    Summary

    “Speaking of rumors,” Riyo said while nibbling on the remaining chicken nugget. She should have gotten more. “There’s talk about someone falling from the sphere again.” The other two raised silent eyebrows and she shrugged at the unasked questions. “Dunno. I believe some traffickers claim they found a Sphereite, alive, apparently.”

    Zanka scoffed. “Sounds pretty fake if you ask me. Probably just want to squeeze money out of people and end up giving them a skeleton they found in No Man’s Land. Who survives a fall from the sky?”

    Riyo shrugged again. “It’s just rumors.”

    Enjin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I like rumors,” he said. “Should probably go check it out.”

    --

    Or: What if Rudo hadn't gotten picked up by Enjin in No Man's Land but was instead captured by the traffickers and the Cleaners rescue him later on.

    Summary

    Grace promises Stratt that when he remembers he didn’t volunteer, he’ll sabotage the mission, no matter how much work he’s done to save Earth. On the off chance he isn’t bluffing, Stratt decides to put touch up doses into his food every day.

    This makes his amnesia way, way worse. How do you navigate life on a spaceship, on a suicide mission you don’t know the reason for, when you forget where you are every night?

    Oh, and by the way, there’s an alien upstairs. Don’t worry. He looks like a giant spider, but he’s nice. You call him Rocky.

    Summary

    Hours later, Rocky wriggles awake. The pain has eased. His heartbeats have slowed. His cells are still functioning. There is no falling apart. He can hear the scritch-scratch of his five claws on Xenonite. He can hear the machines, humming their false song. He can hear the silent expanse of space. The distant stars. His friends, dead in the hull. And the building feeling, deep in every cell — every fibre of his body — that something is so incredibly wrong.

    Rocky knows this disease. Exhaustion. And all alone in space, there is no cure.

    It is a primal requirement that Eridians sleep only under the trusting gaze of their companions. Rocky spends forty-six years alone in space.

    Summary

    User Code: “Where am I?” activated! a cheery voice exclaims, and Giyū startles slightly as a glowing, semi-translucent screen pops up in his field of vision. It looks like some sort of video game map – not that he has much experience playing video games – and he feels his forehead crease as he studies the menu options.

    Giyū hesitates, but then asks, “What is this?”

    For a moment, nothing happens, but then the cheery voice says, In your final moments, you expressed a desire to know how Sword of Destruction character Sabito’s story ended. Your afterlife experience has been modified to accommodate your dying wish.
