    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    “Dr. Grace?” It’s been ages since Carl called me that. I can’t find it in myself to correct him. I hadn’t even heard him knock. “You asked to see me?”

    Is this what being Stratt had felt like, people tiptoeing around you all the time? If only we’d had the time to treat the Astrophage with the same terrified respect. Then I wouldn’t be standing here in this room, space yawning cavernous around us like shoes I can never hope to fill.

    I swallow what feels like a scream. “Come in. Close the door.”
