Alice Grove MCDLT - September 2016

BenRG:
We know from Pate's introductory strip that he has agents watching Alice. He's probably got agents watching lots of people. One wonders if she knows about him watching her or if he's got lots of surprises in store for our protagonists!

HiFranc:
I know I'm late but I have my own theories about the man who scared Alice.  First of all:

We know that Alice probably did things in the war that were not legal.  I suspect that she took part in massacres, etc.  We get the impression from Sedna that she's been trying to atone for that for the past 5000 years.  Also, in real life, soldiers often find a way to come together after the dust has settled.  I get the impression that Alice would try to get on with the former soldiers on the other side as that's likely to keep the peace.

From this I deduce that any negative assessment must strike to the core of his personality.  My theories are, therefore:


* Someone who likes killing.
* Someone who doesn't care about collateral damage.
* Someone who would prefer to work for dictators, shady characters, etc.
* Someone looking to restart the war.

Given that Alice probably doesn't introduce herself with a full autobiography, we might assume he already knew who she was, even if he hadn't actually met her.

yes. sure I can see it that way. Pate almost certainly knows more than he lets on, and Alice has a tendency to keep things close to the vest, but it's a little difficult given the (admirable) economy of dialog Jeph's using here for me to see it concretely either way given that Pate has almost surely had the advantage of a few hours of Ardent blabbermouthing while it got dark.

...and the eager anticipation of the next update continues...

I'm guessing it will go a little something like this. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=15bvpznQP5M
