    Summary

    Something is wrong.

    Something is going on, I don’t know what it is, and Rocky is absolutely zonked out and can’t even give me ‘words of encouragement’. My hands tighten in my hair as I try to stop their shaking, but the white-knuckled grip is only making it worse.

    I should really, really get some sleep.

    Grace finds out why you shouldn't stay awake for 305,600 seconds.

    Electrical engineering isn't an exact science, right? Oh, wait...

    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.
