    Summary

    Within Eridian clusters, it is very normal to mate with fellow members. Some mate bonds are primary, like my relationship with Rocky and Adrian. But others are secondary, taking on a more platonic shape. Eridians don't experience shame when it comes to sexual relationships between cluster mates. To them, sex fulfills a biological need, as eating does for me. It's not taboo to mate with multiple partners; in fact, it's encouraged for producing the most viable offspring. The more variation among worker cell DNA in the fusion process, the better.

    That's where we are now. Multiple mates. Multiple clutches. All inside me.

    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

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.

    But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.

    Summary

    Grace has made recordings to send back to Earth about the Taumoeba solution. -– said I should do the same to help everyone understand what happened.
    There will be questions. It would help if those questions were answered before we arrive. And it would help to get the solution to Erid before we arrive so scientists can begin to work on solving problem as soon as possible.
    Problem of Taumoeba and… and problem of Grace.
