Alice Grove MCDLT - THE END...?
Method of Madness:
Wow. I...missed a lot in this past week or so. Just caught up on this thread. I wonder why Jeph is so ready for this to end.
Wildroses:
The only thing that disappointed me about this comic was we didn't get to see Pate's face as he realises he has lost all his power and leverage. I cannot wait for the next comic for this reason. Honestly he is so use to being in charge and powerful I can see him still acting like he has the upper hand and everyone should be afraid of him because he runs a little town back on earth.

The eight frames since Pate told Church he was "off his leash" represent only a few seconds in real time. Laridia hasn't had time to respond.
While Jesper may not be the most obnoxious autocrat around, it's a cinch that he has plenty of enemies back home, and his life isn't worth a plugged nickle if he returns without Church. If Elmer is dead or too damaged to be useful Pate will be begging Laridia for asylum, even if it means being discorporated and reduced to JESPER.EXE.
Is it cold in here?:

Everyone there was a witness to Ellie's death, if memory serves. Gavia was threatened with torture. Alice was enslaved.
Ignoring Pate is not on their agenda.
Sparing his life would require an out-of-character surge of spiritual enlightenment.
He's an imminent corpse unless someone saves him.

Church is so invulnerable that Alice originally had to bury him in lava to stop him, so Sedna just stabs him a couple times and he falls over? Then it hit me: just as only a diamond can cut a diamond, perhaps only a jagged bit of super-soldier can cut another super-soldier. That is some SERIOUS material they're constructed out of. If Alice had been willing to use a chunk of herself as a weapon, maybe she could have taken down Church earlier.
I too hope Sedna survives, but that's not the way to bet. Perhaps her sacrifice will impress the Praeses.
Pretty sure Church is toast after that brain strike through the eye, unless they keep their brains elsewhere.

That's why I fear the worst for Sedna. If this was a possibility then why not do it sooner? Sure the immortals have survived some seriously lethal damage, but perhaps losing a limb or piercing the brain is the Achilles Heel or silver bullet. That could be why Alice didn't do this during the last fight because if she failed she'd die and no one could hope to stop Church.
