I hope not.  It's not like Alice has enough to feel guilty about.

It depends; if Alice has to step in to save Sedna and the two of them fight with the Terminator/Whatever who is acting as Pate's muscle, we might as a consequence learn more about them and their origins. Especially if Sedna is seriously injured and Alice needs to explain things to Ardent and Gavia so they can help her heal/repair her.

* Alice and Sedna have worked as a team before and know each others strengths inside out.
* In particular that Sedna has a Stealth +8 boon (or whatever it is called in roguelike games) that makes her a perfect choice. Even though she would probably also be better adept in preparing the Struthis for the journey as well.
* May be Alice thinks that the Big Guy knows about her and the threat she poses, but is ignorant about Sedna?Observe that Sedna does not question Alice's plan at all. This is a military operation for both of them - one leads and the other follows (orders).

Good points, but I think Alice is more knowledgeable of Ardent's ability and knows what to do next.  If it were Alice to have an unfortunate encounter with the big guy then Sedna could still get away with Ardent and Gavia, but if the Praeses have more plans it might not matter if she can't outwit them.

That would provide some good exposition, but we've already had a situation where a character was knocked out for weeks.  It would seem redundant if they're carting Sedna around for 3 weeks while she recuperates.

It's killing me having to wait a week in between updates on this story arc!

Gyrre:
Hmmm... I wonder if Pate's glasses are depicted as such to vsually represent that he's blinded by his own ambition?

His body guard also has a thing going on with his eyes. Possibly heterochromia, or perhaps he's blind in one eye (or used to be). Either way, more potential symbolism.

Pate's glasses remind me of Dale's



Although they don't have the same glow
