    Summary

    Seeing it in person makes my throat tighten.

    I’m glad I’m alone. I can’t control the slight tremble in my hand and I’m not sure if it’s fear or grief, but there's something bubbling under my chest.

    Grace died over a decade ago. I killed him. I know that.

    I’ve had 26 years to sit alone in a cell with that. That and every other outcome.

    But for some reason instead of touching the beetle I’m frozen wondering if perhaps Grace had touched it too.

    --

    TLDR: Stratt goes through the logs from the beetles and has to save the world. A bit of a shock to her.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in space... and he's not alone.

    All three members of the Hail Mary wake up en route to the Tau Ceti system. One of them doesn't know who he is. All the answers they need are here for them to find, deep in interstellar space. They just don't know it yet.

    Summary

    In relative terms, the trip from the Tau Ceti system to the 40 Eridani system takes the Hail Mary a little over three Earth years.
    This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.

    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.
