Question is did Alice do this with the help of whoever was in the air or orbit or could she summon that kind of power with her warhammer and magic helmet?
sitnspin:
She suggested that she could turn rock into lava when threatening Sedna. It's unclear how much that was empty bluster.

The scene of the flashback makes me wonder about how Church got in his surrendering pose. Did they have a big fight beforehand?
White knight vs. black knight - scenario? I kind of think, Alice was part of a higher-ranked group of supersoldiers, whose task was to supervise and control the black, tank-like war-soldiers. The whole panel really does not occur to me as a post-fight showdown, it's more like a situation that Alice has to "take care" of Church as in "render this kind of soldiers inactive". She can't destroy him, so she puts him into molten rock, hoping there is no way for him to get out, ever.
Because she knows about his strength and durability, it's probably the only way to take him out for a longer period of time - she knows very well, that she can't beat him where they are right now. I think, she just wants to distract him and separate him from Pate.
derech:
We'd imagine they've all degraded, but how much and is any reversible or recoverable. Can they retrieve any of what's not there now or improve it beyond however it is currently. Nanotech and Ardent and Praeses notwithstanding, or with external assistance.
For what our current information is, seems this flashback likely is helping establish that whatever he is, it's not particularly inventive in the sense of free-will perhaps, and seemingly not that or at all damageable. Which suggests that Pate did at some point recover Church (if not from whatever Alice just did in the flashback) and then determine his programming or linkage of control. And aside from large swatches Pate doesn't have any fine level of control over Church's actions. Like a guard dog, less human and more robotic, nearly (or actually) indestructible. "Our level bad news" sort of thing, but not much or anything there to reason with logically. Unstoppable sociopathic killer machine.
I was kind of wondering exactly how planned out any of this current violence was when it started. If it's all off the cuff ill thought out that's another scenario than if it's happening now for a reason with an imagined goal. The second seems more the case now.
If Church is hyper-violent and unable to be reasoned with, indestructible and unstoppable. Then that suggests there is a plan, that now is the time for, which seems then to somehow launch him far off into space permanent-like.
Zebediah:
Turns out I called this back in September when Church first appeared:
--- Quote from: Zebediah on 02 Sep 2016, 13:01 ---Yeah, I'd say that's a look of recognition on Alice's face. Rather disturbed recognition, at that. She knows him, and is really surprised to see him.
My interpretation: "Hey, didn't I kill you the last time we met?"
