    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."
    ✩✩✩✩
    Or, Rocky offers to travel back to Earth with Grace. Featuring best mate Adrian

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Rocky has called Grace stupid hundreds of times, but now that they're no longer in crisis mode, Rocky's beginning to suspect that stupid isn't the right word.

    Or: words have connotations, and Grace needs to be a teacher outside of his usual subject.

    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    “Hey Hermes!” The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. “We’ve sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know—” Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. “—That thanks to some…strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders’ recommendation, we’ve started releasing Watney’s Mars logs to the public.”

    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

    Grace promises Stratt that when he remembers he didn’t volunteer, he’ll sabotage the mission, no matter how much work he’s done to save Earth. On the off chance he isn’t bluffing, Stratt decides to put touch up doses into his food every day.

    This makes his amnesia way, way worse. How do you navigate life on a spaceship, on a suicide mission you don’t know the reason for, when you forget where you are every night?

    Oh, and by the way, there’s an alien upstairs. Don’t worry. He looks like a giant spider, but he’s nice. You call him Rocky.
