    Summary

    The deaf spot of all Eridians is silent, open air. A piece of the crumbling biodome’s ceiling finally snaps from its connection point and plummets. It falls towards the abandoned shore, unapologetic to anyone who may already be down there.

    Rocky can’t realize something’s quickly approaching them until it’s far too late.

    ~~~~

    Set hundreds of years after the end of the book, a case of wrong-place/wrong-time leads Rocky to a catch a glimpse of what and who might be waiting for them beyond.

    (Rocky finally gets to see Grace again)

    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    (Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )

    Summary

    “Will you tell me what happened?” Colt asks quietly, studying Ryland’s sleeping face. He wishes he would wake up and just look at him, but— but, until then, he’ll settle for talking to his— to Rocky.

    “Grace come back for Rocky after return plan for Earth,” Rocky says. His translated voice feels like it’s coming from right beside him. “Grace not let Rocky die. Grace give life for Rocky life. Grace…” He makes a soft, sad chime of a sound. “Grace save Rocky. Grace save Erid, Grace brave, brave, brave, statement. Rocky love Grace. Rocky save Grace.”

    “You did that?” Colt asks him, glancing sideways at Rocky. “You gave up everything, you— you gave up going home just to bring him back here?”

    “Grace do same for Rocky.”

    or: Colt's twin brother was taken from him and shot off into space without a chance to say goodbye. Over the years, piece by piece, he gets Ryland back.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary spins with the Blip-A, connected only by a thin xenonite tunnel. Grace sits just feet away from Rocky, yet remains separated by a glassy barrier. He's desperate to communicate. Desperate for a friend. For reasons he can't explain, it seems like Rocky is too. This is the story of how they first learned to talk. Of their first real conversation.

    Summary

    Hours later, Rocky wriggles awake. The pain has eased. His heartbeats have slowed. His cells are still functioning. There is no falling apart. He can hear the scritch-scratch of his five claws on Xenonite. He can hear the machines, humming their false song. He can hear the silent expanse of space. The distant stars. His friends, dead in the hull. And the building feeling, deep in every cell — every fibre of his body — that something is so incredibly wrong.

    Rocky knows this disease. Exhaustion. And all alone in space, there is no cure.

    It is a primal requirement that Eridians sleep only under the trusting gaze of their companions. Rocky spends forty-six years alone in space.
