    Summary

    My idea of what Eva Stratt’s reaction might have been to the contents of the beetles

    ———————

    “This is Ryland grace, reporting from the Hail Mary, and I’ve figured out how to save Earth.”

    A hush fell over the room, so utterly complete that Stratt’s pounding heartbeat felt deafening. She inhaled deeply. Exhaled.

    This was it. Everything she had worked towards had culminated into this one, singular moment. She felt nauseous with anticipation for it.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace expected a lot of things to change when he decided to go back to Blip-A and save Rocky, but he had no idea things would get this complicated. Namely, this emotionally involved.
    --
    Ryland Grace will starve on his way to Erid without figuring out a new food source. In this universe, Rocky offers to help create a food Ryland can eat during their journey on the Hail Mary together by hybridizing Ryland's DNA with food from his planet. As a result, Ryland begins taking on... different traits. Traits that make it possible for him and Rocky (and eventually, Adrian) to get closer than any of them ever thought they would be while the three of them start a life together on Erid.
    --
    To simplify, Ryland Grace becomes the mate (and eventual pebble incubator) to Rocky and Adrian.

    Summary

    Grace is dying. He's been dying half this trip. There's no point in ignoring it, though he and Rocky try to anyway. One particularly bad day, he finds he can't shake the thought of Yao's gun, hidden away down in storage and calling to him.

    ---

    "There's a gun on the ship.
    A gun on the ship for one very specific reason. A reason that Grace has spent years running away from, but one that keeps chasing after him. "

    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.
