--- Quote from: dexeron on 11 Jul 2017, 15:54 ---Yeah, can't really mourn for Pate. Alice's actions (assuming she actually has killed him here) are more revenge than justice, but honestly, dude knew what Church could do, didn't bother to tell him to rein it in, and in fact seemed almost pleased when Ellie was killed. He could easily have said "Church, no violence. Let me lay out my case and we'll see if they're willing to cooperate." Instead, he made it a game, waited and let Church respond with maximum violence, likely as an example to force compliance. Dude's a monster.

It's a time honored (using the word loosely here) method by more sly autocrats, dictators, mob bosses, warlords, and such - make one spectacular example of one or two people and keep everyone else in line. No doubt Pate employed his goons to do the same thing before he ever acquired Church. It is (or was) one of Jesper's favorite tactics.
What was Pate before he assumed his role as mayor/king/regent/boss? I'm guessing a school teacher a la Benito Mussolini.

So Emily created the supersoldiers to defeat entropy. Everything after flowed from that.

Then Hanners created the Praeses to combat her!

It would explain his interest and knowledge of history.

Like...
Why was there a wind turbine at the beginning? I don't think I've seen a single electrical implement this entire comic.

Probably grinding grain. Technology that lead to the Blink might not be in use anymore, but the fundamentals would still be there, a windmill grinding grain would probably still be a necessity.

The water pump was powered before Ardent upgraded it. That was clearly an electric power windmills. A mechanical windmill is different. It's possible that they still use some sort of powered grinding wheel, but that's nothing like a Dutch windmill.

It's even easier than that. There is clearly stated electrical capability in the comic (solar panels.)
