This thread is getting pretty long, and I don't know how to do your fancy snip thing, so I'll just assume yall know what I'm talking about :P
what we can gain from a conversation with Alice:
1. A better understanding of her motives.
This is key I think. we don't know what she even wants with Derrick. is she going for a committed consensual relationship? If so, how does she plan on achieving this? Even in general, we have so much less infor on her tahn any of the other kids, witch makes it hard for us to keep her alive.
2. Some level of control over her.
We can certainty leverage the info that we have. she doesn't want anybody to know, we can let other people know. We wouldn't actually tell Derick or anyone really, but she doesn't know that.
3. We might actually make her feel guilty.
We've seen that Daydream, given the amount of reflection time that she got, realized what she did is wrong. We might be able to do the same.
There are risks to doing this howhever. She might, as some of you have mentioned, throw a tantrum and go try and kill people. But than again, she might do that anyway. We already know that the way things are going, she'll end up in a lethal encounter with Lucia. (IIRC) Even if we trigger her now, we'll know about the danger, and have time to warn people as well as to dispatch reinforcements.
So yeah. I still something I think we should do. Some of it is personal opinion however, like how much we want to let "the outsiders" (Bob? us? The aliens? This is confusing) be their own character. I'm personally pretty far on the "as much as we can side" but I understand why others disagree.
