    Summary

    “Pilot awake!”

    You tear your eyes from the myriad of glass tubing crowding the bunks. That was most definitely not the same automated voice that the computer had spoken with earlier. You turn around, and—

    Well. You have no fucking idea what you’re looking at.

    Your brain rapidly oscillates between fight or flight, fight or flight, before settling on the third option; freeze and scream. Your already dry and strained vocal cords squeeze and shred in protest, so it comes out less like shriek and more like a raspy whine. Get with the program, larynx!

    The creature makes some sort of shrill, musical noise back, waving its appendages at you. Which you can only assume is some sort of offensive posture. Holy shit.

    “Not worry! Rocky friend! Grace! Pilot friend awake!” The creature trills.

    Hail Mary's commanding officer wakes up two months late.

    Summary

    Jesus, my back.

    I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.

    God, I hope he can't. Please God.

    It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.

    "I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.

    I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.

    The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

    Summary

    Ship Engineer ‘Rocky’ of the B.L.I.P.-A knows that he’s going to die in Tau Ceti, he's known since the day that he joined the taskforce as their chief mathematician and engineer. That hasn’t stopped him from holding out all alone in his ailing ship, trying desperately to complete the mission on his own.

    God willing, of course. Earth is doomed if he doesn’t.

    So, when an alien astrophage-powered craft from another star comes into view, his only hope is that this is the Hail Mary that he has been praying for his entire life.

    Summary

    Your body gives out on the mountains – feverish, near frozen, and lost. Days later, you wake in a warm room, wrapped in blankets, tended by gentle hands. They tell you you’re safe now. That fate has led you here.

    The others in the temple of Eternal Paradise are endlessly kind. Grateful to care for you. They speak of salvation, of their divine leader, of a paradise beyond suffering.

    The mountain pass is sealed under snow. Until the spring thaw, there’s no way out. Fortunately, their leader is beautiful, loving, and generous.

    His attention is a gift.

    Right?

    Summary

    It was notoriously hard to gather any sort of information on the Upper Moons. Not that the corps hadn’t tried - teams had been sent out, Hashira deployed. Few came back alive, and none with any information.

    Whispers had been spread, though. Several pointing towards one lead - a cult, out in the mountains, with a founder who hasn't died in over a century and numbers which stay suspiciously low no matter how many people join. Plus the numerous disappearances and carnage clearly left behind by a demon in nearby villages, without any culprit being found.

    A demon's work, clearly. Most likely an Upper Moon.

    Thus, the plan had been born. Infiltrate the cult. Gather intel. Use it to figure out how to slay the suspected Upper Moon successfully.

    And, of course, nothing goes to plan.
