    Summary

    "No!- no!- stop-" Ryland squeaks out, watching his legs lifting upwards, he frantically waves his arms around to hold on to something

    his body staggers around the already small ship, hitting the walls as he flails his arms around and kicks his legs

    He grabs onto the pilot chair and clings as hard as he can.

    "Breathe Ry, breathe" he says to himself

    "Remember-" he huffs out "W.W.C.D, What Would Colt Do" he murmurs out, eyes shut

    Ryland breathes in and out, giving him some peace of mind, until his head jerks up and he realizes what he said

    "Who the fudge is Colt?"

     

    And just like that, Colt's heart breaks into a million pieces

     

    Or,

     

    Ryland Grace wakes up 11.3 light years away from earth in a white sterile space ship in the middle of the vast of nowhere with no memories of his life back on Earth, alone.

    If only he knew about the blinking cameras around the ship live streaming everything back to earth.

    Summary

    For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.

    Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.

    Summary

    People have a image of Dr. Ryland Grace. A bit of an oddball, hard working, loves a punny shirt, and is still very much a teacher for all that he's head scientist. Sometimes, however, he does something that is outside expectations. Even the ones he has of himself.

    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.

    Summary

    When Eva Stratt called an unexpected meeting, nobody expected it to be about a message from off-planet, from an alien species who wished to share knowledge.

    Especially when the voice translating the message was Ryland Grace's.
