    Something old,

    something new,

    something borrowed,

    something blue.

    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

    The announcer looked up. “Ms. Stratt, you are late.”
    Sounds of shuffling and squeaking of chairs as everybody turned towards the woman at the back of the room.
    “Yes,” she said simply, walking steadily in a straight line towards the podium. “I am.”

    In an emergency meeting shortly before the landing of the ArcLight probe, the world elects its new leader.
