When Holden is describing the slow zone on camera (to the reporter lady for her documentary or whatever) when they first enter he notes that it doesn't extend to inside ships for whatever reason.

ZombieLenin posted:Reading BA and I'm confused about the status of the Martian navy. It's stated that 1/5th of it flew off through the gate, but why about the other 4/5th? They talk about Mars like the whole navy is gone. It wasn't just the fifth or whatever hosed off through the gates and got eaten. It's implied at least that Duarte had some ships with him from the initial expedition to Laconia or whatever, plus everything they sold to Marco's band of maniacs. I don't think specifics are ever given but it's probably closer to half the fleet

I really enjoyed that the "goths" are apparently some form of intelligence and not just the builder aliens tech running up against the laws of the universe, was afraid they'd take the easy way out Also, "Like a fuckin' Valkyrie"

adebisi lives posted:Overall I liked TW but one thing kind of bugged me but I'm not sure if it's a plot hole - how does Laconia or anyone for that matter know that the gates eating ships is related to whatever killed the protomolecule aliens and shot the bullet into the laconian battleship 1 book ago? That just seems like a pretty big logical leap that everyone in the book seems to take for granted. Couldn't the mass limit on the gates just be a built in feature? The TV show seems to be dodging this by having Holden see the black alien monster rushing him as they pass through the gate at the end of the last season spoiler'd just in case Duarte makes the connection and tells Holden about it during the PR epilogue. Says that something doesn't like them using the builder's technology and connects the bullet on the Tempest to the disappearing ships. Doesn't seem like too big a leap but readers can already make the connection because of the similarity between Elvi's experience passing through the bullet and the PoVs of various characters getting dutchman'd

I'm picturing an epilogue from the PoV of the protomolecule, stumbled upon by some other alien race hundreds/thousands of years in the future, describing it building a ring for them, then ending with the phrase "It reaches out." it won't be that, I'm sure, but that'd be pretty cool imo

Hed posted:Last flight of the Cassandra: I didn’t really get the point of this one. I read them all in “as published” order which means I read this right after book 8 but don’t remember any references to Martian religious sects or sacrifices or anything. The only thing I really got out of this is that before the MCR, there was the male symbol, which haha men are from Mars. This was a stretch goal for the RPG Kickstarter, was supposed to just be a little story in the setting and nothing more (and IIRC won't be reprinted when they do the collection of all of them)

Abaddon's Gate also describes them destroying multiple systems (hundreds?) to try to contain what killed them.
