    Summary

    Ch.10 excerpt:

    "Ryland Grace looked tired, the kind that Simon knew all too well; the kind that spoke of a deep seated desperation to keep moving forward whatever the cost. An exhaustion that hung around for so long that it became natural, eventual. Normal. A second skin one never took off because it was comfortable, because it fit better than anything else, and eventually you began to wonder what life was ever like without it. Had there ever been a life without it?

    “What’s your name?”

    Three words. Simple. One syllable each. An average, everyday question.

    He couldn’t remember when he’d last been asked it."

    -

    Or: It's not enough to want to live. You have to make a choice.

    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.

    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

    They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.

    "Approaching anomaly detected."

    Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.

    Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!

    That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.

    He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.
