    Summary

    Ryland Grace spent four years at MIT hating Mark Watney with every fiber of his academically exhausted soul.

    Mark was loud, reckless, impossible to ignore, and somehow good at everything without even trying. Grace was neurotic, emotionally repressed, and one failed experiment away from becoming a supervillain. Naturally, they became rivals immediately.

    Then Rebecca — Grace’s girlfriend — got tired of dating a physics paper with anxiety and dumped him for Mark.

    Which only made the hatred worse.

    Six years later, humanity discovers Astrophage, the sun starts dying, and Grace suddenly finds himself recruited into the most important scientific project in human history. During a conversation with coworkers, he casually mentions his old college rival — only to learn Mark Watney was left behind on Mars and is presumed dead.

    Grace reacts to this information… concerningly badly.

    More to come.

    Summary

    “Robot,” Yào calls out. “How long — how long was I asleep?”

    The robot whirrs. “You have been in a medically induced coma for — one hundred — eighty — one — days,” it reports.

    Yào’s not as quick at theoretical maths as Dr. Grace or Ilyukhina, but he’s pretty handy with the normal stuff. One hundred and eighty-one days is … just shy of six months. He runs the numbers again, counts them out slower in his head. It’s the same result.

    It’s not enough time. It’s not nearly enough time. It’s not even enough time to be completely out of their fucking solar system.

    Yào wakes up early.
