"A strange game. The only winning move is to not play. How about a nice game of chess?"

Strip is up!
And apparently I was partially correct about my genie theory.
BenRG:
Yeah, I figured that there might be some kind of 'find a commander and follow him' gene programming in the combat units. What's interesting is that Alice has been able to fool it by choosing to serve the whole world rather than a single commander.
In some ways, she's evolved in the same way R Daneel Olivaw wanted the AIs of the Caves of Steel/Empire/Foundation universe to evolve: She's no longer obeying or protecting a single person or faction. Rather, she's somehow implemented a 'Zeroth Law' in herself where all of humanity1 and its best interests as a whole are her cause.
P.S.:
Whilst it's possible Alice has lost an eye, it is also possible that she's already regenerating, which is almost frightening in its implications.

1. Not only does this give her the ability to destroy any individual faction or person she regards as a threat to the greater community of humanity, it probably means that there are some post-humans who lie outside of her 'protect and serve' criteria. Gavia and Ardent are probably hovering on the very edges of that.

I wouldn't worry about Alice's eye. It looks like Church's eyes match again.
