    Summary

    As Colt Seavers is driving to Tom Ryder's loft, he nearly hits someone on the way there. When he finally sees who he nearly hit, his world will never be the same.

    Because the man he nearly hit looks exactly like him. A carbon copy, if you will.

    And what does this carbon copy of Colt Seavers do when he sees him? He runs.

    And maybe Colt Seavers will regret chasing his doppelganger down when a 400-pound rock spider comes to his doppelganger's rescue.

    (A story where Grace and Rocky have accidentally shucked themselves into Colt Seaver's world during the movie and get unwillingly tangled within its plot.) (Alternating POVs between Colt and Grace)

    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.
