    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    Summary

    What if Taumoeba never adapted to live inside xenonite, so Grace and Rocky both made it home, alone but safe and sound?

    Rocky arrives to rapturous fanfare. The Eridians get to work, not only on deploying the Taumoeba but on honoring the greatest hero... heroes in Erid history.

    18 years after the Hail Mary’s return, a listening post on Earth picks up a strong infrared signal from the fringes of the solar system. Humanity powers up its best Petrovascope and performs a sweep. It’s confirmed—a small blip, getting brighter and brighter.

     

    Or: the first interstellar "got home safe" text.

    Summary

    "Photon sensing is short-range for navigation? How far Grace see?"

    Grace's brows furrowed as he contemplated.

    "In here? To the wall—about six meters. But outside, or looking out into space? I can see things that are kilometers away. If it's a star, I can see it from light-years away."

    All three Eridians clicked in surprise, the third Eridian—Grace nicknamed them 'Mendel'—wobbling on their stool in surprise.

    "Light-years?!" Rocky chirped, melody rising. "You lie! Explain!"

    OR

    Grace explains what light and colors are.
