Kugai:
I want rocks to fall on this bastard

--- Quote from: BenRG on 03 Dec 2016, 10:08 ---One thing that was interesting was the threat that Pate chose to make. Did he suspect that Alice would rather die than help him, so a threat against one of her charges was the only way to intimidate her? Or is it possible that, unlike Sedna, Alice really is practically indestructible, even for a being of Mr Church's abilities?

This is an easy one to answer. He needs Alice's help to crack the bunker open, so any threat to incapacitate her in some way would obviously be an idle one. So he threatened to hurt Gavia instead.
It's also obvious why he didn't threaten to kill Gavia. Once she is dead, that leverage is gone. After breaking her arms, however, he can threaten to break her legs next.
Is it cold in here?:

Rocks are interesting.
How accurately can Alice throw?
We can be confident about her throwing far and fast.
Could Mr. Church prevent a supersonic rock from going through some vital area on Pate? It's a harder problem than body-blocking Alice.
He could follow Alice around 24/7 and never take his eyes off her. But Pate has to sleep sometime, and Gavia could hit him in the head with a hand-held rock if his bodyguard is away watching Alice.
Tova:
Don't forget that Mr. Church also appears to have an unnerving omnicience.
He probably doesn't need to watch either of them. Or, to put it different, he can probably keep an eye on both of them. Maybe that's the significant of the differently coloured eyes.
pwhodges:
Even Church must have limitations, otherwise there would be no story to tell.
