    Summary

    Simon thought he'd died. He remembered releasing that stupid black box, he remembered the blood and pain, he remembered Ellie's teeth cracking down on SM-13.

    Then he woke up, floating in that hateful submarine, in a pool of blood. Intact. Had that all been some terrible nightmare? Had he failed and was now doomed to die slowly in a portion of the ocean of blood?

    Then the speaker that shouldn't be working cracked to life.

    "Hello?"

    --

    Grace was content with how his life was going. Sure, he was light years away from Earth and all the other humans. But he was alive, he had a best friend and a whole planet that cared for his happiness and well-being. He got to teach once more and had a beautiful view that was created just for him.

    But he was lonely. He had Rocky and the other Eridians of course, but he could really do with a cat or something to cuddle and love. Not that anything like that was going to happen -

    Wait, why was the ocean bubbling? Was that a voice? Light? What was happening?!

    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

    Carl asks, “Coffee, ma’am?” and she shakes her head.

    His eyebrows arch comically high and he scoffs, “What, are you pregnant?”

    She doesn’t deny it fast enough, and Carl’s eyes go wide, a foghorn loud, “Stratt-”

    And then he asks, “It’s his, right?” Swallows and unnecessarily adds, “Grace’s?”
