@shippychaos I don't think I'm terribly interested in Chrisjen/Bobbie, but The Expanse: Oops All Lesbians sounds intriguing. (Like maybe a Bobbie/Camina thing? Just two angry, pugnacious ladies…)
@shippychaos Do you remember in the show when Bobbie was looking into the missing Martian ships (some of which ended up with Marco)? Well the majority of them are for a breakaway Martian faction that goes through the rings, settles on a planet with a usable ancient alien forge and cuts off all traffic to their new home.
Then we jump 30 years forward when they reemerge, declaring themselves rulers of a new human empire, with super powerful ships and weapons.
@shippychaos Oh they get steamrolled for quite a while, and it becomes kind of a guerrilla multi-front resistance. Things shift though once the beings that killed the ones who made the protomolecule and the ring gate system notice that someone new is using said gates.
Then shit gets complicated on a cosmic "interdimensional beings who can basically manipulate time" scale.
@shippychaos I think the books do a better job of laying this out, but basically the idea is that the Ring Builders (aka the ones who made the protomolecule) are gone, and not because they just died out but because someone/something else killed them off. The wiki has a decent explanation: https://expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Ring_Entities
@shippychaos And do you remember the seemingly weirdly unconnected story about the girl, her dead (and then sort of not dead) brother and the weird dog-esque creatures? That’s the planet where the rogue martians settle.
