After escaping Ganymede with the Roci crew to Tycho Station, Prax sends a message to Nicola, asking for financial help to find Mei. Nicola sends some funds and, although this isn't nearly enough, Prax appreciates her sacrifice nonetheless.[1] In order to discredit Prax, whose quest to find his daughter had gained widespread support throughout the Solar System, Errinwright and his cronies find Nicola and make her publicly allege that Prax had physically and sexually abused both her and Mei. This tarnishes Prax's reputation, and he feels deeply betrayed by Nicola's actions. He tries to formulate a message to send to her, but in the end opts to just return the funds she had sent him.[3]
Notes[]
- Umea posed as Nicola with Dr. Strickland in order to abduct Mei on Ganymede.
