A dry, hawk-leaning UN general urging a show of force against Mars over Ganymede.
General Nettleford is one of the UN military chiefs at the Ganymede war council. Dryly witty at the diplomats' expense, he argues Mars has already escalated and pushes to pull the Seventh fleet back from Ceres and "put a ticking clock on the wall" aimed toward Mars. He handles the technical questions about the attacker cagily, repeatedly saying the analysts are "working on it," while floating the theory that Mars refined and weaponized the protomolecule.
