    Summary

    Ryland Grace thought he had already made his impossible choice.

    He stayed on Erid. He taught Eridian children. He grew old under an alien sky.

    Then a ship from Earth arrived, carrying two androids, a buried history, and the question Grace had spent twenty-two years avoiding: what happened to humanity after the Hail Mary?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved the earth about 30 years ago; For him, it's only felt like 8. Time works differently in space, however the loneliness stays the same. Of course he loves the Eridians, though the strangling desire for human connection has only worsened as he’s grown older— and not aged. Erid's keeping its savior alive, and Ryland hates it.

    It manifests into dreams, sick and cruel dreams of a man who could give Ryland everything he ever wanted. As long as the teacher didn’t mind the torment it came with.

    So after eight years, he, Rocky, and Adrian embark on a trip light years away from Erid in the hopes of locating the Pavo Constellation, home to a star system full of iron, worship, and desperation. Perhaps they can revive Pavo’s dwindled stars? Locate the man who lingers just behind Grace’s eyes?

    Pavo and Grace’s home system feel far too similar, but something lurks within the depths of Pavo’s Europa equivalent. Something that seems to be causing all of Ryland’s frenzied dreams. A man and a monster he promises to save.

    Summary

    I don't want to die! Don't send me off to die! Please!
    The voice is faint, yet unmistakable. Sam, half asleep in the passenger seat of the Impala, jerks fully awake as a headache lances through his skull.
    "Sammy? You alright?" Dean glances towards him, a flicker of concern evident in his voice.
    "Yeah, I jus-" Carl, I can't do it. No! Don't do it! Ryland... his twin's voice is grating through his brain, dragging pins and needles with it. There's a flash of a yellow raincoat, men in soldier's uniforms, a fence, and his brother face-down in the grass.

    Then it's over.

    "Sammy?"

    "I think Ry's in trouble."

    Summary

    Simon's last wish as his consciousness faded was for Eden and the consequences of the Quiet Rapture were to have never occured. He's not sure where he'd ended up but it had given him enough time to process some of what the hell just happened.

    Meanwhile, aboard the Hail Mary, Grace and Rocky were parsing out Grace's food problem after a stroke of good luck while digging through storage, when a mysterious Blip appeared on the ship's radar.
