![]() Strangely, it appears Holden is the singular person in the entire ruin to not be infected, which greatly distresses Murtry. She has no way to stop it, and it will turn people blind within the next day. She explains that every single person in the ruin is infected with some form of primitive micro-organism that is growing inside their eyes, and she's been lying to everyone that it's an allergy so as not to start a panic. Holden replies that there's nothing he can do until the Investigator talks to him, and he is about to leave when Dr. He asks Holden if he can somehow be of help with the Investigator and the protomolecule ruins. Murtry approaches Holden, who criticizes him for not sharing his resources. Avasarala reasons that she could make an example out of Marco for other Belter pirates, and asks McCourt to keep both options on the table so she can stall her decision until the last moment. General McCourt gives her two options: Either destroy the entire ship full of innocent Belters, which Avasarala says she'd rather avoid, or have the Earth's Marines board it at the risk of them getting hurt. She is shown the footage from the Pizzouza, and her advisors tell her that it hasn't made any stops yet so if he was ever inside, he must be there still. ![]() Later, Avasarala is briefed in her office about Marco Inaros, his faction of loyal followers within the OPA and his divisive terrorist strategies which have turned other OPA factions against him. He tries to calm her down but she keeps lashing out at him, until he gets upset and leaves. Arjun stands up for them, asserting they are the best at what they do, but Avasarala is intent on firing them and criticizes their and Arjun's outlook on politics, which allows the public to second guess her decision-making. Arjun arrives and calms her down, but she loses her temper again when the poll numbers show Gao within 3 points of Avasarala, telling her aides to get out. She did this speech on the advice of her campaign manager, who thought it would be best for Avasarala's image to address the issue immediately after her failure during the debate with Nancy Gao, but Avasarala is angry, feeling that it made her sound weak and incompetent and causing her to lash out at her aides. On Earth, Avasarala is in her nightgown, watching a news feed of herself addressing her citizens and taking the blame for trusting the OPA to handle the Belter terrorist threat. Their last resort is to rescue anyone still aboard, including Lucia's daughter, and let it plummet, but Lucia insists that they need the ship to survive, as it contains all the lithium they have mined and if they lose it they will have absolutely nothing left. On the Roci, Alex and Naomi come up with ways to keep the Barbapiccola afloat a little bit longer, which they share with a worried Lucia. Chandra adds that they should be smart about it, and not attack the Belters unless they attack first. Murtry's camp is much better supplied than the Belters, and he tells his officers that when the Belters run out there will be a fight and that they should prepare for it. When he asks her, she claims that she knows how to treat it, but seems unsure. ![]() He asks her if this is some kind of outbreak, but she reassures him that it's just some sort of allergic reaction. Okoye checks on Jakob, whose eyes have started to turn green with the infection. Chiwewe asks if there's any way they can help but, when Holden says there isn't, she laments that they are still at the mercy of him and his invisible friend. Holden assures her that he's doing everything he can, but they have to stay put for now. Naomi says that the Roci and the Edward Israel can keep afloat for months on their remaining battery power, but the Barbapiccola is low on energy and has a few more days before they fall down to Ilus.Ĭhiwewe approaches Holden and asks when they will be able to return, as they only have enough supplies for one or two days. He asks Naomi about getting the reactors to work again, but since fusion doesn't work anymore due to the protomolecule, there is nothing to be done. Holden and Amos are roaming the chambers of the structure, and calling with Naomi on the Rocinante, who explains that the water isn't receding as fast as they thought and they are currently buried inside a literal ocean, and it will take days before they can possibly go out to the surface. The Belters and the RCE personnel set up separate camps within the alien structure, and Carol Chiwewe has to break up fights over food, as the Belters are low on supplies. Okoye is scanning the eyes of all the people gathered, as there is spreading eye infection caused by strange, green microbes. Ilus has been flooded by the tsunami, but the ruin is safely sealed with everyone inside.
