A scientist who worked on the Eros incident is being held in a Belter detention facility with other Protogen researchers, years after the events of Leviathan Wakes. Told from his perspective as he waits to learn his fate, reconstructing what his colleagues did and why, and what it means that he is still alive. A cold, unsettling portrait of how good people participate in atrocities. Best read between Nemesis Games and Babylon's Ashes.
