Summary
He leans fully back on the hood, breathing in the sharp creosote, just staring up into the endless space, and thinks. The Fermi paradox. The Drake equation. But where is everybody? What tickles Ryland the most about both theories is that the answer could be vastly different simply depending on whether the theorist was an optimist or a pessimist.

Summary
He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.
It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.
But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.
He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.
Everything except him, it seems.
Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

Summary
As the years go by and summers cool and winters become harsher, the name Ryland Grace is lifted up in churches, mosques, shrines, temples, synagogues, and all kinds of congregations around the world, big or small. Prayers for safety, for wisdom, for good health. His likeness is depicted in all manner of iconography – graffiti, prayer cards, murals, statues – the evolution of a clever fox at his side spreading like wildfire, a token of cleverness and ingenuity. His name is in the lisping whisper of a young child saying prayers before bed and in the heart of those who never had much room for faith in anything else before.
Ryland Grace, they say. You have traveled so far, but you still have so long to go and so much to do. Protect us. Save us. May you find both wisdom and discernment. We have faith in you. Remember us. Save us.
Nearly twelve light years from Earth, Ryland Grace wakes up with a jolt on the Hail Mary to his own name echoing in his head.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"
