    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    “DuBois. Annie. You can’t send them.”

    Eva blinked.

    “Then what do you propose I do instead?”

    His chest stopped moving for a few seconds, as did his hands. He was still, all of a sudden. Motionless, his eyes still staring at her but the muscles around them contracting like he was fighting a deep instinct to squeeze them shut.

    He began to breathe again, shallowly. Then, he opened his mouth.

    “Send me.”

    ___

    Ryland Grace has thought it all through. He is the only person truly qualified for the mission. He knows Stratt will agree to send him; he's expendable to her.

    So naturally, he makes sure they become friends before he leaves.

    Summary

    ‘It was, decidedly, not Grace’s day.

    He felt as though he had completed at least 15 laps on Stratt’s Vat from all the people who needed a word with him. What little free time he had between his brief meetings were filled by mind-numbing paperwork that never seemed to shrink in number. And, to top it all off, he had an annoyingly persistent stomach ache that had plagued him since he woke up.’

    Or: Grace gets a bad stomach ache just before meeting with the primary Hail Mary crew and blames it on overworking himself. Spoiler alert: it isn’t.

    Summary

    It started with a drinking game and ends how it was always going to, but a lot happens in between. Grace gets adopted and has just learned to roll with it.
