    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.

    ~~~

    Edit: I made some minor continuity and grammar edits on 6/20, this is the final version!

    Summary

    “Dr. Grace.”

    “Stratt.”

    “Why do you call me that?”

    “What? Stratt?”

    “Just Stratt. Not Director Stratt. Not Ms. Stratt. Not…”

    “...Madam Administrator Stratt?”

    “I hope not.”

    Summary

    Okay, so the good news was that I probably wasn’t alone—Stratt had to be around here somewhere.
    The bad news was that I’d definitely been kidnapped.
    Grace and Stratt are kidnapped together by a group of people who want to stop the Hail Mary from launching. They think the best way to make Stratt do what they want is to hurt Grace in front of her.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.

    /

    The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

    Summary

    Grace, sure he hadn’t heard him right, rang an ear out in hopes that Rocky had misspoken. “Come again?”

    “Grace deaf too?” Rocky huffed, then repeated himself. “Rocky say Rocky will explain only if Grace sing for Rocky.”

    Ah. So he hadn’t misheard.

    Or

    Grace should’ve known nothing good would’ve come from blindly agreeing to Rocky’s request.
