    Summary

    With Simon, his issues are clear. he doesn't care to hide them, nor is he good at it. It always blows up.

    With Ryland... It's harder to tell. Simon knows he's been hurt, but not the extent of it. He's also rather upset that it takes a fever nearly boiling Ryland's brain for any of it to properly come to light.

    Summary

    On the way to Erid, the Hail Mary detects an unnamed planet, one that is drowning in an ocean of blood. At first, it seems like the kind of thing both would want to avoid at all costs.

    But Rocky can hear a heartbeat.

    Summary

    As Rocky and Grace head towards Erid, a transmission comes through over the ship's comms.

    A human voice.

    After (rightfully) freaking out, Rocky and Grace have a new friend to rescue. Will they make it in time? And if they do, what will it be like to have another human aboard?

    Summary

    "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

    "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

    Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

    Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

    "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

    "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

    Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

    ***

    Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

    Summary

    The figure swayed as they brought a hand up and dragged it down their face, clearing away a portion of the blood. The person opened their eyes and started to look around the room, and put their hand against the chair to steady themselves.

    Gone was the extra mouth and all its teeth, gone were the fins and gills. Under the blood, it looked as though the person was wearing clothes and sturdy boots.

    The person looked human. Grace could see glimpses of skin where some of the blood had been wiped away. The red eyes locked onto him.

    Grace squeaked and shuffled back further, “I’m armed!” he said as he held the spray bottle up higher.

    Summary

    A new dawn arises; for thy light has come.

    His mother had always told him to no to stare directly at the sun, in the case of Him so ever mercifully reviving the dead universe, letting light shine upon them once again.

    However now, Simon could not bring himself to avert his gaze from unfocused blue waves, so different from those crimson ones lapping at his sides.

    Summary

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.

    Summary

    "Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen."

    >~~<

    When Grace landed on a random moon in a solar system devoid of stars, he had lost hope. They weren't going to make it back to Erid. He wouldn't be able to get Rocky home.
    But meeting a stranger gives him a new sense of hope.

    Simon had thought he was going to die down in that blood ocean. Perhaps he had.
    He deserved Hell for the life he had lived. So then why did god send an angel?

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    A man wakes up on a boat in a blood ocean. He has no idea who he is, how he got there, what language all these people are speaking. It doesn’t help that there’s something under the ocean— or maybe someone— that’s seemed to take a special interest in making his life miserable.

    Summary

    “What’s wrong with me?” Grace manages, the words squeezed out through the tightness in his throat. “We just got attacked by the people who want both of us locked in a bunker, I nearly crushed everyone by accident, YOU made people BLEED FROM THEIR EYES, it’s finally hit me that I’m never going to get my old life back and now you're offering me a potato chip?”

    Simon just looks at him, holding out the bag of chips in question. “Well do you fucking want one or not?”

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    As Simon felt fingers slip through his own, a golden halo without a face bloomed in front of his eyes. The side of the SM-13 was open, and waiting.

    Summary

    It was hard to gander how long Grace was on Erid when Simon came along. He could try measuring it out using the Earth’s Gregorian calendar like he did on the Hail Mary, but that’s when he still had a “lights out” timer and didn’t live on a planet with a very different yearly calendar. Teaching little eridians has forced him to adapt to their schedule more than his.

    Where was he going with this?

    Right! Simon.

    He still hadn’t met him yet.

     

    Or Rocky and other eridians find a wormhole and then an injured human man! They bring him to Erid and quarantine him to get him nice and healthy, but slowly find out he’s much different than their beloved science teacher.

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.
