    Eva Stratt liked outliers. She always had.

    So it was a bit of a disappointment to find that face to face Dr Ryland Grace was actually very milquetoast.

    Summary

    “You can't be serious?” Carl asks. 

    “I don't do jokes. And someone has to keep an eye on him.”

    He groans and runs a hand over his face.

    “But why me?” It won't only be him, he knows. He'll have his team with him, a few trusted agents who he has worked with for years (and who are currently sneakily accepting chocolate covered peanuts from the teacher.)

    But this still feels like a personal blow somehow. Did he do something wrong? Is this what he has been reduced to? A glorified babysitter for a scatterbrained teacher? 

    There is that half smirk on her face, the one that either enamors you or makes you shit your pants, depending on whether or not you are on her good side. 

    “You told him your name.” Her answer throws him and she can tell. He opens his mouth but she carries on. “Your real name.”

    ***********

    Carl is less than thrilled when he gets reassigned to babysit a teacher playing around with three dots in a glorified warehouse.
    But at least this job should be rather uneventful.

    Boring even.

    Summary

    “Carl and I made a baby,” Grace says into the phone, his fingers clasped around a petri dish. He rotates it admiringly, and Carl watches from the other side of a plexiglas panel. 

    Carl and I made a baby.

    Carl is vibrating with excitement, partially because this is the first major breakthrough they’ve had since Grace was roped into this mess a couple weeks back, and partially because there’s a specific kind of intimacy in hearing his name in Grace’s voice and watching his mouth move around the syllable.

    Grace had said to him, not that much earlier, we’re fathers, and beamed at him with honest, unadulterated pride. And Carl had beamed back, because when you’re a multi-use security guard in charge of a disgraced molecular biologist, it’s not hard to get excited over these kinds of discoveries. They had shared in that pride, and truthfully, it had been innocent on Carl’s behalf until that phone call.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.
