Alice Grove MCDLT - January 2017
pwhodges:
It wasn't making complete sense, until I realised I've spent the afternoon reading manga so was taking the panels from right to left by mistake!
If Pate just wants to bombard the Praeces in orbit, then the children might not be too happy about the effect on their friends and family (assuming such social structures still exist).
BenRG:
Sedna as a space pilot confirmed?
Pate, old son, I hate to break this to you but Sedna was coming down to see her old bird again anyway.
What I'm worried about is that the Valkyrie is clearly a combat spacecraft. The temptation it's going to put in Pate's way to attack one of the orbital habitats or one of his foes on the planet will be enormous.
TinPenguin:
Alice Grove takes place on our Earth, confirmed.
Absurd romanticisation of 1940s Britain still happening in the future, confirmed.
jwhouk:
But, using the name "Valkyrie" indicates that they were referencing it from the other side.

Well after everything I suppose Pate now thinks they are on first name basis.

He wants to talk to the Praeses, but he needs to get there and get his foot in the door. Normally Mr. Church could help him with that, but he might not be as effective in zero gravity so having a spaceship with weapons can compensate for that. Of course it might not be the same vehicle after Ardent upgrades it and since he could will it to be a civilian mode of transportation it might not have any weapons to threaten the Praeses into negotiating. It would also be a good way to turn the tables on Pate. After 5000 years it will definitely need to be upgraded so it can be restored to working order as well as accommodate 6 people. Since it was built for war most of the space is probably weapons payload.

Well for these 2 veterans yes, but Great Britain might as well be Atlantis as far as Ardent and Gavia are concerned.
