Holden calls Monica to clear the air. That's when she gets Naomi's message. Holden immediately calls Drummer and says to shut downt he reactor.
ch 34 alex pg 353
Alex and the Prime Minister and his group of security groups are making their way to the Razorback. They get a wayz and they meet resistance. one of the resistors recognizes Alex and in chitchatting the belter calls Naomi a traitor and say they've got her locked up on the Pella. Bobbie shows up in her superhero suit and quickly turns the resistors into dust. They make their way to the Razorback and realize that Bobbie won't fit with her armor. So they rip out a crash couch and she's just gonna hang on. So she and Alex and the Prime Minister start making their way to the moon. But they've got missles coming after them, so we'll see how well this goes.
ch 35 naomi pg 363
She is in the medical 🚑 bay. She kicks the doctor in the nuts. They fight and the doctor is winning til somone else shows up and separates them. She gets a talking to about how she's better off not causing so much trouble. Marco wants her here, but he won't put up with this forever. Naomi coughs up a device that can trigger airlocks. Now if she can get a space suit she can kill some people.
ch 36 holden 372,
Holden talks to their hacker. They found the code that was gonna blow up the ship when it got up to a 95% charge from the reactor. This code could have been the cause of thousands of deaths everyone else thinks we're accidents. They get the ship on the way to the moon. It has not blown up yet. Fred and Holden have a long talk about all of this and their different options. Right now diplomacy seems to be the best one.
ch 37 alex 382
Bobbie asks Alex about his kid. Alex says he doesn't have one.
“You don’t? I thought you did.”
You and me both Bobbie.
The belters are shooting missiles at them. They have guns and Bobbie is using them to shoot the mistles so the.ship doesn't blow up.
Marco makes his official statement and i.like it a lot...
“I am Marco Inaros. I am commander of the Free Navy. And I call upon all free men and women of the Belt to rise up now in joy and glorious resolve. The Free Navy pledges you all the safety of our protection. This day is ours. Tomorrow is ours. The future of humanity is ours. Today, and forevermore, we are free.”
ch 38 amos 392
They make their way to Baltimore. They find Erich. They pitch the idea of stealing a space ship to get to the moon. Erich is not buying what they're selling. He's the king of the Baltimore underworld. He ain't going nowhere. Peaches talks about how she lost everything too and it took her a while to sink in. Also she tells a story about a lady in prison that killed her family but always spoke of them in the present 🎁 tense. That gets to Erich. He sons uncontrollably for about fifteen minutes and then there's a "you son of a bitch..." moment.
ch 39 naomi 402m
Naomi doesn't wanna die, but she doesn't wanna be here anymore and she knows that if she escapes Marco will never stop looking for her and he's got a navy now. So getting out of his clutches might be possible but staying out of his clutches is another thing all together.
So she's decided to fake a suicide so Filip and Marco thinks she's dead. She goes to talk to Filip, I don't remember the details but your mother's a whore. He's gonna feel bad 👎 when he thinks she's dead.
ch 40 amos 411
They make it to this island hideaway for rich people that peaches knows about. She used a code fro m back in the day and it works. Miracles happen every day. They find some people hangi mg out. There is some tension and Amos thinks we might have a lot of dead people. But then it turns out peaches knows these people. She makes nice and asks if there's a ship. There is. But then some security guys show up trying to assert their dominance. It doesn't go well for them. It's time to go before the security guys come back with more guys and guns. Problem, the ship is broken. I'm the bright 🌞 side, it's big enough that everyone can fit in it. Amos is gonna fix it up and take everyone to the moon. Why is he gonna do something so kind? “Seems like the sort of thing Holden’d do.”
ch 41 naomi 421
It's time for Naomi to make her daring escape. The plan was to get a suit and launch herself out an airlock but hide the paper trail
so Marco thinks she's dead. But she didn't really have the time to do all that. She ends up in an airlock with Cyn. He is begging her to stay and know that she is loved cause she's a belter and now more than ever belters need to love other belters. But she opens the airlock anyway and the two of them are launched into space.
but this is Naomi's plan and she ends up making it into the airlock of another ship. She years her own voice putting out a distress call to Holden. This looks like it was all a set up by Marco to lure out Holden. If that's true, I think I love him even more, the crazy genius bastard.
ch 42 holden 431
Fred and Holden do a lot of talking about Marco. He has always been smal! Time how is he pulling off this big time opperation. Fred is thinking someone better or smarter or bigger is pulling the strings. They find the ship Naomi is on and Holden is all in on getti mg that ship. Fred is.like "can we at least be careful?" And Holden gets all posts about it. I know it's a trap cause Marco is so baller, but Holden finds the idea 💡 that it might be offensive. But he settles down and agrees it might be a trap. He calls Alex to see 👀 if he can help.
ch 43 alex 441
Alex gets Holden's message and is similarly all in on trying to save Naomi. Bobbie reminds him they have the prime minister of Mars on the ship and have orders to get him safely to the moon. They have to do their duty to Mars and that's more important than Naomi. Also it's a trap so don't go fall into a trap. Alex makes the case that this is space and the basic rule that any ship that receives a distress call has a duty to respond to it. The Martian prime minister agrees. He also brings up the point that if they save Naomi, they will have a friendly witness to what Marco has been doing. Bobbie doesn't like it cause it's a trap and she doesn't want to die. But she's outvoted so they're going after Naomi. They return Holden's message to say they're going to check ✔ Naomi's ship out, but if anything is out of sorts, they're going to bail.
ch 44 naomi 448
Naomi is awake ⏰ and she's gonna try to get herself out of this situation.she's gonna get some tools and try to drop the core. This ship sucks. She cuts a wire and one of the thrusters stops making noise and she assumes that means it's stop functioning. she is able to verify that on the scopes that the ship.is now kinda spinning rather than going straight ahead. She's pulling out wires trying to get control of the ship. She is using vac suits that can only hold five minutes of air so all of this effort is being accomplished in five.minute increments. And her body isn't really working that well. She hears Alex and he's got fifteen missiles in case the person in the ship isn't Naomi. She is pretty sure the ship is gonna explode. She needs to.figure out a way to.tell Alex to get out of there.
ch ch 45 amos 458
Whip cream 🍦 is better than yogurt. At least that's what my wife tells me our dog told her.
Peaches and Amos and some of Erich's crew are fixing up the ship. They think they should be able to head out in 45 minutes or so. Some guy asks Amos if he can go get someone else. Amos says they're leaving in 45 minutes and if they're not here, they are getting left behind. Those security aholes show up with friends and Amos helps to hold them off while Erich fires up the ship. There's a fun thing where Erich tells Amos everyone on the ground is gonna be killed when they blast off and Amos is like "we care?" They blast off and make it up to the moon. Amos name drops Avasarala expecting they'll let him land.
ch 46 alex 468
They have sent their message and are waiting for a response. Holden says that fred has analyzed Naomi's distress signal and thinks it might be fake. They're trying to see if they can m At Ch the spin of the other ship when something comes out. It's a person in a vac suit and they are using belter signals to say danger explosion five minutes of air. Bobbie has an idea. Launch her on a missile to grab the person in the vac suit.
ch 47 naomi 475
Bobbie's plan worked perfectly. Naomi is alive and on the razorback. It's super cramped and they have two less crash couches than th wry have people so they can't really go anywhere. But they can fire a missile to blow up Naomi's ship,.so they do that. The Roci is on the way to save the day. Plenty of room and crash couches for everyone there.
ch 48 holden 482
Everyone on the razorback has made it back to the Roci. The whole crew minus Amos is back together. But Alex just got good news from the moon. I'm assuming it's Amos cause he's next up.
ch 49 amos 492
Blah, blah, blah. Nothing really happens in this Chapter, just a lot of talking. Erich doesn't know what to do, Avasarala informs Amos that this ship is NOT legitimate salvage, peaches is worried 😟 she'll get sent back the prison. Amos really only knows he's gotta get back to the Roci. Nothing else matters to him and he doesn't want to talk about it.
ch 50 alex 502
Amos calls Alex back and tells him about his bike ride.
Everyone is back together on the moon. Avasarala summons them to tell them she's starti mg an official police action against the Free Navy and needs their help. Holden a assumes she wants him to lead it and her response is the best
Holden, I have crates of anti-herpes drugs that are more legitimately UN Navy than you are
She just wants them to be a cooperative part of the action. Especially Naomi because she was with Marcos and knows more about him than everyone else combined.
They are gonna try to go out on the town.
Amos says he wants to bring on an apprentice.
ch 51 naomi 513
Said apprentice is Peaches and Holden's immediate response is hell no. Naomi tells Holden her while back story. Nothing really gets resolved. But they've got a fun theory, the colony ships that disappeared have nothi mg to do with Marcos. The ring gates are eating ships and we have no idea how or why.
Epilogue: Sauveterre 522
Sauveterre's a former Martian ship captain. There is a giant fleet getting ready to go.through the ring gate. This is most of what used to be the Martian fleet. This is who has the protomolecule they stole from Fred Johnson. They have scientists that expect to control Roman artifacts. These scientists make Sauveterre's skin crawl. But he's going through with it cause it's part of the plan that other smarter folks at higher pay grades have figured out. They start going through the ring gate. It goes badly. I'm assuming whatever ate the missing colony ships are eating this ship.
