Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDT - November 2014
ReindeerFlotilla:
Maybe. But, whatever's going on, Alice has something to protect here.
One could jump to conclusions about her, but one then skips the questions: Why is the harmony so balanced? What is doing the balancing. Who is managing the what? Is it Alice? And, most interesting, is "Not supposed to possible" a throwaway line, or does Alice know of something that would prevent extra terrestrial sight seers
BenRG:
Called it: Ardy is a tourist (and, thus, a parody of every thoughtless thing that we do on holiday).
What is interesting is that "it isn't supposed to be possible". My guess is that someone is trying to build a perfect world and has psychotic robot defences in place to stop outsiders from getting in and 'infecting' the place. As for Alice? She's a caretaker. She keeps things working and in balance. Sometimes that involves removing things that disrupt the balance, so Ardent should watch his back!
Alternately, this is a simulation and Alice is an avatar of the system's maintenance algorithms.

Is that a The Culture reference? I've never liked those stories. The Culture was always too OP and too self-righteous for my tastes.
ReindeerFlotilla:
To me, the Culture is a modern take on the United Federation of Planets. Their attitude makes perfect sense for that perspective, and the way it clashes with things around it is fun to watch.
Alice's self-righteousness is certainly in keeping.
