Alice Grove MCDLT - July 2016
TinPenguin:
Add to that, that up until the 1800s, most people worldwide (yes, even in Europe) were still living in 'primitive' isolated communities, speaking local dialects, interacting little with the outside world. Change is inescapable, but the basic tools remain functionally the same. Technological change came from outside, via trade routes and societal superstructures (which don't seem to exist in AG). The people of the village probably wouldn't have built the water pump or the wind turbine without Alice.

Strip is up!
And for anyone who thinks Alice just threatens people to get what she wants here's proof that she can strike a good bargain.
We don't know just yet what the plan is, but more than likely Ardent will upgrade whatever rocket they find and Alice will pilot it.
BenRG:
Frankly, if someone like Alice promised me gold, I'd scratch it when I got it. I'm not saying that she'll cheat Ellie; she'll just give her a list of storage dumps where there is less likely to be easy-to-use and military-applicable stuff. She'll protect Ellie and her people; it's her nature. She'll protect them from themselves if she has to.
Stoutfellow:
This does seem to put the kibosh on the idea that Ellie's another immortal.

Keep in mind only Ardent has the ability to upgrade whatever he has into a state of the art weapon of mass destruction. Once he and everyone else leave it doesn't matter if Ellie and her crew find a stealth bomber. They wouldn't have the fuel to get it to fly as well as replacement parts for everything else that decayed after 5000 years.
