--- Quote from: BenRG on 26 Nov 2016, 23:46 ---Yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling that some people know as much about the post-Blink state of affairs as Alice, maybe even more. Either Pate wants to reignite the war or he's tired of being big man in a little patch of the world and thinks that the Praeses can help him (willingly or otherwise) to ascend to the position of global or even system-wide power that he thinks he deserves
--- Quote from: brasca on 26 Nov 2016, 16:14 ---I'm actually surprised Pate would reveal his plan this quickly. Nice of him to cut to the chase. What remains to be seen is if he is underestimating the Praeses.

Why should he hesitate? He thinks he's winning and that he holds all of the cards. In his mind, it would be inefficient not to tell his new slave precisely what he needs of her. What reason does he have to prevaricate?

Well for the sake of storytelling villains tend to drag these things out.
And while I understand this is a tense situation Alice could be a little nicer to Gavia. She's not doing anything bratty or annoying and considering that she's never seen a dead body to say the least one mangled so badly and the guardian she thought was invincible neutralized she is justifiably terrified by all this.

Maybe you need to rethink just how tense this situation is.

If it were anyone else it would be hopeless, but this is Alice so there is a better than average chance. I can understand keeping her wits as well as those around her, but Gavia is deeply shaken by all this and not hysterical. Telling her to shut up seems needlessly mean.

To me it seems absolutely necessary. Alice's one remaining advantage is that Pate doesn't know all of her plans. When Gavia begins "...we can't let him" that's likely to be the beginning of Gavia blurting out information on their plans, and Alice really doesn't want to lose another advantage just then.
The fact that Pate seems well aware of their plans doesn't emerge for another few moments.
Kugai:
I think Pate is going to be in for a few surprises if and/or when he gets into Orbit
