    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Ryland has a tattoo. So does Rocky. It's not the same thing, but it also really is.

    Summary

    Sometimes, when you're moving through space with very little to do and a lot of time to do it in, your alien best friend and roommate will ask you to stick your fingers in your mouth, and sometimes you've just got to say yes. Ignoring what they say about curiosity and cats.

    Summary

    Grace reaches out and puts his palm flat against Rocky’s ball, feels the heat that comes up from glass-like wall. His lip quivers, breath unsteady as he sighs out and admits, “I wish I could touch you.”
     

    Loved to the point of invention; Rocky makes his xenonite suit to help Grace.
