    Summary

    Popular tales in Eridian folklore include a long, lanky creature that cracks the carapaces of those who enter the ocean.
    So when Erid’s saviour returns in a small, foreign spaceship, missing 23 crewmates, and presenting a creature with an uncanny resemblance to their cautionary tales, Erid is, understandably, horrified.

    Yet at some point, somehow, the creature had found its way into the hearts of Eridians, and the grotesque alien from the unknown of space became a beloved teacher of their most vulnerable.

    Or: Erid learns to love Grace.

    Summary

    Bob is very excited to get out of prison and back to doing science. Too bad his new boss doesn't seem to like him very much (an understatement). Oh, and that everyone on board the boat he now lives on is also ride-or-die (another understatement) for this new boss that very much does not like him.

    Everyone knew him as one of the brave and incredible astronauts from Project Hail Mary. The lead scientist of the mission where he discovered Astrophage, delivered Taumoeba, saved stars, and befriended aliens. Dr. Captain Ryland Grace, he called himself in his last video message to Earth.

    Olivia knew him simply as Mr. Grace first.

    Or, after the beetles make their way back to Earth, Olivia is quick to jump on the first ever mission to Erid to meet their interstellar neighbors. After all, if her middle school teacher could take a trip to space, why couldn't she?

    And maybe, she might understand what it was that made him leave without so much as a goodbye to her and his other students.
