More than anything, The Seventh Man lays out how bad decisions come from good places. Alex, Amos, Holden, Fred JohnsonвЂ¦ yeah, theyвЂ™re her friends and shipmates, but none of them really understand her perspective. ItвЂ™s easy to sit here on Earth and decide Naomi made a bad call not destroying that blue goop (look, she made a really bad call), but itвЂ™s also easy to see why she wasnвЂ™t down with a bunch of Inners telling her whatвЂ™s good for the Belt. So, great, Dawes is more than likely going to track down the missile that Naomi didnвЂ™t blow up and get himself a nice bucket of alien mutagen. Dawes snatches the scientist and slips away from Tycho, which is bad for any number of reasons, but mostly because said scientist is aware that thereвЂ™s more protomolecule out there somewhere.

Dawes is brilliant and oh my lord, donвЂ™t you just want to see him and Chrisjen throw down? It certainly says a lot about The Expanse that the prospect of watching two characters in a room talking is as exciting as an all-out war.

Well, Diogo never really had a chance against the will of Anderson Dawes, who figured out exactly how to play him within about thirty seconds. No wonder the Belt follows himвЂ¦ which is why young Diogo spills the secret that the sole surviving member of the science team working on the protomolecule is being kept on Tycho. HeвЂ™s a thug when he needs to be, cagey at all times, charming when it suits - a natural leader who gives back to the people when he could use his power for his own means. The character of Dawes is such a wonderful combination of personality traits. Something else Dawes has reasoned out is that if Fred Johnson is willing to give up the nukes, he must have something else up his sleeve. But as Naomi says to him after the meeting, all those Belters saw was two Earthers trying to tell them how to run things. Peace just means things go back to the way they were, and how is that good for the Belt? Holden, bless him, backs up Fred JohnsonвЂ™s plan because heвЂ™s a rational guy who doesnвЂ™t think hotheads should have access to planet-busting missiles.

War between Mars and Earth would be bad for the Belt, for sure, but peace would be even worse, he says to a room full of people ready for rebellion. Dawes is a Belter through and through, and heвЂ™s also incredibly savvy. He nominates Anderson Dawes, charismatic OPA leader from Ceres to be their representative, and thatвЂ™s where everything starts to go wrong.

His argument is a good one, too - return the nukes to Earth as a sign of good faith, and get treated like an equal for the first time ever. Up on Tycho, Fred Johnson calls together the various factions of the OPA to discuss a plan for grabbing a seat at this peace summit table.
