    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    As strange feelings begin to surface and the line between fantasy and reality starts to blur, two worlds find themselves drawn together by something neither can explain.

    One is searching for purpose.

    The other is searching for connection.

    And somewhere between plastic perfection and the real world, two men are about to discover that being seen for who you are can change everything.

    “You think someone out there needs… me?”

    Summary

    Stratt tasks Dr. Grace with studying Ken, a manufactured plastic life form, after the drama of the Hail Mary's launch.

    ***

    Stratt follows my gaze. "Dr. Grace, this is Ken. Ken, this is Dr. Grace. He will be working with you for the foreseeable future. Please remove your sunglasses."

    "Ken" raises his head but doesn't rise from his slouch. He lazily removes the chunky shades and tosses them away with a grin. He has a smaller pair underneath.

    "Remove *all* your sunglasses," Stratt barks.

    Ken scowls and takes off the remaining pair. I stagger backward in shock. "He's…it's…me!" Ken looks just like me—that is, if I'd spent all summer tanning at the beach and had my minimal fashion sense surgically removed.
