    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Ryland Grace wakes up in space... and he's not alone.

    Summary

    Ship Engineer ‘Rocky’ of the B.L.I.P.-A knows that he’s going to die in Tau Ceti, he's known since the day that he joined the taskforce as their chief mathematician and engineer. That hasn’t stopped him from holding out all alone in his ailing ship, trying desperately to complete the mission on his own.

    God willing, of course. Earth is doomed if he doesn’t.

    So, when an alien astrophage-powered craft from another star comes into view, his only hope is that this is the Hail Mary that he has been praying for his entire life.

    Summary


    “Think of it in this way: suppose I make two statements. Statement one: “After I die, I shall be reborn as a baby… but I shall forget my former life.” Statement two: “After I die… a baby will be born.” Now, I believe that those two statements are saying exactly the same thing.”

    —Alan Watts
