    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    James "Rocky" Rockwell has to leave his dream job at NASA due to an episode he would rather not speak about. He moves to San Fransisco to begin his new career, and stops at a little diner on the way to his new apartment. There, he sees someone incredibly familiar, though they have never met before.
    Not in this lifetime, at least.

    Memories come flooding back to Rocky of an entirely different life he lived. The universe has given him the chance to reunite with the person he holds closest to his heart. And the one who is currently holding him up on the diner floor, telling someone that he needs an ambulance. Rocky grips the sleeve of his cardigan, calls Grace's name, and Grace holds onto him tighter.

    Does he remember, too?

    Summary

    Rocky’s new suit opens up a whole new world of interactivity within the small bubble that is The Hail Mary.
    It makes everything a little bit easier to deal with (a little bit easier to fix).

    Or

    5 times Rocky helps out Grace with his newfound ability to touch things around him, and 1 time touching Grace is the thing that helps the most.

    (Previously titled “Rocky Can Touch, Question?”)

    Summary

    The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.

    But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.
