Alice Grove MCDLT - December 2016
brasca:
Why would that be a horrible feeling? Pate's plans falling through seem like a good thing for most everyone involved.
BenRG:
Because when getting what he thought he wanted goes wrong for him, it's going to catch everyone else in the blast radius.
Tova:
Pate has gone to some trouble to procure Alice's help, so I can only assume either that Church cannot in fact get through that barrier without repercussions or at least some degree of risk to himself, or that Pate needs Alice's help with whatever he expects to find down there.
We'll find out soon enough.

I think Pate needs Ardent's help with whatever he finds down there. He needs Alice to be a good obedient little weapon is all.
There could be any number of reasons he chooses to have Alice go first, starting from the one he gives, down through "he wants Church fresher when the bunker busting is done" and "Alice is just better at it, is all", to "Church has some reason not to do it".
jheartney:
I'm guessing Ellie's gruesome death must be general knowledge by now, meaning the crowd of bystanders at the top of the pit must know that Pate/Church did it. Given that Ellie was running the dig, she must have been an important person in this community. Wouldn't at least some local folks be upset at her outright murder? Is Pate so certain that there's nobody with a rifle and sight up there? True, they couldn't get Church. But if Pate is baseline, then a bullet will take him out, and Church hasn't shown he's fast enough to stop one.
