Quotes 

• Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : MCRN Denali linked tracking with UNN Farragut, and in conjunction with Sentinal-16, the combined railgun barrage destroyed the three incoming rocks.

  Gareth : I used to like shooting stars.

  Chrisjen Avasarala : I never did. Secondary impacts?

  Gareth : Four significant fragments made it to ground, two striking populated areas. Total casualties under 500.

  Chrisjen Avasarala : Don't try to make it sound like a success.

  Gareth : Well, I-I wasn't, ma'am, but we have knocked down nearly every rock Marco Inaros has thrown at us for the last six months. That's 200 individual strikes.

  Chrisjen Avasarala : And he has kept what's left of our fleet pinned down doing it, while he makes every station and rock hopper in the Belt pledge allegiance to his so-called fucking Free Navy.

  Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : Mars has assured us there will be one more Donnager class operational within the month.

  Gareth : And we'll have three more battleships ready for deployment by year's end. The yards are working around the clock.

  Chrisjen Avasarala : It's like a goddamn nuclear winter. Have you read the latest biospheric assessment?

  Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : Not yet.

  Chrisjen Avasarala : Repurposing our atmospheric CO2 scrubbers isn't working. Not well enough. Meteoric contaminants are still rising, even faster than before. Every rock kills us a little more, even when they miss. I gave a speech at that facility when it opened eleven years ago, almost to the day. I toured those fields. The corn was ready to harvest. The stalks were so heavy they bent.
