    Summary

    Shane does not know what he is staring at when he reads the name of the chat and the influx of texts.

    This looks like actual hell, and more importantly why on earth would Ilya add him to the Boston WAGS chat?

    TLDR: In an attempt to socialise in this new country Ilya puts 'jane' down as his WAG to connect to the team, this has unforeseen consequences for himself.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.

    Summary

    The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.

    And then it happens again.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has survived on Erid for over a decade, but the planet’s crushing 2g gravity—combined with years in a coma and long-term nutritional deficiencies—has slowly taken its toll on his human body. As his condition worsens, Rocky’s technologically advanced species continues studying the laptop containing all of Earth’s knowledge in search of a solution. In doing so, they stumble across something unexpected: the early blueprints of the Avatar program.

    Or, in other words, an AU of what happens when you give a highly intelligent, engineering-driven alien civilization access to all of humanity’s knowledge… including the Avatar program.

    Summary

    “Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”

    “An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.

    chat, it was not an anthropologist

     

    or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

    Summary

    Rocky drops his tools, making Grace jump. “Nightmare? Grace had nightmare?”

    He sounds panicked. Grace hurries to reassure him. “No, no, not a nightmare. Just a…just a dream.”

    “Just dream?”

    Grace sighs. He wrings his hands and sniffles. “We were…on a beach. Together. Sharing the same atmosphere. Safe and…and happy. You asked me about the constellations.”

    “Rocky no understand,” Rocky says. “Sound like good dream. Why Grace sad, question?”

    Ryland Grace went into a coma 10 days before the Hail Mary launched, and his crew were put into their own comas. Turns out there's a ten-day difference in wake-up time, too; and, unfortunately for Ilyukhina and Yao, ten days is enough time to make first contact.

    There is a tiny, rectangular object at the very bottom of the box. I fish it out, and turn it over in my hand. It's a thumbdrive! On one side, the Project Hail Mary logo is printed onto it. On the other side, my name in neat, precise sharpie. Upon seeing this text on the thumbdrive, my heart sinks to my stomach. I'm 90% sure I know who this is from.
