    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    Dearest Marc and Steven,
    This letter better reach you fuckers well. What the hell is up with this sarcophagus shit? While you’re out there gallivanting around and having a heart-to-heart, here I am trying to escape purgatory. I think my nose broke when I was trying to bash my head in. Can one of you bother to come crack me open? If I wasn’t claustrophobic before, I might be now.
    Lots of love, Jake Lockley.
    P.S. Sorry about not preventing us from dying.

    Or: life and its meaning, through the eyes of Jake Lockley.

    Summary

    There is a moment where Jake Lockley reconsiders. Until he doesn't.

    "I sense hesitation in you. It is... unfamiliar to me."

    "Yeah well, I'm just full of surprises, aren't I?" He pulls a pack of cigarettes from the breast pocket of his jacket, takes one out and holds it between his fingers. Considers it for a moment, the bright white between two pillars of black. "Thought that was the point."
