Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDLT - December 2016
HiFranc:
I suspect that the reason for using Alice is to scare the people who live there. People could rationalise that Sedna was injured because she was caught by surprise. However, if Alice shows that she's scared of the duo enough to cooperate then any resistance from them is futile.
Verteiron:
He may be making Alice do it for exactly the reason he stated: to see what she's capable of. Collecting immortals via blackmail/threats/whatever means he's using on Church may be his hobby, and Alice is simply his latest acquisition.
Tova:
Yes, you could well be right. I had forgotten when I previously posted that it is really Ardent's help that Pate is after.
Skewbrow:
Alice punching her way in may be just Jeph running with the joke. And probably also to show the locals who's the boss. It might also be an opportunity to size up Alice's abilities so that Mr Church has a better idea what he is up against this time (assuming Pate does not have perfect intelligence on Alice already).
May be Jeph will finally give Mr Church a line or two? Church and Alice tossing the pieces of concrete out of the pit will give them an opportunity for a little heart-to-heart chat? Naaah! More likely it will go like
Alice: "Why do you work for this guy?"
Church: <shrug>
I very much like Brasca's theory that Mr Church has worked for the Pate clan for as long as he cares to remember. May be even ever since the blink.
BenRG:
If Church were asked why he's working for Pate, I suspect that his response will be one word: 'Order'. Pate stands for a restoration of strong, intrusive and controlling government, something for which Church was made to protect. He may (if he is talkative) reproach Alice and Sedna for forgetting their 'directives' in this area.
