Can someone remind me how the proto molecule got on board to where Amos is messing with it at the start ?

It was in the safe of the derelict stealth ship they boarded (and blew up) in S1.

I can't imagine that an anime was the origin of it, but I remember hearing some commentary from one of the creators of the Gundam franchise about writing anti-war war stories. Basically boiled down to this weird paradox that war makes for very exciting dramatic stories and, when you make a cool war show, you're constantly running the risk of the audience not getting it. Because we will never be lacking for hawkish lunatics that want to kill to validate themselves. So I really enjoy how much effort has been put into The Expanse's brinksmanship being semi-rational to the people in the universe, but utterly pointless to the audience.


The most common attribution for that quote is François Truffaut, but then again he didn't live long enough to watch Come and see.
