Thought back of one my favourite childhood games, Shadow of Memories, and as all 0.001 of you know, it is revealed in the chapter 8 sequence to unlock ending B that * noise of car driving by because I don't know how to avoid spoilers * was brought back from the dead and she lamented that being brought back from the dead was painful, horrible and causing eternal restlessness. I tend to think that although Tex is an AI, she feels in a similar way – after all she's an anomaly even in a let's-split-this-dude's-brain scenario. This really goes well with Epsilon Tex reminding as often as she can that she didn't ask to be back.

Now, yes, this is obvious, but I just would like to point out a thing because I love laughing at Church's misfortunes – he's just so adorable when he's in unbearable pain, what can I tell ya: when confronted with her anger from being brought back again, he says 'being alive is typically better than being dead' and while the delivery suggest it's just Church being annoyed and annoying and we should dismiss it as something silly, it's actually a good point. Because while Caboose fucked up his memories about what Alpha is, this particular Church is the Epsilon form who has memories about the original Allison that Caboose can only fuck up so much because it's all stuff prior to Blood Gulch and even Project Freelancer, things that cannot be reached, so Caboose's perception of Tex being mean only impacts it in a minor way. Then why is Epsilon Tex meaner, you're gonna ask? Being alive IS typically better than being dead.
