Also note that Alice knows what he is (presumably who he is as well) while Sedna doesn't. To me that suggests individual recognition.

Holy crap BenRG! I haven't seen that Model in years!! I used to have it myself but can't remember what happened to it.
I think Alice either knows him personally or has run into his 'Type' before.

--- Quote from: Wildroses on 11 Sep 2016, 06:50 ---Well, now I know how frightened Alice is. I await the next comic to see if Alice knows the guy personally. I'm inclined to think yes. If she didn't know him, I don't see a good reason as to why she'd be frightened of another person on her level, instead of saying: "Oh hi, how are you? I don't think we've met before, which strikes me as strange considering how alike we are." Unless the conflict from the two opposing factions of humanity was so terrible she assumes everyone on her level she doesn't know was on the opposite side and must be feared on principle.

I really don't believe Alice and Sedna are going to meet anyone on Earth who was from the AI faction -- they've been Blinked away. But she might know that "those big guys with the funny eyes" in general were bad news to her bunch, or were specially bred to be.
Or she might recognize that guy.

There's also the possibility that Alice *was* the opposite side and it was everyone against her.

The problem is determining what side Alice was on in the war and what side was left behind on Earth and which one was established in orbit. I'm not entirely certain, but space dwellers seem like the ones that favored biological enhancement and still live the way this faction lived albeit peacefully. As for those that favored artificial intelligence they may be the Earth dwellers and as such appear to be the faction that got the short end of the stick since there are no AIs roaming the Earth and all of the technological developments over the centuries were set back. Of course it could be just the opposite if the space dwellers are indeed the descendants of the AI faction and the Praeses are the closest relative to the original AIs. And the Earth dwellers are the biological faction and even though they lack the means of further genetic developments these so-called baseline humans are the descendants of the ones that were genetically enhanced thousands of years ago and are still far more evolved than a human from today's time.

Strip is up!
Somehow I think this is the least sinister way of Mr. Pate to explain who he is and what his goals are.
And Ardent still has a one track mind.
