    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."
    ✩✩✩✩
    Or, Rocky offers to travel back to Earth with Grace. Featuring best mate Adrian

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.
