    Summary

    They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.

    "Approaching anomaly detected."

    Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.

    Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!

    That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.

    He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.

    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

    Word has spread through the camp, and the survivors have begun to stagger out of the barracks, needing to see it with their own eyes. No one has come out of this room, though, and Paddy does not understand why until he walks in and sees the colour of the inverted triangles sewn across their chests.

     

    In 1945, Paddy Mayne is involved in the Allied liberation of Bergen-Belsen.

    Summary

    David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.

    "You're alive," David manages.

    "So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."

    OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.
