toamats wrath ch 36 through end

Chapter Thirty-Six: Teresa 

Kids have control issues because they're not in control of anything.   9ne thing they can control is whether or not they eat.  Every kid goes through a phase where they stop eating to impose their control on things.  Teresa is going through such a phase now.  She ends up in the hospital 🏥 as a result. Prior to this elvi was teaching her and her class biology by disecting frogs.  She gets angry at elvi for bringing her to her doctor instead of evil scientist.   She's worried she might accidentally spill the beans about her dad and says elvi should have taken her to evil scientist cause he already knows.  Elvi tells her she thinks evil scientist might kill Teresa.

“I don’t know. I’m in over my head here.” “Yeah,” Teresa said. “Me too.”

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Alex 
Alex makes it back to the Roci.  So does Naomi.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Naomi 
They fix up the roci and leave freehold to get out into space.  They are sad about Bobbie together.  Then there's a wierd unexplainable phenomenon and they lose 20 minutes.  God Dammed Laconians.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Elvi
There's a lot of talking about the nature of the Goths and the zombie children and this latest event and Duartes situation.   Mainly in that duarte is as good as dead and evil scientist is effectively playing around with a corpse.  Elvi suggests maybe Laconia should surrender to the resistance so all of humanity can focus on the Goth problem.

Chapter Forty: Teresa 
Things suck for Theresa.  Fuck this place, I'm out.

Chapter Forty-One: Naomi 
Alex and Naomi get some new crew mates on the Roci.

Chapter Forty-Two: Alex 
The fyll resistance fleet, which is to s pg ships goes through the laconian gate.  The laconians are not 0leased and make it clear the storm is the8r primary target.

Chapter Forty-Three: Elvi 
Wlvi is having a good time hanging out with the zombie children.  She and evil scientist are summoned by Trejo.  As they leave evil scientist is all , you treat the zombie children like people and they ain't.  What a dick.  Trejo tells them about the invading 400 resistance ships.  They are curious about the plan.  The resistance must have something else up their sleeve if they expect to win against super ship.  They decide Duarte needs to make a statement.   The plan for that is to get an image of Duarte sitting down and then computer generate him making the statement.   This is challenging cause Duarte won't stand still.  Elvi holds his hand to calm him down.  His response is to stand up and the go to evil scientist and wave his hand in front of his face as if trying to shoo away a fly 🪰.   Then the strangest thing happens.  Half of evil scientist just sorta floats away into a blood mist and he's super duper dead.

Trejo decides he'll just make his own statement rather than ever seeing Duarte ever again.

Chapter Forty-Four: Naomi 
The battle against Laconia is on.  The basic plan is to lure the big ship and most of the not as big but still super dangerous ships to the outer edge of the solar system while the Roci and some other ships go to Laconia to blow up the ship yards that are building these big ships.  But just as they're nearing Laconia and everything is firing on them they get an evacuation request from Amos and this changes things.

Chapter Forty-Five: Teresa 
This invasion is happening and one of their destroyers was destroyed come back through the laconian gate, but we have more important things to focus on.  Teresa's 15th birthday party.  She hates it.  She hates everyone and everything and all she wants is GTFO.   Pretty standard 15 year old.  When she hears a out Naomi's four ships heading to Laconia she gets a smart idea.  She rescues Holden and takes Amos's tablet and calls for evacuation. 

Chapter Forty-Six: Elvi 
This chapter is a fun romantic comedy esque set of misunderstandings.  Elvi is reading mad scientists notes and gets the idea that Holden gave him the idea to kill Teresa.  So when Teresa and Holden are escaping elvi thinks Holden is trying to kidnap and kill her.  Funny.   But she doesn't have a gun or anything so it's not a big deal and Holden gets a chance to explain himself.  At this point he's Teresa's hostage and she's gonna get him off this rock.  He also explains that everything he did was with the goal of getting Elvi in charge of the effort to fight the Goths. So Elvi let's them go cause she realizes she does want to be in charge.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Naomi 
The evacuation signal screws up the plan a bit cause Naomi tells everyone to slow down cause they're gonna answer the call AFTER they finish the mission.  They lose a ship blowing up the ship yards and the surface railguns, but the other two ships head toward the gate and the rocinante us landing on Laconia. 

Chapter Forty-Eight: Teresa 
If something bad happens to the dog I'm not reading any more.  Holden and Teresa make it to the extraction point.  But before they Re rescued,  coloneol Ilich and some thugs roll up.  He tells Teresa that if she doesn't come back with them he'll shoot her dog.  Amos saves the day.  He's a zombie now but he still sounds like he's himself.   The roci shows up and they are saved.  That is until they realize this whole thing has taken too long and one of the laconian ships has made it back and is targeting weapons 

Chapter Forty-Nine: Naomi 
The laconian ship tells them to drop core and prepare to be boarded.  Teresa gets on the coms and tells them to fuck off.  They do.

Teresa Duarte was an astounding beast of a human being.

The Roci four have a space burial for Bobbie. 

They make it through to the ring space alive 

Chapter Fifty: Elvi 
Elvi has taken over Laconia's science.   Trejo is all, you gotta do more war stuff.  She tells him to fuck off and gets to work.  She tells the scientist I'm charge of the pen to shut it down.  She frees the zombie children and is all, I got work to do and you're gonna help me.

Dr. Elvi Okoye, she's a real bad bitch.

Epilogue: batch.
