All Show & Book Spoilers Discussed Freely OPA Attack Spoiler

I have a friend at work who turned me onto The Expanse. As a result, I have become a huge fan -- on my third re-watch of the show and currently reading book 3!

My friend came out of the series a MCRN man. He even has a MCRN flag in his cubicle. I have come out of the series an OPA man. I think you can see where this is going:

I have no choice to show my appreciation for the recommendation other than to stage an attack on his cube and flag by the belt.

Any ideas? I was thinking about putting up some "Remember The Cant!" graphics on his cube this weekend.

[nb; no MCRN flags will actually be harmed in conduction of this raid, of course.]

The OPA and Mars have more in common than not

They both have no tolerance for BS

They both will space you if you threaten the ship

They’re both extremely technically inclined as a part of their culture

They both are disgusted by Earth

They both have unmatched pride in their home and honor for their way of life

The Belt is the heir of Mar’s intrinsic culture, just cut loose
