Complete story — includes the ending

For lack of options, the Canterbury ' s survivors accept a proposal by Fred Johnson to dock at Tycho Station. With his help, they modify the ship's transponder, renaming the ship the Rocinante to hide its connection to the Donnager. A flashback shows how Johnson became "The Butcher of Anderson Station" eleven years ago; as a UN Marine colonel, he led an assault on a station occupied by protesting miners, killing all aboard (including many children) despite their attempts at surrender. On Ceres, Miller finds evidence linking Julie Mao to the OPA, which tries to recruit him through its local agent Anderson Dawes. While leaving Julie's apartment with the data chip, Miller is abducted by unknown people.
