Alice Grove MCDLT - April 2016
mr.jacob:
I think the EM rifle quip is confirmation that Sedna was also alive before the blink
Is it cold in here?:
Is the Night Walker sentient? It's capable of goal-directed action but there was no idea of trying to talk to it, as Alice tried (once) when Gavia was setting off explosions.
Sedna did not activate any sort of armor. Wonder what that implies.
What happens if Ardent touches Sedna?
Is Alice some kind of idealist who believes in protecting the (arguably) innocent, or is there a strategic reason for saving Gavia?

I think she's just grown fond of the kids, ever since her flashback when she tried to kill Ardent she's felt maternal to them
hedgie:
And what parent *hasn't* thought of it with regard to their own offspring?

She was a weapon once; a perfect weapon - merciless, amoral and ultra-efficient at killing. I think that she realised a long time ago that she despises that creature and has been trying to be a better person. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an element of seeking redemption about it. Every life she saves and every threat to the helpless she stops, then she's wiped another red mark off of the ledger of her conscience.
Finally... I suspect that she and Gavia are developing a bond analogous to that between siblings. Gavia is the bratty little sister to whom Alice is trying to be a good example of how to use your great power with great responsibility. Alice is the accomplished and poised adult exemplar whom Gavia (at least on a certain subconscious level) has been increasingly trying to emulate. Yes, I am suggesting that Gavia may end up the Robin to Alice's Batman.
Oh and Alice being able to fly confirmed, IMO at least.
Also, to re-emphasise, I'm thinking that this volume will end with Alice tearing Gavia from the Night Walker's grasp before being hit by a huge electrostatic blast and blacking out. We'll then have a few weeks of tension trying to predict how badly she and Gavia have been hurt. Personally, I'd like for Gavia to lose all of her powers, at least for an extended period. Her learning to live as a baseline human might make for some nice character growth, especially if I'm right about how Alice views her.
