    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    Simon couldn’t take his eyes off the test in his hands.

    “How did this happen?” Simon whispered purely astonished and confused.

    Adrian sang to Simon in their native tongue. “Must Adrian explain human reproduction to human. Question.” The sarcasm evident in their tone.

    Or

    Ryland accidentally knocks Simon up. Both struggle with limited resources and Simon’s past. Grace’s memories of someone missing in his life haunt him.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    A new dawn arises; for thy light has come.

    His mother had always told him to no to stare directly at the sun, in the case of Him so ever mercifully reviving the dead universe, letting light shine upon them once again.

    However now, Simon could not bring himself to avert his gaze from unfocused blue waves, so different from those crimson ones lapping at his sides.
