Method of Madness:

Maybe. But then what? Maybe Pate doesn't control him, but he has some sense of purpose while Pate's alive, and that might be more than he's had in thousands of years, and more than he sees having post-Pate.

jheartney:
I know it's a convention of most sci-fi that everywhere has 1g gravity and a breathable atmosphere, but in point of fact all our heroes and villains are in orbit well above the Earth. So apparently the inside of wherever they are has gravity and life support (this despite the rather large hole Church made in it), or else Gavia has extended her bubble around all the proceedings, and her bubble has artificial gravity along with instantly generated atmosphere.

So far these vaunted praeses have yet to actually do anything in the story other than allowing the twins to make a trip to Earth. I hope they (the praeses) get off their wooden butts and do something soon, as the main characters seem to have arrived at an impasse. (Given Church's apparent lack of need for sleep, I bet on him winning any temporary standoff.)

BenRG:
What's Church's game? He's seen lots of little guys who dream of being something big. He figures that hanging around Pate and his ambitions will give him plenty of excuses to murder people. He sort of needs excuses; it's part of his genetic programming to only use lethal force in something approaching self defence or 'for the cause'.

jwhouk:
It may be that the supersoldiers were the reason for The Blink, because when one became damaged, they went out of control. So the Powers That Be shut everything down.

A lot of backstory that could be told by Jeph here - and if memory serves, Jeph's only scratched the surface of this story...

Exactly.

For all we know, Church could have developed the equivalent of brain damage and could have latched onto Pate as a commanding figure.
