    Summary

    They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.

    "Approaching anomaly detected."

    Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.

    Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!

    That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.

    He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.

    Summary

    Mark Watney speaks about how Ryland Grace helped to save his Martian ass, returned to Earth, lived on it (mostly) quietly, and left for Erid without thinking twice, hand in claw with his rock of a friend. All the while he asks himself - has space truly been so horrible?

    Summary

    He must have been on some strong painkillers not to realize as much when he first woke up. His wings close around him protectively, and-

    Wait. Rewind.

    His… wings? He manages to look up to see an enormous wing with pure white feathers edged with black around the tips stretching over his head. The feathers slowly straighten as he attempts to flex it. Huh. Has he always had those?

    (Or: Grace wakes up from his coma with wings. This has some unfortunate implications.)

    Summary

    The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.

    And then it happens again.
