Did he, though? I was under the impression that he didn't recognize her until she was armored up.

Could be Sedna, Gavia, Pate, or even Ardent, presuming that's Gavia's force bubble that's covering them. I suppose it could be whatever or whoever serves the Orbitals as a police force arriving, too. Since they appear to have breached the Praeses' trunk or whatever, someone from Damage Control is bound to be arriving presently.

Is it the trunk, or one of the "leaves?" They were floating in the general direction of a leaf right before this.
My impression is that the habitats are separate from the Praeses; the habitats were all the new stars floating in the sky post-Blink. Also, are the Praeses sentient? Pate wants to "have words" with them, but doing so may not be much more productive than someone berating Siri; it's possible to do it, and you'd even get responses, but don't expect Siri to be upset by it.
My vote is the one shouting "Stop!" is Pate. Perhaps under threat from Sedna (as someone suggested), or on his own as he'd rather not lose Alice right away.
One thing not clean to me is why Church had to pursue Alice and bust past the green swirly stuff. In the previous comic, he already had her inches away in the final panel. She broke away? Assuming that is the story, shouldn't we have seen it? For now it looks like a continuity error.
Method of Madness:
Look at his face. He's enjoying himself. I'd say it's less an error and more him prolonging things just a bit because he hasn't had this much fun in five thousand years.

That's not the error. The error is that in last week's comic, Church was already face to face with Alice (and presumably would have been holding her to prevent escape). In this week's comic, suddenly she has moved away from him, and he has to burst through some green stuff to get to her. How did that happen? What's the green stuff? Why (from a story point of view) bother with this temporary escape?
