    Summary

    It's been seven months since Grace met up with Rocky and they started their journey back to Erid.
    It's been three months since an unexpected and unexplainable passenger joined the Hail Mary.
    Three months of Grace hoping the only other human he's likely to ever encounter will survive despite having horrific injuries that he reasonably shouldn't be able to. But he'd made it so far, it'd be a shame to give up now, right?
    And just as the man finally wakes up, Grace is left wondering if maybe letting him inside the Hail Mary was a huge mistake.

    Summary

    In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.

    A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.

    He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.

    Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.

    Monkey... something has followed you.

    (Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.

    When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.

    Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.

    Someone gives him Grace.)

    Summary

    Simon is more convinced that this is hell. He will be forced to relive his last moments alive for eternity, his blood wasted to slick the throat of the eel. He will be chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed, chewed, dissolved, discarded, entombed for infinity. He tries to exercise some will in this cycle by falling back into unconsciousness. After all, he figures, if this truly is his punishment, some devil will ensure he’s awake to feel his death.

    It is not a devil who wakes him. His eyes open to see a light lift him from the blood, pull him from the grasping hands of the damned.

    “Angel?”

    The angel does not respond.

    ------------------------

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace encounter some weird blips. They've been watching Scooby-Doo and are getting a bit bored so might as well do some sleuthing of their own, right? Who knows, could be someone else trying to fix the Astrophage problem. And it's on the way! How convenient! They aren't prepared to find another human, who is living a blood soaked submarine. In space.

    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.
