    Summary

    The Hail Mary quilt wasn't Grace's project, and it wasn't ever supposed to be his quilt, either. But when he stumbled on it in the storage cupboard, he found himself weeping into it anyway.

    Summary

    Rocky knew better than to leave Grace and the science thrum unsupervised for very long, but here they are anyway. And by "here" Rocky means "in a saturation chamber trying to bribe Rocky with hugs because they want to try walking around in Eridian air pressure because scientists are reckless and dumb."

    Summary

    During their journey back to Erid, Grace and Rocky find themselves in a starless void. At first they assume there must be a scientific explanation, but when they find a man welded into a submarine they realize things are far worse than they imagined.

    ---

    Grace wakes to the sound of Mary and Rocky talking over each other. Blinking away the haze of sleep, Grace groans as he tries to focus on understanding what the heck is going on. Given Rocky’s voice is both closer and louder, his brain parses what he’s saying first.

    “Grace, what’s that mean, question? What’s going on, question?”

    Ok, not the most helpful. Sitting up, sleep properly leaves Grace’s mind as he listens to the message on the overhead.

    “Forward star detection, lost. Aft star detection, lost. Starboard star detection, lost. Port star detection, lost. Ventral star detection, lost. Dorsal star detection, lost. Autopilot offline.” Mary says, repeating the message.

    The exterior cameras on the Hail Mary use the positions of the stars around it to calculate it’s own position. That’s how the autopilot knows when to make course corrections.
