Alice Grove MCDLT - April 2017
Kugai:
Battle Language
An while that character LOOKS like Church, whose to say it is?
An is that Alice at all?!
pwhodges:
I reckon Alice is using the same language as Dora has done in the past.

Perhaps, but they look so similar I'd be surprised if it was anyone else. Besides, Church hit her so hard I imagine her life is flashing before her eyes at this point. This could take awhile folks.

I'll offer my own interpretation of today's ambiguous comic.
1. It's definitely Alice and Church. Their present-day personas may not have existed 5K years ago, but these are the same two battle-beings. (Anything else is narratively incoherent.)
2. At a guess, proto-Alice and proto-Church squared off more than once before the Blink. In fact, their conflict may have created much of Earth's devastation. Alice thought he was gone till he showed up backing Pate. She didn't know his name, because back when they fought, he didn't have one.
3. In frame 1, Alice calls down whatever strike neutralized Church. (From whom? Her own side? the Blinkmongerers? The proto-Praeses? No way to tell. It looks not unlike the bolt that happened when the Nightwalker zapped away Gavia's nanotech.)
4. In the penultimate frame, Church is sinking in lava. He probably continued sinking.
5. In the final frame, we're getting a slightly surreal viewpoint, as if the lava were transparent (transparent lava should be familiar to players of the Marathon series games). Church is looking up through the lava at Alice standing over him, watching him sink.
6. Church continued to sink in the lava for some while. Eventually it solidified, trapping Church for thousands of years. In the fullness of time, Pate unearthed Church, who is now mute. Church feels a debt of obligation to Pate, who saved him from an eternity trapped in rock.
