Summary
The camera moves down and zooms in to focus on the helmet, where a small hand is tracing the blue eye-like markings. The camera zooms out a little to reveal that the hand belongs to the cadet in the trooper’s lap.
“And do we know what colour this bucye is?”

Summary
There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”
“Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.
“No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”
Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.
“Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”
The sea does not respond.
Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

Summary
Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.
“Can you…help me with something?”
---
Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

Summary
Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.
He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.
The task proves more complicated than he thought.

Summary
"Motherfucking-" Ava bit back a yell. People were asleep by now. She didn't need to wake them. "If I look at you, will that do something? Will it? Because last time I turned to you, you went back to the corner of my eye."
The shadow didn't respond.
Ava is picked up by the rescue crew, alive and not eaten, when they grab the black-box. She's not alone, though.

Summary
The thing he doesn't want to admit to himself is this: he might have gone through with it – Eden's goals, the change of plans that led to the destruction of Filament Station, all of it – if it weren’t for the way they treated his daemon.
