    Summary

    Ryland Grace had been doing quite well, considering the circumstances, but he would really appreciate if his dreams did not start affecting his daily life. Something slithers its way into his dome and makes itself at home, and he cannot tell whether it is a friend or an enemy or if that makes a difference at all.

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    Simon…

    Simon. I'm so sorry, Simon. There are no words that I can find or actions that I could take that could attempt to ease the pain inflicted on you. We were stuck here on this miserable moon together by common enemies. The others that came before you died in vain, but you've freed them—you've freed me—from that iron prison in exchange for your life.

    I can only grant you one wish in return; the one thing you were so desperate for that you sacrificed yourself. Be at ease, I will keep you safe until your wish can be fulfilled.

    Thank you, Simon.


    Simon gets a second chance, Grace gets a second companion.

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.
