Bobbie uses her armor's strength to hold on to the boarding walkway, preventing the skiff from leaving while Alex sets an explosive in its thrusters. She kills two of the boarders as Alex jumps from outside the Firehawk and grabs onto the Belter Skiff. The skiff's crew connect a docking tube to the Firehawk and try to board, only for Bobbie to appear donning her power armor. The Screaming Firehawk is floating idly in space, when it is approached by the Belter skiff that was trading warships with the Martians. On the screen, he sees a notification for a message that Naomi sent to him before she was abducted. They relent and, after the Roci departs Tycho, Holden tells her that she will need to be in her vac suit soon just before he enters the ship's security control and grants Monica guest level access to the ship's systems and amenities. Despite the men's protests, she points out that they wouldn't have the Zmeya's flight plan to follow without her, that they can't know if Marco Inaros will send agents after her again, and that she has been in situations of similar danger before. Holden, Bull, Leveau and a crew of Belters are preparing the Rocinante to leave Tycho when Monica arrives. They decide to covertly walk through the forest and head towards Baltimore, where Amos has contacts.

She is visibly tearful and shaking, and picks up her terminal to send a message to Arjun, but she is interrupted by the arrival of David Paster, Nancy Gao's Secretary of Transportation.
