Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
It's been a full year of living in close quarters on the Hail Mary. Grace was bound to mess up eventually.
If Grace was still on Earth, he would have plenty of options for places to go. A quiet park, maybe a movie theater, a walk on the beach. Something like that. As it is, stuck on the Hail Mary, he just doesn’t have that many options of places to go after a fight with his roommate.

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”
“I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”
“Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”
“Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

Summary
The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

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
“What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.
“Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”
Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.
“Yeah,” Grace breathes.
~~~
On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

Summary
Morbid, that's what this is, and I don't want it to be.
I'll leave this part out of any memoirs, I guess, just mention it in passing. If there is any time to write memoirs: if Rocky gets me to Erid alive, and he and his fellow alien scientists are able to engineer some way to keep me functioning, then I'll jot this all down in their language and mine for posterity's sake. I've gotten used to chronicling. If I could get this story to Earth, everybody would line up in the bookstores to get their hands on it. They might even forgive me my faults. I'd read my book, too, but mostly for Rocky. He's easy to get attached to.
Not feeling like I'll have much time left for my memoirs today, though.I read Project Hail Mary last year but was thinking again about the period of time on the journey back to Erid where Ryland becomes malnourished and seriously ill and I wanted to write a couple scenes about it. Literary references included for my own enjoyment.

Summary
Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.
Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.
“Grace. What are you doing?”
Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.
“‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
The mood in the launch room was dour.
No one expected it to be a true celebration. Not when they were sending three people to their deaths, but they’d intended to open a few bottles in their honor and commiserate about the sadness of the inevitable future and pray for the shimmering hope that now prepared to sail to a far-off solar system.
But that was before DuBois and Shapiro’s deaths.
OR
The Hail Mary is launching with Ryland Grace aboard. The people left behind need to deal with what that means.

Summary
When Ryland Grace returns to Earth, he knew it would be a big deal. He didn't quite expect the whole psychological part of things. As it turns out, there's at least one other person on Earth who can appreciate how much hangs in the balance when everything goes wrong in space.

"What do you think happened, Captain?"
"Don't know. Don't care. Need coffee."
A pause. Then, "Do we wake Grace?"
"No."
"But—"
"No, Ilyukhina."
(Or: Ilyukhina and Yao wake up early due to a malfunction on the Hail Mary. They do what needs to be done—for the dying star they left behind and the only person who can save them all.)
