    "Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.

    And there was a needle coming towards me.

    Wait."

    Summary

    When Colt was eight years old, he switched places with his brother.

    Not even in the ‘haha, let’s swap places and see if the teacher notices’ way – no, as in they literally swapped places.

    Despite many attempts, they never manage to replicate their newfound superpower – until thirty-four years later.

     

    or; Colt is having an incredibly realistic dream that he’s on the Hail Mary. That, or he might be going crazy.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.
