    Summary

    He’s been working very hard on something he refuses to show me, says it’s for my birthday. The first time Rocky said that, even I had forgotten it was coming up to that time in a couple of Earth months. I questioned how he even knew when it was but apparently I leave my calendar open a lot on one of the sixteen laptops the Mary is stocked with. So.

    In any case, birthdays aside, he won’t tell me what the darned thing is!

    On their lengthy trip to Erid, Rocky works on a birthday present for his best friend as Grace continues to grapple with his dwindling food supplies and the heavy burden of his memory loss.

    Summary

    There was nothing, nothing in this whole, entirely vast universe, as perfect as Ryland Grace’s mouth.

    Simon knew himself to be good for close to nothing.
    But one thing he'd always excelled at was the act of worship.
    He’d long said goodbye to purpose as he’d known it.
    If his new direction in life, his singular, daily task was the endless, mindless veneration of his Savior, the adoration of the singular star in his vast, dark sky, he would find comfort in it.
    More than that, he’d find pleasure in it.

    Or about how Simon confesses (sort of) and things take an unexpected turn.

    Summary

    “I’m supposed to be relaxing,” is what I say. Simon’s eyebrows furrow at my words.

    “You don’t seem very relaxed.”

    “Oh yeah? What do I seem like?”

    He hesitates for a few seconds. Something dark flickers in his gaze.

    “You seem wild,” he says quietly.

    ***

    Dr. Ryland Grace is a talented, hardworking scientist—but just like anybody else, he sometimes gets stressed and needs to blow off some steam.
    One day, on the Hail Mary, Simon catches Grace in one of these moments.

    Summary

    Six's mission to kill Sierra Four didn't go very well, nor did the phone call to Fitz after his escort tried to kill him. A man he'd heard of briefly in passing, a man who worked with no rules, said something that made Six freeze.

    “I’m just going to have so much fun with… what’re their names? Colt Seavers and Ryland Grace?”

    Or, what happens when Six's brothers are taken as leverage?
