  2. Summary

    There’ve recently been new additions to their stock. Statues, if you can believe it. They’re unlike anything Ryuunosuke Akutagawa has ever seen before, lifelike to a creepy degree-to the specific degree of coming alive after touching one of them.

    Summary

    Simon's last wish as his consciousness faded was for Eden and the consequences of the Quiet Rapture were to have never occured. He's not sure where he'd ended up but it had given him enough time to process some of what the hell just happened.

    Meanwhile, aboard the Hail Mary, Grace and Rocky were parsing out Grace's food problem after a stroke of good luck while digging through storage, when a mysterious Blip appeared on the ship's radar.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace figured out he was on a suicide mission and also remembered who he was. Exactly in that order.
    And between trying to save his planet and getting to know his new alien friend, Ryland thought he was kind of on the threshold for crazy stuff happening in his life. But of course the universe has to prove him wrong by sending him an impossible transmission, light years away from the nearest civilization.

     

    Or: Grace picks up Simon like a feral cat and drags him along as he saves his planet. Rocky is not happy about this.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Considering everything that had happened recently, Grace was pretty confident that there was little that could genuinely surprise him anymore.

    In what had felt like a whirlwind, he’d been hand-selected to be the first human to study alien life, even if at that point it was because he had been seen and expendable. His entire life was uprooted shortly after for becoming a little too important in studying said alien life form. Then, waking up several years later and several light-years away from Earth with two corpses who were supposed to be his crewmates. Then, to top it all off, he’d encountered Rocky, a whole new type of intelligent life form who was here at Tau Ceti with the same goal as him. To save their dying stars.

    Yet all that confidence went out to airlock as he stared up at the blinking console, the ship’s monotone alert ringing out. “Radio Transmission in Progress, Accept Transmission? Y/N”

    Summary

    Grace turns his gaze back to the craft in front of him. Now that he takes a closer look, it is a craft, and a shoddily constructed one at that. Even from this far away, he can see patches of metal roughly welded together to create something just this side of airtight.
    At least it used to be. The thing looked like it had been hit by a bulldozer, and then backed over for good measure. There were holes punched into the metal big enough to stick his arm through, the glass on the front was cracked, one tap away from shattering completely, and the whole thing was covered in dents and scratches. He couldn’t even see any way for the thing to propel itself. He leaned in a bit closer to see around the back and … is that a propeller? Like on a-
    “..submarine?” He whispers, almost to himself, trying to process what’s in front of him. Maybe he needs that nap a bit more than he thought.
