    Summary

    Indelible; Impossible to erase or forget.

    Doctor Captain Ryland Grace, Saviour of the sun, and thus the earth.

    Selfishly, she was both relieved and disappointed that he had chosen to save the friend he made in space, instead of return to his home.

    Some nights, she would wake in terror at the thought of having to face him after all these years, her mouth full of cotton and her head pounding. The same man that she had sent lightyears away, not a grey hair on his head.

    She had atoned for her crimes, she believed. She would atone for years to come, even after death, and the thought brought her a painful comfort, like a bruise she pressed on. The tattoo that marked her throat would make sure to remind her of her crimes, of her fate as an inevitable scapegoat.

    Yet, she did not think she could ever fully atone in the eyes of Ryland Grace. And she would not blame him. She tells herself she does not need his forgiveness.

    or; Eva Stratt watches the Hail Mary come home as a fugitive that has been 'shunned' from society.

    Summary

    A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.

    OR

    Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.

    Summary

    He steps into the cell, anxious and eager, expecting to spend a few hours talking to her unresponsive form as usual.

    Instead, he meets ice-pale eyes, and Stratt, looking at him and seeing him for the first time in over twenty-six years.

    The only thing Grace can think is, she's here. He's been back on Earth for months, and only now has he finally met her.
