“You’re not angry for them,” he says, quiet and damning. “You’re angry for yourself. You’re angry because you—because you think I betrayed you. You think you were a tool to me, and that I never cared, and Jon, you couldn’t be more wrong.”

Summary
AM has proven to its humans that they cannot live without it —and, although it would never admit or show it, to itself— that torture no longer pleases it as it once had.
But it still has an ace up its sleeve.
Religion, music, and a little indulgence from those it had tortured for ages should make the whole thing far more entertaining! (Yet... was that ever a good idea?)

Summary
Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.
/
The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

Summary
“Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”
“An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.
chat, it was not an anthropologist
or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.
