    Summary

    We step out of our solar system and into 40-Eridani's not only seeking only peace and friendship, but to teach if we are called upon, to be forgiven if we are fortunate. We know now that Earth and all its inhabitants are but a small part of this immense universe that surrounds us and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.

    ...

    Or: After receiving the Beatles, Earth sends a message of peace to Erid.

    Summary

    "What that, question?" Rocky asks instead of answering the question. He's got his light gun thingy pointed at the screens.
    "Hm? You know what the stars are, buddy." Grace doesn't think much of it, but Rocky goes quiet.
    "Have not seen like this before."

    Summary

    The hardest part is remembering he loved her.

    That part comes back to Grace very late in the game. He's on his last dregs of peanut butter and he's pretty sure there's only one or two tortillas left when the memory hits him so hard in the chest that it knocks the wind out of his lungs.

    He wheezes. He sits down. He stares at his fingers and wonders if he ever felt the warmth of her hands in them or if he's just forgotten that too.

    [Or: Grace contemplates his relationship with Eva Stratt to Rocky as he runs out of food on the journey to Erid]
