I know the comic link isn't perpetual, but it's better not to link directly to the image as that deprives Jeph of clicks on the site which contribute to his income. Just say it's up (there's a link at the top of the page, after all), please.

This raises the question about which faction made her. The use of genetic enhancements and biological material would lend itself towards the bio-tech faction. However, the clear possibility of synthetic components of some sort to increase her durability is an inconsistency. Is she the result of some attempt to find a 'third way'? Or (and this is much more likely) were the bio-tech faction more than willing to ignore their ideology's rejection of synthetic means when it came to building weapons?

Everyone, spacers and praesides and humans and Alices agree, that AI is not possible (any more), as the Blink eliminated it all. (Possible exception: the Eschaton that caused the Blink.) Hence Alice and Sedna are not AI. From that I'd assume that they have meat brains, and were developed by the bio-tech faction.

Except of course here, where she implies exactly that: http://www.alicegrove.com/post/105313777144/glowy-nanotech

No. Read this one again: http://www.alicegrove.com/post/121321270784/thats-it-for-chapter-2-taking-next-week-off
She was there, but unless she's editing the story a bit, she wasn't part of whatever caused the Blink. Whatever deleted all AIs and advanced tech did it regardless of where they were 'hidden'.
Either she's telling the truth, and she has no way of making or hiding advanced tech beyond herself, or she's allied with whatever caused the Blink, and is way more powerful than she lets on.
