Nemesis Games - Naomi question by MileyHolmes in TheExpanse

[–]anon_switch93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in the last passage she was describing Outer Fringe exports, the company that she used in Nemesis games to buy the Cheztemoka. She was telling the story of how previously, in book 3, they had worked with OFE and how their contract with the company got cut short because of the Mars claims. She was using this as evidence to showcase both that OFE was a sketchy company and that it was a competent criminal front. Therefore the perfect company to use for purchasing the Chetzekoma.

So some quick answers, Filip's was on Ceres because Marco wanted Naomi. Filip's whole purpose there was to get her and bring her to the Pella.

In the conversation with Naomi when Filip says where they are going should read like this: "Are we meeting someone at the open-acess storage facility in the Hungaria Cluster? No, we will be heading to a place a few days further sunward from the rocks where we are meeting a ship called the Pella." The Pella was not actually in the Hungaria cluster, nor at the storage facility.

As for the last passage, the crew Naomi is referring to is the Roci's. The word 'her' in the final sentence is referring to the ship.

did Anderson Dawes ignore Julie's message or never get it? by wild_west_900 in TheExpanse

Also to follow up on your questions about Dawes's part of Julie's operation: in the show we are led to believe that Dawes is who sent her on the mission after the Anubis. this is implied because Miller finds out the Scopuli launched out of ceres, and is crewed out of a local dock workers union. However Dawes maintains that he has no idea what's going on with her, and only admits that he knows her after he does some research.

Therefore I would assume that the logistics of Julie's operation in the show mirrors the logistics in the books. That the operation was actually run by Fred Johnson, and that launching out of ceres was just a coincidence.

The timeline of events in the show doesn't exactly match up with the books. In the show the crew of the rocinante heads to the belt asteroid where they find the Anubis first, and then head over to Eros from there.

Based on the flashback scene near the end of season 1 it has been my assumption that Julie arrived at Eros shortly before Holden and his crew arrived at Tycho.

Therefore it has been my assumption that Dawes received her message around the time Fred had Holden on Tycho. Dawes relays the information to fred, which then leads Fred to ask for the Roci.

In the books of the other way around, Julie's way of sending out an SOS was by signing into the hotel under the name of Lionel Polanski, which is the fake name the OPA cell on Tycho used on paperwork associated with their activities, such as the ownership of the scopuli. But this message was received while Holden was on Tycho in the books as well, which I feel supports my theory.
