    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    There are still four viable sperm samples in the Hail Mary’s deep freeze storage. Ryland knows this because he’s asked Mary about it twice since the day Jude was born. Once, when she was barely six months old, which unnerved him so badly that he slammed the laptop shut before Mary could finish telling him about the samples.

    The second time was about five minutes ago, give or take a few seconds.

    Grace really doesn't want to explain what queer identities are to a species that has neither non-reproductive partnered sex nor gender.

    Summary

    Some things are difficult to let go. Despite renouncing violence and embracing a human form, Paracelsus cannot help but see himself as a weapon. It is integral to who he is, even after all the time he's spent away from real battlefields. A.B.A, never having seen him as such a thing, disagrees. This leads to problems. Problems on top of problems - such as how Paracelsus learning to operate a body has impacted the intimate side of their relationship, and caused him a whole host of sensory problems to get used to. For two people who've decided to commit to honest communication and work for their happiness, a solution will surely be found - but is there really something that can fix all of their newfound issues...?

    Summary


    “Think of it in this way: suppose I make two statements. Statement one: “After I die, I shall be reborn as a baby… but I shall forget my former life.” Statement two: “After I die… a baby will be born.” Now, I believe that those two statements are saying exactly the same thing.”

    —Alan Watts
