Complete story — includes the ending

On Ceres, Miller investigates water theft from a wealthy area of the station, now severely rationed due to the Canterbury ' s failure to return. In Mao's apartment, he finds clues placing her aboard the Scopuli. On Earth, Avasarala sends the suspected OPA captive to Luna for further interrogation after her superior, Undersecretary Sadavir Errinwright, disapproves of "gravity torture", but the captive dies by suicide en route. Stranded in the Belt, the Knight is damaged by debris from the ice hauler's destruction. Using the last of their air, the survivors build an improvised antenna to place a distress call, which is responded to by the Martian Congressional Republic Navy (MCRN) flagship Donnager. After Nagata identifies the distress transponder from the Scopuli as Martian military technology, Holden broadcasts a message across the Solar System implicating Mars in the destruction of the Canterbury as insurance against being killed as witnesses.
