    Summary

    Grace promises Stratt that when he remembers he didn’t volunteer, he’ll sabotage the mission, no matter how much work he’s done to save Earth. On the off chance he isn’t bluffing, Stratt decides to put touch up doses into his food every day.

    This makes his amnesia way, way worse. How do you navigate life on a spaceship, on a suicide mission you don’t know the reason for, when you forget where you are every night?

    Oh, and by the way, there’s an alien upstairs. Don’t worry. He looks like a giant spider, but he’s nice. You call him Rocky.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.

    "Approaching anomaly detected."

    Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.

    Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!

    That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.

    He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.

    Summary

    Mark Watney speaks about how Ryland Grace helped to save his Martian ass, returned to Earth, lived on it (mostly) quietly, and left for Erid without thinking twice, hand in claw with his rock of a friend. All the while he asks himself - has space truly been so horrible?

    Summary

    He must have been on some strong painkillers not to realize as much when he first woke up. His wings close around him protectively, and-

    Wait. Rewind.

    His… wings? He manages to look up to see an enormous wing with pure white feathers edged with black around the tips stretching over his head. The feathers slowly straighten as he attempts to flex it. Huh. Has he always had those?

    (Or: Grace wakes up from his coma with wings. This has some unfortunate implications.)
