    Summary

    Ryland Grace has tattoos. Four, to be exact, and Simon assumes they must mean something important—something intentional, cultural, and understood. On Eden, after all, their tattoos always are.

    But Grace’s ink doesn’t behave like symbolism. Instead, they are road maps through his life, a physical manifestation of a messy, painful, and confusing past. And, the more Simon learns about them, the more he realizes they were never meant to be seen as art at all.

    Simon keeps looking anyway.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    The Hail Mary would only give it's crew their methods of execution after the mission had been completed and the Beetles sent to earth. A precaution. Meant to ensure they would die only after the mission was complete.

    The Beetles left for Earth over a year ago. The ship's mission, as defined in it's programming, was completed. I had considering trying to reprogram it for considering the mission done after we had reached Erid, but the risks of breaking something was deemed too high.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace found the gun on the forty-third day.

    He’d been reorganizing the storage bay — not because it needed reorganizing, but because his hands needed something to do and his brain needed something small enough to manage — when his fingers closed around the case at the back of the cabinet. Compact. Heavier than it looked.

    He knew what it was before he opened it.

    Yao’s gun. Captain Yao, who had died in a coma before the Hail Mary reached Tau Ceti, along with Ilyukhina. Who had carried a gun on the mission for reasons Grace understood too well.
