    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a normal day on the Vat.

    But then Stratt entered his lab with proof that sentient aliens existed, and were trying to communicate with humans.

    Oh, and they specifically wanted to speak with him.

    He needed more candy if he was going to make it through this.

    Rocky remembers meeting a leaky space blob who helped save the stars. Said space blob does not remember him. For now. Rocky will fix.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    Voidwater, Nevada. 1873.
    U.S. Marshal John Walker arrives in a frontier mining town to investigate five disappearances and a dead sheriff. What he finds is a company that won't answer questions, a darkness in the mine that doesn't behave like darkness should, and Bob Reynolds, a stable worker with shadows that move wrong near to him and also the most handsome man that John had ever seen.
    The town calls Bob "the Sentry". John calls him beautiful, calls him Bobby in the dark above the stables, and doesn't ask about the things he sees that don't make sense until the night something comes out of the mine and Bob stops pretending to be just a stable boy.
    There's an old darkness beneath the mountain. The O.X.E. Mining Company is drilling toward it anyway, and John Walker has a choice to make about what matters more.
    Some doors shouldn't be opened. Some thresholds are better left alone. And some people are worth staying for, even when staying means watching the world end or standing beside the one thing keeping it from ending.
