    Summary

    The Nice Guys are handling what should be a low-stakes stalking case. Something to break up the monotony of cheating husbands and missing cats. But Healy is distracted, complacent in the coziness of the March household. March is injured, and increasingly irritated with his partner. They don't realize they're in over their heads, until it's too late.

    “Man,” March was already holding another cigarette, probably his fifth this morning. “She was easy on the eyes. Not that stalking is ever okay...but I’m just saying, if we had to tail her on an investigation, it wouldn’t be a chore.” He blew out the smoke.

    March was such a pig. “You ever hear yourself speak?”

    “Worse, I hear myself think too.”

    Summary

    It was hard to gander how long Grace was on Erid when Simon came along. He could try measuring it out using the Earth’s Gregorian calendar like he did on the Hail Mary, but that’s when he still had a “lights out” timer and didn’t live on a planet with a very different yearly calendar. Teaching little eridians has forced him to adapt to their schedule more than his.

    Where was he going with this?

    Right! Simon.

    He still hadn’t met him yet.

     

    Or Rocky and other eridians find a wormhole and then an injured human man! They bring him to Erid and quarantine him to get him nice and healthy, but slowly find out he’s much different than their beloved science teacher.

    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

    5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.

    Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.

    Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5

    He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.
