    Summary

    “When the whole mess with Tom Ryder was done and dusted, and Colt finally got the girl (Jody told him he was on thin ice for calling her that, even if she had a smirk on her face), he finally decided it was time to call his brother back. Reconnect and apologize for being such an asshole.

    Colt was met with his voicemail instead. He called him again and again, heartfelt apologies and teasing inside jokes interspersed his words until Colt filled Ryland's voicemail inbox - and still, no response.

    He knew Ryland could be a pain in the ass when he wanted to be - a certain UNESCO conference in Denmark comes to mind - but this was an extreme, even for him. Even in his throes of self-pity, Ryland didn't miss a day of checking up on him even if Colt left him on read.

    Then news of the Arclight probe returning from the Petrova Line reached his ears, and everything suddenly made sense.”

    -

    Or, when Dr. Ryland Grace vanished into the secrecy of the Petrova Taskforce - soon to be known as “Project Hail Mary”, the world gained a scientist and hero.

    Colt lost his twin brother.

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

    Grace meets Adrian of Erid

    The second time the Nein come to Vurmas, it isn't as friends. Essek seeks refuge with the one person they (hopefully) won't approach.

    That is how it happened. Definitely.

    Summary

    Grace stopped keeping track of some forms of time after arriving on Erid. He knows it has been several years, but it became less important to track the specifics. Because of this, he's forgotten when his birthday is. Rocky is keen on figuring it out.
