    Summary

    It's been a long road to Tau Ceti and the other end of Ryland Grace's Red string of fate. He thought he could be reasonably sure what waited for him at the end of it. However, it seems that the Universe has a few surprises still up Her sleeve.

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    “… I, It Who Weaves the Clouds, Artificer of the noble ship Soars-in-the-Silence, am the only survivor of mission Grasping for Heat. The other members of the crew succumbed to space sickness. I return with their memory.” The silence in the room is heavy. I continue. “I must speak to the organizer of the mission. Alone.”

    Summary

    Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time.

    Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour.

    (Set after 'False Friends'. Can stand alone. Context: Grace has landed on Erid and recovered from most of his hang-ups around that. Oh, and the malnutrition.)

    Summary

         “Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”

     

         “This upsets you.” Rocky observes.

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The first thing he comes to is his “newspaper”. It’s a post with a big square, the size of a wall poster, and it houses all the community news so he can stay up to date. It’s written in raised lettering, in English, because there’s a person in charge of this, this unnecessary but so treasured aspect of his life, that learned to read and write a whole language, just for him. That translates the local news so he can read it and feel like he’s part of everything. They put a seat in front of it, so he could read comfortably on days that the gravity is a little too much for him, but today he feels fine. So he stands in front and catches up on this clusters’ mating and hatching announcements (he likes to make and send silly little cards for these, that apparently are a huge hit, so he jots the names down, copying the accompanying written Eridianese in the little notebook he keeps on him).

    Summary

    After Earth fixes the Sun, they send a manned mission to Erid to say hello. The crew doesn't expect to find Ryland Grace still alive and kicking - least of all Dr. Olivia Nelson, who just so happens to be one of his final students on Earth. Olivia, who was just expecting to do some cool extraterrestrial science, now has to reorient her life around that fact.

    Or: a story about a teacher and the student who followed his comet's trail into the stars.

    No, please, don’t do it, I can’t do it, please.”

    Rocky knew exactly what was going on, and hated hated hated that it had to happen on what had supposed to have been a nice, calm, fun day for both Grace and the kids.


    Grace has a flashback. Luckily he has a wonderful family to help him through it.

    “And who are you with?”

    “The Petrova Taskforce. I believe you know why we exist.”

    “I do know what the Petrova line is,” I agree. “If you’re coming to a middle school science teacher about it, I must be your Hail Mary.”

    Stratt’s face splinters into a small, sharp smile. “Yes. I believe you are.”
