Didn't you see what Azimuth did to him? Do you really think that what may be Ratchet's younger sister, a person that looked up to him, isn't angry that he just ditched one of the only opportunities he had to save the Lombaxes? And the part where she says that he lost the guts to find his race is just Vendra's interpretation on Ratchet, many video-game villains that are related to the main protagonist refer to them that way.
Well, that's very likely. Perhaps some other female Lombax survived, or found a way to return to Polaris. She learned everything, but didn't change original Alister's point of view. Even thought that gate bring "portals to Lombax dimension" stuff to my mind, it's still very similar to Great Clock architecture…
