Alice Grove MCDLT - THE END...?
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
I was trying to fanwank this resolution into coherence in my head before I decided to fall back on Hodgson's Law. Then I re-entered the wank zone and figured if the current reality is also a sim, maybe whoever is pulling the strings wanted Church's cut and Sedna was a handy and humerus option to do the cutting. The fact that she got a very satisfying revenge leads me to fear a sadder turn in the next few days for the survivors.
Baseless pondering: I wonder if Ardent and Gavia are going to have to make a decision like at the end of Mass Effect 3 (and countless other things I'm sure, but I know Jeph is a giant ME fan) where they can direct the future of the simulations with their discontinuity.
derech:
Whatever else, and whatever else might occur, it could only be an assumption Pate isn't needed for anything or that he doesn't have something up his sleeve.
As far as that and more goes, Gavia has probably lost power and anger, Ardent is not too proactive or emotional to begin with. Either way, seems Gavia and Ardent might kind of be out of commission while trying to think themselves out of the corner of the box. Alice is rather not feeling well. Sedna is if not dead is very used up for at least a long while, and it would appear Church has been firmly dispatched. Laridia isn't really involved in this directly, and is a sort of ad hoc temporary interface system anyway. The only one who is still largely untouched is the only actual human (probably maybe) but what can Pate do but be scared of his ex-hostages. Maybe nothing else. Or perhaps he thinks he can still get his answers without forcing others to do things and they'll do nothing to him.
What will Alice perhaps do to Pate, then. Or will she just wait for Laridia (Ardent, Gavia) to do something or say something, or go to check on or help Sedna, or to make sure about Church. Either way, Pate seems no rush if he's no harm or just some revenge target. Alice might only think of him as a joke who at one point happened to have a Church. Or might think that he threatened her and hers, and now must be removed. Sure, it's not impossible that Ardent or Gavia will do something, or even Pate to them, or that something involving Laridia or the trees might happen, Pate involved or not.

Please tell me that was a brilliant pun on 'humorous". Please tell me that...

Remembering back to Alice and Sedna's fight Ardent remarked that she was fast, but Gavia countered that Alice was faster. And seeing as how Church stopped her from ramming her hand through the back of Pate's head it would seem that he is as fast as he is strong.

If the existential crisis wasn't bad enough this could really cause her to snap. She was shaken at the sight of Ellie's corpse and that was someone she just met and didn't care for much. At the very least I got a mentor vibe between Gavia and Sedna. Like X-Men First Class she'll have Pate exactly where Magneto had Sebastian Shaw and anything Ardent says will be ignored like Xavier's.
Verteiron:
The best part about this is that it probably all happened in bullet-time, so from the point of view of everyone else (other than Alice, maybe), two people just instantly exploded in fountains of blood and collapsed. It's gonna look like a Shrike attack.
