We don’t want to get in a gunfight, Holden warned Amos as they began moving again. Yeah, Amos said. But if we’re in one anyway, it’ll be nice to have guns.

Well, you’ve got a full load of torpedoes and bullets, three Martian warships trailing you, one angry old lady in tea withdrawal, and a Martian Marine who could probably kill you with your own teeth....
We’re little people in big times, yeah?
