Struck me that he was doing just fine with that (perhaps a little bit too fine) until he got reined in.

You don't think you'd find a bunch of mysterious space aliens turning up, settling themselves in orbit and abducting a sizable percentage of earth's population mildly suspicious?

Well, in that case I would say they have "Conquered", not so much are wanting to.
I am still a little perplexed by the core concept of Alice assuming that the Prases have an agenda (going way back in the comic.)
If they sent Ardent, why (at all) would they have sent him to her town. She has no capability of knowing what is going on even a few day's travel away. Although Sedna and her know each other they clearly had no ability to communicate, even in an emergency. Even if every settlement has a super-soldier care-taker, they obviously have no ability to coordinate on a planetary scale.
Unless there are lots of Ardent's on the planet (off camera) and Laridia (or the Prases she represents) is lying I don't see how they are anything except for being used here.

That little blue horndog will be hitting on Laridia as soon as he's not scared fecesless.

It's not the ability they lacked, it's the inclination. I don't doubt Sedna could whip together something a damn site more sophisticated than a spark gap transmitter and a crystal receiver, but the do have better wireless stuff than that. (I wonder if that red button is going to re-enter the story?)

That is a really good point. I just re-read everything and forgot about that button. Wonder if it works if she is in space?
