Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDLT - October 2016
Is it cold in here?:
Ellie can swing a pipe hard enough to bend it around an obstacle. She might not be baseline.
How much did she know about Loomis? If she thought he was at all close to baseline, then using that much force showed intent to kill. If she knew he was a whatever-Alice-is, why the surprise that her attack failed?
Noble but futile attack in another universe.
Welu:
That's an interesting reaction. I wonder if it's because getting attacked means he gets to attack back.

Perhaps Ellie is descended from a line of super soldiers who were not in the same league as Alice or Sedna, but stronger than the average human or maybe she struck him with a pipe that was made of softer metal than steel. Who knows what's been dug up from people who lived possibly a century after our time. It would be more impressive if it wasn't for the fact that she's just picked a fight with someone that Alice fears. When she first sees Mr. Bad News looming over her she probably assumed he was hired muscle and thought she had a chance with the element of surprise. It could've worked if he was baseline or possibly the same vintage as Ellie, but he's not and I think that's why she's surprised.

Possibly. If Mr. Bad News is indeed taking orders from Pate then he was probably ordered not to harm Ardent and Gavia because of the information they have as well as Alice and Sedna within reason. I imagine Pate would love to hear what Sedna knows about the past and would order her taken down without killing her. Ellie, however, is an archaeophile of some importance, but not enough to get the same leniency unless Pate steps in and decides to be merciful. More than likely he'd use her death as an example for what happens to poor business partners.
KevxD:
It's interesting to contrast the expression of Mr Bad News in the final panel with the first panel. In the first panel he seems almost bored.
Zebediah:
In the first panel it's "just business". But now he's going to have some "fun", for certain very horrible values of fun.
