Jandowski is perhaps the least romantic example, simply feeling some of Alma's anguish about her situation and wanting to hug her and tell her it's all right. The men on the Harbinger team all see images of Alma, and all of them empathize with her on some level. This is probably why Alma singles out the men of the squad but by and large leaves Stokes alone. The rest of the Harbinger team still have psychic potential. Why else would Beckett refuse Alma's advances, such as they are? So she attempts to use a time tested method of generating romantic interest: the Love Triangle. Inadvertedly Beckett finds his way towards Alma, which is a bad idea on the grounds that she only gets more powerful the closer you are and she probably interpets this as returned interest. It isn't an accident that Alma shows up whenever there's a quiet moment: she's reminding Beckett that she's out there, she's available, ostensibly beautiful, and wants him. Once the "sexy" form is in place, she occasionally manifests images of herself to Beckett, sending him reminders that she still wants him.

She quite obviously presents herself to Beckett and changes his perception of her to something more pleasing, probably plucked from his own head and modified to her tastes.

When she wants something, she takes it when something makes her angry, she destroys it. However, because Alma has spent the majority of her life locked up in a tube underground she isn't socially adjusted or inhibited. And as the ghost of Harlan Wade is quick to point out: "She's a woman, and she doesn't even realize it." To Alma, Beckett's strong psychic signature is a desirable trait in a man. Why? It's a basic survival instinct: pick the strongest mate available. However, those men don't interest her the same way Beckett does. There are plenty of other men she runs into along the way, the most notable ones being the other members of Harbinger (Beckett's squad). Even at the end of F.E.A.R., although Alma can influence Fettel from a great distance away, she still has to physically see Harlan Wade before she grinds him into slushie cups.Īs soon as Beckett steps into Genevive's trap and "goes green" as a telepath, Alma detects him and starts homing in on him. She can differentiate between Pointman, Fettel, and the various Replicas, but normal people don't really register to her in a way she finds meaningful.
