Props! You may be the first reactor I've seen to deduce so early that a ship has to go through the ring slowly to survive.

Was going to say the same, but you beat me to it. Many other reactors have lots of wacky theories, and I had a few of my own when I first watched this, so I'm amazed by your intuition. Can't wait to hear more of your theories as it gets crazier and crazier, in a good way, over the next few episodes.

From the books.... "There was a man once, and his name was Miller. And he found things, but he doesn’t anymore. He saved people if he could. He avenged them if he couldn’t. He sacrificed when he had to. He found the things that were missing. He knew who’d done it, and he did the obvious things because they were obvious. The investigator had grown through his bones, repopulated his eyes with new and unfamiliar life, taken his shape." .................................. "It builds the investigator, and the investigator looks, but does not know. It kills the investigator. It builds the investigator, and the investigator looks, but does not know. It kills the investigator. It builds the investigator, and the investigator looks but does not know, and it does not kill the investigator. It is not aware of a change, that a pattern has broken. The investigator is aware, and it wonders, and because it wonders it looks, and because it looks, the investigator exceeds its boundary conditions, and it kills the investigator. It builds the investigator. Something knows. The investigator hesitates. A pattern has broken, and it isn’t aware that a pattern has broken, but a part of it is. A part of it grasps at the change and tries to tell the investigator. And the investigator stops. Its thoughts are careful as a man walking in a minefield. The investigator hesitates, knows a pattern has been broken. Breaks it a little more. The dead place becomes better defined. It reaches out, and it does not kill the investigator. The investigator exceeds its boundary conditions, and it does not kill the investigator. The investigator considers the dead space, the structure, the reaching out, the reaching out, the reaching out. The investigator licks his lips, he doesn’t have a mouth. He adjusts his hat, he doesn’t have a hat. He wishes in a distant way that he had a beer, he has no body and no passion. He turns his attention to the dead space, to the world, to how you solve unsolvable problems. How you find things that aren’t there. What happens when you do." ................................. "It reaches out, it reaches out, it reaches out, it reaches out- One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out. It is not conscious, though parts of it are. There are structures within it that were once separate organisms; aboriginal, evolved, and complex. It is designed to improvise, to use what is there and then move on. Good enough is good enough, and so the artifacts are ignored or adapted. The conscious parts try to make sense of the reaching out. Try to interpret it." I made a short audio clip of *"It reaches out, it reaches out, it reaches out, it reaches out. One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers, and it reaches out."* from the audiobook, ran it through some effects to give it an artificial mechanical sound, and made it my ringtone. It freaks people out when my phone rings and this voice is going "It reaches out...." but it gives me a great opportunity to tell them about The Expanse. ✌️

Dang, you nailed the trick of entering the Ring right off the bat! Something to note: The missile was enveloped by a purple haze. I'm guessing Holden is the only one who can see Miller is because of the members of the crew, Holden spent the most critical time with Miller. Miller would have built more strong synapses in his shared experiences with Holden than with anyone else on the Roci....plus, the Protomolecule knows through Miller that Holden is the captain. And the Protomolecule is using the Roci because that's where it's physical presence is located.

I think it's also worth noting that of the people on the Rocinante, Holden is for sure the most likely to actually try to help Miller with what he wants to do

There's something so eerie about the idea that the protomolecule can replicate life so exactly and yet still can't control it totally. Like, it knows exactly how to disassemble and reassemble you over and over and over again without changing a thing, right down to the chemical processes and electrical signals that determine your thought patterns. Furthermore it can adjust the recreation to suit its own needs. It knows Miller was an Investigator, and that's just what it needs, so it gives Miller a new case to work on. But at the same time, for all its power, it can't process or control some aspects of life. It can't suppress Miller's attitude or his curiosity to look behind curtains other than the ones he's supposed to. Its creation is a weird scramble of Miller's past, regurgitating things he's said or heard throughout his life, but also filled with impossible knowledge Miller could never have known, which only makes him ask more questions. It can pull his strings but he can still struggle on those strings at will - and so it has to destroy him and start over again any time he goes too far. "When I exceed my boundary conditions, that's when they kill me." Is bone-chilling to me.

Doors and corners. I think the story has implied that the protomolecule is a seed that adapts to its environment, repurposing and recycling the available resources towards it's work creating the ring. Disassembly and sometimes reassembly of various bits and bobs it comes into contact with. I wouldn't be surprised if it could do the same in simulation? Imagine a perfect digital copy stored some where, then being awakened in a virtual purgatory. Whenever you get off task (cross a boundary condition) you cease to exist and a new slightly tweaked version is created to try again. A cascade of virtual deaths until an acceptable tool for the job is created. Sounds like a violation to be modified without consent in order to become a useful tool. Or maybe how to train an AI.

2:33 we've seen that gesture a couple times before (Naomi flashed it at the Martian interrogator who questioned her on the Donnager in season 1, for one). it's the belter equivalent of the middle finger
@MattNolanCustom3 ай бұрын
I think the Naomi one to interrogator one was different, and we'll see her use it again later this season. Finger and thumb making a loop. IIRC, we've seen this one with the crossed fingers from Drummer before, to Fred about getting him a coffee. Seems more joking / friendly than the one Naomi used on Lopez.
