    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

    Summary

    I don't want to die! Don't send me off to die! Please!
    The voice is faint, yet unmistakable. Sam, half asleep in the passenger seat of the Impala, jerks fully awake as a headache lances through his skull.
    "Sammy? You alright?" Dean glances towards him, a flicker of concern evident in his voice.
    "Yeah, I jus-" Carl, I can't do it. No! Don't do it! Ryland... his twin's voice is grating through his brain, dragging pins and needles with it. There's a flash of a yellow raincoat, men in soldier's uniforms, a fence, and his brother face-down in the grass.

    Then it's over.

    "Sammy?"

    "I think Ry's in trouble."
