    Summary

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    “But you have plenty of experience in front of a camera already, and… Colt, you’re his twin. You knew him in a way no one else ever could."

    or

    Colt is asked to star as legendary astronaut Ryland Grace in a biopic about him.

    Summary

    He’d been so used to seeing his own face on someone else that he’d never considered the possibility of only seeing it in pictures and the mirror.

    Ryland’s statue doesn’t age. It hasn’t wrinkled like Colt has. It looks relaxed, content, but human. It sits with one leg tucked up against its chest, leaning back against the statue of Rocky. Its chin is tilted down, not up. It makes direct eye contact with the person sitting on the bench in front of it.

    Ryland makes direct eye contact with Colt, and looks exactly the same as the last time he saw him.

    Summary

    The people of Erid understand discoveries and science can take time, but there is only so much hope they can grasp onto after so many years. There are only so many prayers to be said and only so many scenarios that can be dreamed.

    They are expecting a dejected crew -if anyone returns at all, not an alien ship and an even more alien person, supported by the only Eridian survivor, an antisocial engineer who knows nothing but facts and how to make anything he wants tick.

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.

    But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.

    They just need to make the alien fall in love with Rocky.

    Eva Stratt had hoped that the ultimate success of Project Hail Mary would absolve her of her sins. Instead, she ritualistically sits amidst the museum exhibit dedicated to Grace's sacrifice during the day and gazes up at 40 Eridani with her failing eyes at night, forever trapped in wondering if he was able to save them, too.

    Summary

    The deaf spot of all Eridians is silent, open air. A piece of the crumbling biodome’s ceiling finally snaps from its connection point and plummets. It falls towards the abandoned shore, unapologetic to anyone who may already be down there.

    Rocky can’t realize something’s quickly approaching them until it’s far too late.

    ~~~~

    Set hundreds of years after the end of the book, a case of wrong-place/wrong-time leads Rocky to a catch a glimpse of what and who might be waiting for them beyond.

    "He had a lot to say on that subject, actually. We had to add 'reckless', 'idiot', 'foolish', and 'irresponsible' to our shared vocabulary just so he could fully express his opinion on the matter. There was another word he threw around a lot, but he declined to tell me what it meant."

    How exactly did that scene in the book that Grace references happening but never actually show us, play out?

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.
