    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    "Don't try to get up," Colt says. His voice is very even. "Stay right there, Ry. Just stay."

    The man between them looks almost bored, which is somehow the worst thing about him. He checks his watch. He looks at the door.

    Come on, Colt thinks. At no one. At the door. At the empty idea of rescue. Come on. Come on.

    He doesn't let himself think the name.

    He thinks it anyway.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    The door opens. 

    Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six. 

    He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.

    OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.

    Summary

    In relative terms, the trip from the Tau Ceti system to the 40 Eridani system takes the Hail Mary a little over three Earth years.
    This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.
