    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Ch.11 excerpt:

    "Through the panes of a Cupola rose the body of a planet, entirely whole and refracting through each cut panel of the glass. Twisting roiling folds of jade and lime that bent and curved as verdant fields of grass. Congregations of gold and amber flowers sprouting forth, petals splayed in a melting haze, their pollen dusting the air. Whirls and whorls of mossy tree bark reaching and stretching as far as he could see, eclipsing the entire window as though an eye through a porthole, a pinhole. Its entire circumference ringed in a halo of glorious white and a softer, muted teal, Simon - bleeding, aching, and tasting vomit - stared into the face of an incomprehensible, impossible god."

    -

    Still trying to save their respective planets, Grace and Rocky gain a new problem they need to solve: the body of impossible human being appearing in the Hail Mary's airlock. Things slowly get worse from there.

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    It's been a few years since Ryland Grace's well-earned retirement on Erid. He's saved one planet and given a second the tools to do the same for itself. Other than a bit of expected loneliness, he feels pretty good about the whole thing, all told.
    And then one day, Erid reports an unexpected object in their system- a spacecraft. Grace, Rocky, and Adrian investigate, only to find a bizarre and impossible vessel, and inside, underneath the coating of gore, is a man on the verge of death.
    Grace doesn't know what to feel about this wrench in his carefully maintained new life. Simon, who is mutated physically by his experiences, strange and aggressive and so, so scared. Their narratives don't align, and Grace can feel his new world falling apart around him just as soon as he's found it.
    But this is bigger than both of them.
