In shock after her first kill, Aster buries her feelings as she and Halan prepare for QTA Manager Coley to arrive on the beacon; Coley immediately distrusts Halan and sees him as a threat, forcing Aster to make a tough decision.

So, what did we learn? QTA intended to make Aster's ship crash as a way to get her onto the Beacon with Solomon, and she was just lucky that Harlan saved her anyway?

Very informative freeze frame where the battle occured on [Date] in the [TBD Star System].

There's been a surprising amount of foot traffic at this isolated, ends of the galaxy, remote outpost already. Bart should give tours.

Well, it's an isolated outpost at the remote ends of the galaxy that has some low-rent knockoff of the Expanse's protomolecule, so everybody has to come have a looksee.

And, less snarkily, Coley was there to pick up whatever the QTA "acquired" from the Beacon via Aster's "accident", whether it was Solomon or Halan, no? And I kind of get the impression that the Wreckers were tipped off that there would be something worth looting in the 2nd episode?
