Marco's desperate economist secretly warns Pa that without the original recovery plan, the Belt's supply system fails within three years.
Sanjrani is a Free Navy inner-circle figure whose name has been attached to Marco's leadership but who can no longer make himself heard through Rosenfeld or locate Anderson Dawes. Smuggled to Eugenia by Captain Ezio Rodriguez, he meets Michio Pa without Marco's knowledge and angrily insists that she and Marco are both killing the Belt.
His projections reveal the original purpose behind conscripting colony supplies: they were temporary time bought to build a sustainable Belt economy after Earth, the source of essential complex organics, was devastated. The needed infrastructure was not built. Pa's diversion of resources and Marco's war leave the present population perhaps three to three and a half years before recycling losses outstrip supplies and a famine cascade begins. He can diagnose the disaster but cannot say how to fix it.
A thin-framed Belter man with dark curly hair and an urgent, high-strung manner; he appears in practical ship clothing, strapped at a tiny improvised office desk while projecting economic curves.
Sanjrani supplies the economic truth that turns Pa's immediate war into a countdown toward systemic Belt starvation.
