I'm guessing that at least she recognized him. Until we get more info it's all just wild mass guessing. Maybe Church was some sort of (infamous?) mercenary and Alice was sent to deal with him. Now that she realized just how hardy he is and how he won't be making the same mistake (possibly of underestimating Alice) twice, she'd rather have just left and not had to deal with him.

So I suppose the question is if this is actually Gavia doing this (in which case damn girl) or if there's someone else influencing her.

Damn, I was calling Sedna doing this, not Gavia.

[up]There's nothing Sedra could do or say that would stop him. I was expecting it to be an inhabitant of the colony.

Gavia has never exactly been a pacifist (see her first entrance), and she's seen the results of this bastard having his idea of fun with her friends, and just how horrible his boss is. This seems entirely in character, if you accept that she has a hard core that's been exposed by recent experiences.

Though it could as easily have been Sedna with her hands round said boss's throat.

Energy blade? lets be honest if you can create force fields, a blade is only really a question of fine tuning.

Clever, but it raises some ethical questions about free will.

I mean they're manufactured super-soldiers.

There are a ton of ethical questions before you get to the compulsions.

[up][up] They were given compulsions but maybe, considering the differences between Church and Alice, they have some leeway in what they serve.

The slave may sometimes be able to choose their master. But then, we all like to delude ourselves that we have control over our biological imperatives.

Whatever. This is quite an elegant explication of the differences betweem these three, I must say.
