    Summary

    "We can start with… introductions? My– my name is–”

    Before he could get his name out, the man suddenly lurched forward with a speed that Grace wouldn't expect from someone just waking up from a three-day coma. A burst of pain exploded from his face as the man's fist collided with it, and his glasses went flying across the room. Rocky screeched in alarm as Grace stumbled back a step in complete shock.

    “H-holy shit–” Grace cursed, hand covering his nose. He could smell blood as something wet dripped down his lips.

    The man was standing now, his eyes crazed and his feet spread apart with his one remaining hand raised in a fist. Grace trembled as Rocky continued to screech in alarm.

    -

    Or:

    Three years into Grace and Rocky's journey to Erid, a man covered in blood appears aboard The Hail Mary in a mysterious explosion of light. They're rightfully terrified of both each other and the situation, and they all work together to find a way to coexist. None of them know how Simon came to be there, but maybe some things happen for a reason.

    Summary

    It's a few more months until they reach Erid when Grace begins to have strange recurring dreams of an island in a sea of blood, with nothing but a single tree standing upon it. As if that wasn't strange enough, a man begins appearing in his dreams, one covered in tree branches and claims to be from Mars.

    But Simon is too real to be nothing more than a figment of his imagination, so he must be someone Grace simply hasn't remembered yet! Once he figures out why he's having these strange dreams, he'll be sure to remember Simon properly, right?

    And what is up with that Blood Eel?!

    Summary

    Grace is listening to what is possibly the weirdest radio station out there. Are there even radio stations in space? There are now, and this one is weird as fudge.

    Or, two guys sharing their near death experiences over the radio. And a very stressed rock.

    Summary

    Trapped in a dying body, Rocky is delighted to realize the alien ship that just showed up has a spare body aboard. Unfortunately, after transferring their consciousness over to the spare, they learn three things.

    First, this “spare body” is the only body on the ship, occupied or otherwise.

    Second, therefore, somehow, the body itself is sapient.

    Third, therefore, Rocky is faced with an impossible dilemma. Keep a sapient being trapped in its own body, or vacate the body, thereby killing themself and dooming all of Erid.

    There really is only one choice.

     

    Grace is being possessed by an alien. Sometimes “generously” allowed to do what he wants, but never allowed to run, he struggles to learn the language of his possessor so he can beg it for release. In the meantime, he’s an emotional mess.

    And if he’s never been possessed before, then why is this feeling of helplessness so familiar?

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”
