Method of Madness:
Did anyone actually think Ardent was dead?
Neko_Ali:
I think she is capable of it. She was perfectly willing, even eager maybe to slowly beat Gavia to death before Ardent stopped her. Given that she's shown here that she's capable of immediately ending a fight that only leaves Gavia's nanobots were enough to stop Alice from splortching her in one punch. Or Alice was holding back so she could enjoy the killing. Or she never intended to kill Gavia. Just hurt her really, really badly. That seems the less likely option.
I am beginning to wonder if Ardent doesn't have some sort of pheremone type effect on people to make everyone like him. It seems everyone he encounters wants to be nice to him. The only person who breaks that mold, kind of, was when Miss Wheelright slapped him. And even then she seemed taken by him before his ah... indelicate suggestion offended her sensibilities. If that's true, and he is a kind of sleeper agent, that would be a fantastic tool. Everybody likes Ardent, nobody wants to hurt him so his hidden nanobots are free to do whatever...

Can you elaborate? I don't think I know any of those images.

Panel 1 looks like a mass burning of heretics or some mass-cremation or it could just be the fires of total war such as those that consumed large parts of London, Berlin, Hamburg, Coventry, Tokyo and dozens of other cities during WW2.
Panel 2 is a loose adaptation of an iconic photograph of a mass grave of Jews, Slavs and other 'subhumans' at a Nazi extermination camp at the end of WW2 in Europe.
Panel 3 is a bloody hand, the universal and seemingly instinctual symbolic visualisation of murder.
It is... disturbing at times just how terrifyingly efficient and enthusiastic the human race is when it turns its collective mind to the mass eradication of life.
Roborat:
Starting to get a strong Jones vibe (Gunnerkrigg Court) with her now.
