    Summary

    There weren't many things that Grace would trade his peaceful life on Erid for.

    Honestly, most aspects of his new life were far better than his old one.

    But sometimes he wished for human company, someone to understand slightly better how he felt.

    So when Adrian's team had discovered a human trapped in a submersible while surveying other planets that might need treatment with the Taumeba, he'd said yes without hesitation to looking after the man.

    Summary

    "...emitting a radio frequency, I tuned into it expecting little more than feedback, maybe due to a magnetic inbalance-”

    “And??”

    Wordlessly, they flick a switch, and the noise is played loud enough for the entire room to hear it. 

    “Please,” a voice sobs, “Please, it hurts- I'm scared, I just- please, I just want to live. Why doesn't anyone else want that? Why can't I- I want to-” it breaks off into more sobbing and the room practically vibrates with tension. 

    “That-! That is the language spoken by Engineer Rocky's Grace! That is HUMAN language!”

    “Yes.”

    “There is a human down there?? That shouldn't be-”

    “But there is. What now?”

    Summary

    An Eridian mining crew find a human welded into a stranded ship on the surface of a moon. They bring him back to Erid, to the only other human they know.

    Something in Grace's chest flickered into life. He had buried it so long ago that he hardly knew what it was anymore, and so he took off his glasses and cleaned them on the edge of his cardigan, as if Rocky's words were a smudge he could clear away before finding the will to hope.

    “Ah…” his words failed halfway out of his mouth. Rocky chittered at him, a little sound of encouragement. “There’s another human? Here. And… alive?”

    Summary

    It’s been a few years since the Hail Mary succeeded, and now Grace and Rocky are on a mission to help the other affected stars that are being eaten by Astrophage. They’ve been traveling around the galaxy, letting taumeoba loose on the infected areas, when they run into a strange solar system. It’s got a planet with a moon that has an ocean full of… blood? And what’s even more strange is what they find on the surface. Or a more fitting description: who they find.

    Summary

    Simon died. Eaten and consumed by the Blood Eel. Not until he wakes up in a place called Erid where sentient rocks live and a guy who can’t seem to wear his glasses the right way.

    OR

    Simon gets thrown into Project Hail Mary because he deserves to be taken care of after the ending in Iron Lung. (basically, in other words. Simon and Grace act stupid, made everyone in Erid their spectators of their stupidity)
