Someone high up is doing a favor for a shareholder. In Chief Shahdid's office, Miller gets assigned a new job- off the record, on his own time. Miller responds "No laws on Ceres, just cops." Havelock asks whether there are laws against what Miller did. Miller starts to get physical with the suspect before Muss tells him off. Inside, one of the cops, Octavia Muss, is having some issues getting a suspect being booked to cooperate. The tram reaches Miller and Havelock's stop, and they disembark, entering the station for the Star Helix private security firm. Vargas responds "full compliance," and hands Miller a stack of chips, and Miller says that there's no need for him to check on the filters. Miller asks whether Vargas changed the air filters. When the man makes the mistake of putting his hands on Miller, Miller responds by restraining him and frog-marching him out of the bar, remarking that their break is over.Īfterward, Miller and Havelock are on a tram ride going somewhere, when Miller bumps into Vargas, an acquaintance of Miller's. Miller and Havelock grab drinks in a bar, as Miller explains to Havelock the telltale physical signs of Belters from growing up in low gravity- physical tremors, elongated proportions, and, in Miller's case, as one obnoxious patron points out, spinal deformities on the base of his neck from cheap bone growth meds from being a ward of the state. Miller responds "keeps the rain off my head." As they leave, Miller and Havelock converse and trade barbs- Miller about how Havelock will never pass for a Belter, and Havelock asks why Miller wears a hat needlessly on a space station. Havelock is fascinated by the physical differences between the corpse, a Belter, and himself, an Earther. Miller, the older one, and the witness converse in Belter Creole and sign language. He asks whether the cop knows which side he'll be on "when the blood is on the wall." He responds in the affirmative, and the protester says "see you then, welwala." His partner asks what that means and the cop responds "Traitor to my people."Ĭut to the cops - Josephus Miller and Dimitri Havelock - questioning a prostitute about a john who was murdered. The two men - obviously cops - discuss running the protester in, until the older man is called out by the protester. We see that the voice is that of a protester, the camera lingering on an older man wearing a porkpie hat and a younger man watching the crowd. We follow the tunnels of Ceres to the the Medina marketplace on the poorest, uppermost levels. A voice narrates as we see ships docking at the "lowest" levels, documenting how Earth and Mars harvested the ice on Ceres for themselves, making Ceres a vital port in the Belt, but denying its wealth and resources to the people who call it home. She screams.Īt some other place and time, we are shown our first view of Ceres Station, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, now a human colony and UN protectorate, hollowed out and spun up to create gravity through centrifugal force. She spots what looks like the upper torso of a person, flailing and in pain. something, glowing bright blue and making an ominous hum. She cuts her way through the hatch, into the reactor core-which is covered in. She hefts a wrench near a hatch, and is startled by a floating EVA suit. She walks past an airlock, bloodstains marking the walls.
The camera lingers on the text on her jumpsuit. She takes a moment to orient herself, kicks on her mag boots, and stands up. Bracing herself using some convenient handles, the woman slams her back into the door several times, until finally it breaks loose, flinging her out into a darkened hallway. She's down to her last few drops of water. The woman is pounding on the door, begging to be let out of the compartment. The little room she's in shakes with the mechanical sounds of something firing, as we see that she's currently floating in zero gravity.
She's on a ship, and from the sounds of the PA system and of running crew, they're going into combat.
