    Summary

    Ch.9 excerpt:

    “We are the same. Can’t you see that? How can you do this? How can you do this to me? Am I not enough like you?” He yelped.

    Mud distorted his vision, muffled his hearing, filling it with a rushing and bubbling that swallowed up the sound of his own voice, made his screams no more than a whisper. A cry as pathetic as it was stating the obvious.

    “You’re murdering me!”

    -

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    Simon has spent the last two years working for the COI to obtain a clean record after his participation in the destruction of Filament Station. When he's left on a drifter colony with a scrubbed identity and a tablet, Simon looks into ways to disappear from both the COI's gaze as well as Eden's, which leads him down what is perhaps the strangest avenue he's ever undertaken: a marriage visa.

    Dr. Ryland Grace may or may not know that his friend Rocky has put a marriage profile up whatsoever. Simon is lonely and Rocky is persistent. This may or may not be the worst idea in the history of the universe.

    (or Rocky uses a mail-order-bride broker to find Grace the Best Mate Ever and gets Simon)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace survived the Hail Mary mission. Simon survived the Iron Lung. Neither of them are particularly happy about it.

    When Rocky and Adrian discover an artificial signal that has been broadcasting for fourteen years, Ryland makes the one mistake he swore he never would again: he goes back to space.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, the signal belongs to a deeply traumatized ex-convict.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt knew that the Hail Mary's mission would be tough. Human psyches are so very fragile, and emotions can make people act erratically.
    That was why she chose a fourth member of the Hail Mary crew. Someone who could make difficult decisions.

    Enter: Simon.

    Summary

    “I-I’m sorry…I ne….” He frog-blinked a few times, his grip on the scalpel loosening briefly, then tightening again.

    “ I nee…d…to go h-h-ome…” The man leaned in closer, and Simon almost couldn’t handle those eyes. “I donn’t wanna hurt… youuuoo but I’m sorry I…need to find…” His balance was off, as if he didn’t notice that he was missing a leg.

    Simon swallowed. “...Your arm is bleeding.”

    (Or: Simon and Adrian find a bloodied and traumatized molecular biologist floating in deep space.)
    (The hard part is over, now it's time to heal.)
