    Summary

    Dr. Herrick is chatting up Grace in the corner. Or at least, he’s trying to. Grace is mostly avoiding eye contact, glancing across the room every few seconds towards particularly lively conversations, or looking down at his pack of sour skittles.

    Usually, Stratt doesn’t spend much time down here in the bar with the rest of the crew—she’s busy, and she doesn’t particularly wish to soften her reputation. But she has mindless emails to answer tonight, and anyway, she’s been wanting to see how Grace interacts with the others. She’s been curious.

    ~~~

    Stratt witnesses one of her crew corner Grace in a dark hallway. She intervenes.

    Summary

    “The man is a pariah in his field. If you’d read his post-doctoral thesis,” Vale chuckles and shakes his head. “He’s not what I’d call ‘leadership material,’ in any case.”
    “Dr. Grace is very well respected on this ship, Friedrich,” Dr. Cohen says with a hint of reproach. “While you’re here, perhaps it is best not to say such things in polite company.”
    Vale rolls his eyes, but lets the subject drop with a muttered, “Really, what could Grace do to me?”
    The astrophysics team experiences a collective realization: Friedrich Vale might be a complete idiot, actually.
    -
    Or, Friedrich Vale is the newest scientist on Stratt's Vat. Friedrich Vale, for whatever reason, does not like Dr. Ryland Grace. Friedrich Vale is about to have a VERY bad time.
    Featuring the crew of Stratt's Vat being totally prepared to throw a bitch overboard if they so much as give Dr. Grace a dirty look, because he's too nice to do it himself.

    Ryland Grace is sleep deprived and oblivious that anything he's saying has any sexual connotations at all. Everyone else is trying not to lose it.

    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.

    Summary

    Fact 1 everyone on the carrier knows? that Ryland Grace does not 'do' relationships of the romantic or sexual variety (well, everyone except Lokken, but she's deluding herself a little bit).
    Fact 2 that everyone on the carrier knows? Eva Stratt is also yearning for her first officer, she's just a lot better at hiding it.
    Fact 3 that NO ONE on the carrier knows? They're all idiots. Except Yao. He totally saw this coming.

    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."

    They didn’t make a real baby—they can’t make a real baby, obviously; neither of them has the necessary equipment for that—but… Wow, Carl really wishes now that Grace hadn’t said that. It’s forced him to have thoughts that he should not be having... about him and Grace actually… making a baby. What the fuck.

    Summary


    She reaches down and tangles her fingers into his hair and firmly, but not painfully, tugs. Grace huffs something out, shallow in his throat, a bit like a whine, and instinctively shivers.

    The pressure toes the thin line between a grounding weight and a sharp point of pain and discomfort. It is, he realizes, the first time Stratt has touched him in a while… and so firm, is the thing; it is not a passing nudge or pull in any direction, but heavy and undeniable.

    Without the energy for arrogance, or to make some corny half-baked joke, he doesn’t fight her. He lets his forehead sink until it rests against the dark fabric of her trousers, just above her knee. The world stops spinning quite so fast when he has something solid to lean against.

    “If you hyperventilate, you’re useless to me. And if you’re useless to me, you’re useless to them."

    Or: Post-nut clarity Grace has a flashback of him and Stratt, and he and Rocky attempt to discuss whatever the hell they are now.

    Summary

    He shuddered when Grace's fingers tapped the glass panes of xenonite that separated them one afternoon, or as afternoon as their journey home would ever allow. His tone was playful, and Rocky braced himself from where he was meshing two panes of xenonite together. They really did have more important things to focus on. “Hypothetical: When we get back to Erid-”

    “If Grace and Rocky ever get back to Erid-”

    “-you’re saying I’m basically gonna be a walking porno for your race?”

    Rocky placed down his soldering iron. “Doesn't Grace have taumoeba tanks to check temperatures for?”

    "Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.

    And there was a needle coming towards me.

    Wait."
    ...

    Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace went into a coma 10 days before the Hail Mary launched, and his crew were put into their own comas. Turns out there's a ten-day difference in wake-up time, too; and, unfortunately for Ilyukhina and Yao, ten days is enough time to make first contact.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"
