    Summary

    Stratt deals in outcomes.

    The equation was simple:

    One man

    for eight billion lives.

    The kind of math that pretends to be brutal but is, in truth, embarrassingly straightforward.

    And so she does not regret.

    Or,

    After 49 years, Dr. Ryland Grace comes back to earth with alien allies and a scarred stranger. (Stratt’s POV)

    Summary

    He was going to die here. He was going to die here and no one else was even going to remember his name. He didn’t even know if the Ava he was talking to was Ava at all, for all he knew he gave his fucking name to the monster outside.

    “My name is Simon.” He whispered, blood sloshing around his ankles. “My name is Simon and I just want to live.”

    He took a deep breath. The black box was affixed to the life jacket, it was already floating in the blood that reached his knees. If he could get the submarine open, it would float to the top and everyone else would have answers.

    “My name is Simon and I just want to live.”

    There was no rescue crew coming. No way to get out. He had one option, and if he was going to die he was going to take that fucking fish out with him

    ~~~

    Where Simon maybe takes out the eel in the blood ocean and ends up on the Hail Mary.

    Summary

    “OH I should probably introduce myself! My name is Ryland Grace, I’m from planet Earth. This is my friend Rocky, he’s from the planet Erid.”

    “Rocky find your garbage ship and save you. Grace there too. No help, just cry over seeing other human.” Rocky’s musical noises filtered through the device, turning out a human voice.

    “Thanks Rock, he definitely needed to know that.” the man, Ryland Grace, replied flatly. He returned his attention to Simon, “Sorry, we’re being so rude! We didn’t even ask you what your name is. What is your name?”

    Summary

    There is an ink-dark scrawl along the back of Martin’s calf that reads:

     You didn’t die here, did you?

    *

    These are the words that change your life.
