    Summary

    There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”

    “Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.

    “No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”

    Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.

    “Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”

    The sea does not respond.

    Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

    Summary

    “Project Explore found human,” Rocky repeats slowly, purposefully in his normal tone.

    There’s a long pause where neither of them speak or move.

    “What?” is clawed from Ryland's throat.

    Summary

    Ava steps into the room as the COI officers spin him back around. In her hands are two things: a cuff and a muzzle.

    “No,” Simon whispers again. There is nowhere to go and yet he still sways backwards.

    “Yes, Convict.”
