    Summary

    After Earth fixes the Sun, they send a manned mission to Erid to say hello. The crew doesn't expect to find Ryland Grace still alive and kicking - least of all Dr. Olivia Nelson, who just so happens to be one of his final students on Earth. Olivia, who was just expecting to do some cool extraterrestrial science, now has to reorient her life around that fact.

    Or: a story about a teacher and the student who followed his comet's trail into the stars.

    Summary

    Everyone knew him as one of the brave and incredible astronauts from Project Hail Mary. The lead scientist of the mission where he discovered Astrophage, delivered Taumoeba, saved stars, and befriended aliens. Dr. Captain Ryland Grace, he called himself in his last video message to Earth.

    Olivia knew him simply as Mr. Grace first.

    Or, after the beetles make their way back to Earth, Olivia is quick to jump on the first ever mission to Erid to meet their interstellar neighbors. After all, if her middle school teacher could take a trip to space, why couldn't she?

    And maybe, she might understand what it was that made him leave without so much as a goodbye to her and his other students.

    Summary

    “It’s only to Threeworld and back,” Grace says.

    It’s only to Threeworld and back. It’s only to Threeworld now, with the option of more trips in the future if this goes well. It’s only to get him off Erid. It’s only to take the stress off his creaking joints and compressing spine and struggling heart. It’s only to save his life, to give him decades instead of just years.

    “...I can’t go with,” Rocky says slowly, every note wavering in the closest an Eridian can get to their voice cracking with emotion. Grace puts an arm out instantly and Rocky crowds in against him, uncomfortable heat bleeding through xenonite’s harsh edges.

    (grace goes on a road trip. adrian tags along.)

    Summary

    Somewhere in what I’m pretty sure is my mid-fifties, an extra-eridian spacecraft screams into orbit around Erid. And I do mean screams.

    Summary

    ”Means holy, like something special. To be worshipped.” They explain.

    Oh.

    Oh shoot, wait.

    -_—_

    Something to be worshipped.

    I scoff at myself, gathering my stuff and heading up to my house.

    Imagine.
