Complete story — includes the ending

As the civilians of Earth become more fearful about the prospect of war with Mars, Secretary General Esteban Sorrento-Gillis calls in an old friend, the Methodist pastor Anna "Annushka" Volovodov, to help convince the people that God is on Earth's side. Anna irritates Errinwright by calling for restraint. Jules-Pierre Mao visits Dr Strickland on Io, considering shutting down the whole project, though Strickland reveals the children of Ganymede can be controlled hosts for the protomolecule, including Mei. Pursuing the Razorback, Errinwright's men fire again and Avasarala's body cannot take the force of acceleration needed to escape. Bobbie sends out a Martian distress signal that is picked up by Holden's crew. Holden and Amos want to ignore it and Alex and Naomi want to help. Prax breaks the tie and decides to assist them. Holden has torpedoes fired around the Razorback as a shield and then uses an explosion for cover to get in close to disable the UN ship's engines. After Amos saves his life, Prax admits he is scared of what he will find on Io, though Amos says Prax should not give up on his daughter. As Avasarala passes out, she and Bobbie are picked up by a stunned Holden and crew.
