The guard replies that they have to, as this block holds inmates with body modifications. She leads him through an underground courtyard, where Amos notes there are more guards than prisoners. He leaves his things, including his hand terminal, at the prison's front desk, before taking an elevator nine levels below the ground, where he is greeted by a security guard. Welcome to The Pit Īt the UN maximum security penitentiary known as ' The Pit,' Amos watches a display with news of the disaster in a waiting room.

They then get a notice for UN flight restrictions, learning of the bombardment of Earth and an almost simultaneous bombing strike against the Martian parliament. Alex says he hopes his son will have someone like Bobbie to help him. He tells Bobbie that you need people to talk through things like this, and that he is sad he won't be that for his son.

Just then, the Barkeith increases their braking burn, and Alex adjusts their course to follow covertly. Bobbie relates to Alex's feelings of disappointment and tells him that when he gets to the other side of it, he will want to be doing something that matters. Echoing Bobbie's story about the box she made to bury her rat in, Alex laments that by exposing the conspiracy, they are building a coffin for their dying planet. She tells Alex that emotional stamina runs out, and even grief can get used up. When the rat died, Bobbie was distraught, but then she stopped because she got tired of being sad. Bobbie tells Alex a story about a pet rat she had as a child, which she named Mouse. Alex is disappointed that he sacrificed his marriage and twenty years of his life for the Martian Navy which apparently is a bunch of crooks, and asks Bobbie how she can be so unaffected by the corruption they are witnessing.

Bobbie is convinced that they are part of the conspiracy, while Alex is more hesitant to believe that three entire ship crews worth of people are involved. Alex and Bobbie tail the supply convoy īetween Mars and the Belt, Alex and Bobbie are flying on the Razorback, which has been renamed to 'The Screaming Firehawk.' They are tracking the MCRN Barkeith and its escort frigates, which for the time being seems to be going on its regular supply route.
