1) I think that Gideon was 'chipped' before Jaha had even reached the mansion. In terms of how the word about COL spread, if Gideon was chipped, he probably told others about the COL as well. I don't necessarily think that Jaha was the first person in the COL, considering how big the city is and how tiny the population was back at Wanheda (part 2) we just never saw them on screen like we did in Nevermore.

2) She DID communicate using the drones. If you remember back in Wanheda, Emori stated that she took all of Murphy's gear in the dead zone because the 'woman' (ALIE) would come to them in drones and offer them supplies in exchange for any tech. In terms of her finding Jaha specifically, I don't think she wanted to seek him out intentionally, rather that he fell on her doorstep.

3)Emori and Otad had never met ALIE. They would give the tech to Gideon, who in terms gave it to ALIE to scan for ALIE 2.0. I don't think the nuclear source was the only thing powering ALIE. I believe ALIE and the COL was powered using the solar energy but that restricted her to the mansion. When she found the nuke, it allowed her to become mobile and thereforth, the COL and ALIE was then powered by the nuclear energy.

4) She is an AI, I don't think she would risk all these mountain men following her drone back to where her system is kept because she needed a missile. Like I said, it was just lucky circumstances that Jaha came down in a missle as if you remember, he landed in the Dead Zone, which is quite close to where ALIE is. It would have been a lot easier for her to salvage that, then risk undue attention.

5) I agree that people will die in the COL. I believe she will detach the mental element from their physical elements therefore killing them but still retaining their digital copies in the COL. Guess we will see in the finale.
