    Summary

    “You wanna.. What?”

    Grace startles at the suggestion. He quickly scans the last paragraph of the biometrics report he was reading, sure he must’ve swapped whatever words Rocky just uttered with some sentence on plant cell bodies. His friend just makes a clicking sound in his throat and leans closer, since Grace is clearly hard of hearing.

    “See Grace’s body, yes,” Rocky spoke with factual precision, like this wasn’t something wild to spring on a guy alone… in his dormitory… on his bed, where the both of them were currently lounging.

    “Rocky want to see how Human body different from Eridani.”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been shunned, shamed, and left behind in the field of molecular biology. Three months after attempting to defend his thesis at the UNESCO conference as a collegiate student, he is left to work alone in a small and cramped laboratory that affords little more than the four walls it sits within. Distancing himself from friends, family, and colleagues, it all quickly changes when he rescues an actual God's-honest-truth alien and brings him home. With the government on the lookout for extraterrestrial beings and one sleeping on his couch who communicates in whistles and half-word screeches, can Ryland Grace figure out what's going on before it's too late?

    Summary

    It's their third trip out since they found the taumoeba.

    The Hail Mary has been upgraded, and now runs with a crew of nine Eridians. Plus the human mascot, Grace.

    It might be his last trip out, but Grace is making the best of it. He's just in the way at that point. His eyesight is no longer needed for the ship to run smoothly, and he could be teaching instead. He's enjoyed the trip. He really has.

    But the last of the new beetles are off, headed to distant star systems. Grace was settled in at the viewport when they found an anomaly.

    That's an odd astrophage signature.

    Summary

    A Eridian scout ship finds an injured human and returns him to Erid. Doctor Ryland Grace is initially excited by the prospect of another human being! But after a catastrophically failed first encounter where Ryland tries to save this newcomer's life as the expense of any trust, they must learn relearn to trust each other.

    ---
    “If you leave,” Ryland pulled himself to his knees, “You’ll die.” He pressed his hands to his knees and stood to his full height.

    He lunged again, driving the stranger’s body into the wall. A pained roar echoed off the walls and threatened to drown out all else. A fist connecting with the side of his head. His vision blackened, vignetted at the edges. Grace screamed an answering roar of his own. Before his legs gave out, he dug in his heels, struggling against the man fighting for his life against him.

    Summary

    The Eridians investigate a signal coming from a small nearby moon. There, they find their own leaky space blob. Meanwhile, in the relative sense, Grace and Rocky set course for Erid.

    Their paths intersect.

    Or

    That time Adrian and Simon spot the xenonite-modified Hail Mary hurtling past 40 Eridani C and assume Rocky has been kidnapped.
