Martian Admiral Muhan answers Nguyen's bio-weapon threat with cold fury: fire anything bigger than a bottle rocket and she'll glass the whole moon.
Admiral Muhan of the Martian Congressional Republic Navy commands part of the Martian fleet that converges on Io against Nguyen's outnumbered ships. When Nguyen's surface cronies threaten to launch a biological weapon at Mars, Muhan cuts in over the channel with a cultured Martian accent and barely restrained fury: 'You fire anything bigger than a bottle rocket and we will glass the whole fucking moon. Do you read me?' Her ultimatum — as Amos wryly notes, one side 'cocking its gun' — raises the stakes of the standoff to the edge of catastrophe, threatening the very lab (and Mei) the crew came to save.
Not physically described; present as a cultured, coldly furious Martian woman's voice over the fleet channel.
