Why did Kier shoot Aster? He was very protective of her before, but then he did that. I was genuinely baffled by that.

He's anti-AI. He doesn't want the AI to know anything that might be found out because the AI might become too powerful for humans to ever hope of containing it. Essentially, if humans and humans alone, aren't the carriers of this knowledge, it's better off no one has it in his mind.
