    Summary

    Afterward, Olruggio learned he'd been wrong: it didn't change things. Or all that changed was the cadence of his nights—only some of them, but enough to leave him wondering when and if.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    “What Grace see, question?”

    Grace can’t find it in himself to answer, transfixed at the planet. Something beckons him. Maybe it’s his scientific curiosity. Maybe it’s his human urge to look inside Pandora’s Box. But something pulls at him, stronger than either.

    There's someone on that planet.

    Or

    Simon emerges from the Blood Sea, reborn. Grace and Rocky pick up a passenger.

    Summary

    Considering everything that had happened recently, Grace was pretty confident that there was little that could genuinely surprise him anymore.

    In what had felt like a whirlwind, he’d been hand-selected to be the first human to study alien life, even if at that point it was because he had been seen and expendable. His entire life was uprooted shortly after for becoming a little too important in studying said alien life form. Then, waking up several years later and several light-years away from Earth with two corpses who were supposed to be his crewmates. Then, to top it all off, he’d encountered Rocky, a whole new type of intelligent life form who was here at Tau Ceti with the same goal as him. To save their dying stars.

    Yet all that confidence went out to airlock as he stared up at the blinking console, the ship’s monotone alert ringing out. “Radio Transmission in Progress, Accept Transmission? Y/N”

    Summary

    To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.

    Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.
