    Summary

    On board the Hail Mary, Simon finds himself in a prison made of glass, filled with luxuries he could've only ever dreamed of.

    Contamination is a constant threat for Ryland, and though him and Rocky are working on it, it may be a long time before he can hold a human hand again.

    (Or, Simon has to roll around in a hamster ball and it's a 3-way touch-starved standoff)

    Summary

    I fall back down, my head hits the floor. Floor? What am I doing on the floor?

    I look up and see the large yellow sphere again. There’s a red line attached to it. Is it… yeah, that’s my model. I am really on the floor.

    Something tells me I didn’t lie down for fun.

    OR: Ryland's Tuesday is turned upside down when his lesson gets interrupted by a crack in the speakers and a gunshot in the hallway.

    Summary

    ”Have robot arms check you arm before you get Beetles,” Rocky insists. He taps the wall again. ”Been hurting you more since before power outage and arms no change cloth in sleep.”

    “They probably didn’t because of the outage. I’ll have the NannyBot check it before I get ready,” Grace says, absentmindedly rubbing the offending appendage. He’s not exactly surprised that Rocky’s noticed his increased discomfort. He figures it’s because of the lack of painkillers and from spending hours inspecting the fuel lines for Taumoeba contamination, but doesn’t voice it. He knows the Eridian already feels bad about his ammonia burns and pushing him off the pain meds.’

     

    Or: Grace and Rocky run into an unfortunate complication when getting ready to execute their plan to escape planet Adrian.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    While studying the astrophage in the dingy, hollow hangar, Grace coughs. And a cough isn't supposed to trigger a full-scale quarantine, but Stratt disagrees.

    Grace is pretty sure everyone is overreacting. After all, it's a cough. A cold? The sniffles, at worst. It's nothing to freak out about and it surely doesn't warrant this type of shutdown, right?

    He is, unfortunately, wrong about that.
