    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

    Summary

    Everything hurts. Not as much as it should, surely, a tingling numbness dampening the sharp and shredding pain even as it attempts to spread out through his entire body. It’s similar to one giant bruise getting pressed against a sharp edge.

    OR

    Grace really thought that his life had settled into something relatively normal and routine. It’s a good life, one that he likes. He gets to teach his kids, spend time with Rocky and Adrian, and go for walks on his simulated beach. So, of course, the universe has to throw him one last curveball right when he’s finally content.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    The one really, really shitty part of this is everything that’s permanent.

    That, Luis hadn’t detailed, nor had Leon entirely expected.

    With the political turmoil of his failed rescue mission, the explosion of worldwide T-Virus outbreaks, Leon finds navigating through Europe to find a cure to he and Ashley's condition difficult. There's so much he wants, so much he thinks 'should be' in the face of 'what is', and facing that will come at the cost of knowing himself and what's become of those he's cared about.
