    Summary

    There was one universal constant as far as drifting went: twin’s had the best compatibility.

    Ryland? Ryland was not a pilot. He understood the situation, the threat, the stakes, everything that was on the line. But he was not a Jaeger pilot.

    He looked at Colt, he knew Colt wouldn’t ask him directly. And wasn’t that really its own sort of asking?

    Or

    Colt just lost his co-pilot. That didn’t mean the danger stopped.

    Summary

    In hindsight, this whole fiasco could have been avoided if I had run for the water the moment the lights went out. They wouldn’t have been able to reach me there. No way I could have known that at the time, but the thought kept surfacing again and again as I laid in the dark with nothing to do but sweat and think.

    It started about a half hour after class ended for the day.

     

    TLDR: Grace gets kidnapped.

    Summary

    An alien vessel approaches Erid requesting to land. The transmission uses the strangely flattened Eridian voice of a crew member long presumed dead.

    Erid denies the request. The vessel lands anyway.

    (AKA: Rocky and Grace save their stars. It doesn’t stop them from becoming Erid’s most enduring horror story.)

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    (or, snapshots of the fourteen days that Rocky and Grace spent making the chain in orbit around Adrian)

    Summary

    Four years after arriving on Erid, Ryland Grace has built a life. He teaches pebbles, swims in his ocean, arguers with Rocky, and lets Adrian carry him when Erid's gravity gets too heavy. He feels like he is finally home.

    But not everyone on Erid sees him as a person. Some see a miracle. Some see a curiosity. Some see a treasure being kept behind sound dead walls.

    And someone inside Grace's dome has decided Erid deserves more than glimpses.
