Why did the protomolecule pull the ships in towards the “station”
Inside the Ring the protomolecule enforces a speed limit, and forces anything exceeding it to slow down, producing a purple glow.
But why does the protomolecule slowly pull all the ships and missiles in towards the "station" at the center of the Ring?
That seems like a strange thing to do if it considers them to be troublesome or dangerous. Why not just eject them, or keep them frozen at a distance?
I understand why the protomolecule might want the Rocinante. Miller: "Cause you have a ship." But not the others.
I would happily accept answers from the books, if they make sense for the TV show.
