    Summary

    Grace, now fluent in written Eridian, decides to go through the gifts left to him by the Eridian public. He discovers that, like humans, Eridians contain multitudes, and are both wholesome, and deeply perverted creatures.

     

    “Hey, Rock, why is there some sort of egg in my mailbox?”

    Summary

    By the time Ryland Graces returns to Earth, he's almost 70 and has spent more time on Erid than his home planet.

    Meanwhile, on Earth, nearly 100 years have passed. A lot can change in a century.


    “It’s um. A religion. A small one! But - yes. There’s a portion of Christians who hold the belief that you are the second coming of God. God the Son.” She pauses. “Jesus,” she clarifies, unhelpfully.

    Summary

    „You know who you are,“ Carl says softly.
    The world fades to black.
    He bolts upright in his cot, gasping for air, the low hum of the Vat vibrating through the metal floorboards.
    Oh, fudge.

    or, the one where Ryland wakes up over and over on the day of the goodbye party on Stratt's Vat, after the launch of the Hail Mary. His friends die, or he dies, and his boss-friend repeatedly sentences him to death. He just wants it to stop.

    Summary

    I very carefully set the gun near the xenonite barrier. “Need a word. Fast moving projectile launcher. This is an object that can make small objects go very fast.”

    Rocky gets close to the barrier and seems to be inspecting it with his sonar. “Unfamiliar with concept. How fast can objects move with launcher, question?”

    “An object is made for the launcher. Cannot be any object. We call objects ‘bullets.’ We call launcher ‘gun.’ It uses gunpowder to make a small explosion, which is powder made from sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal- Carbon. In high oxygen environments this creates a small explosion that propels the bullet forward at 100 meters a second.”

    Rocky scurries back. I would too, but I have the business end facing away from me and the xenonite barrier. “Are objects in this launcher, question?”

    “Yes, I do not know how to take them out.” I point to the end of the gun that houses the bullets. “In Earth’s atmosphere, they would be safe to remove. But in a high oxygen environment like the Hail Mary, I’m afraid of causing a spark that would make the bullets fire anyway.”
