence of disgruntlement with her superiors, in that she believes further stimulation of the subject - suzumiya haruhi - is a must, which we know goes against the status quo put forth by yuki's backers. ultimately it somehow adds up to her becoming self-destructive; she must have had an inkling that yuki would stop at nothing to keep haruhi in the dark, even if it meant ryouko would have to be dealt with appropriately.
*character analysis of asakura ryouko taken from character album.. opinion only*
given that suou doesn't have much of a personality to begin with, simply because she hasn't enough time to 'mingle with the locals', so to speak. if at all, her mission would be the only motivation she has for sticking with tachibana's group. going into further speculation; given yuki's evolution into something more than an LHI, suou's insertion might be more than just surveillance for suzumiya haruhi. more like surveillance for kyon as well, in that he is the primary driving force in yuki's evolution, as well as many other things.
