Summary
Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.
The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.
They found another human inside the vessel.

Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

Summary
Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”
Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”
The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.
Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”
———
Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

Summary
“You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.
“Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”
A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.
But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

Summary
There would be no salvation for him. He was going to die. For one unexpected, peaceful moment, Simon was weightless. Everything fell silent. No more panic, no more pain, no more terror. He didn’t have to fight anymore.
Just as consciousness slipped from his grasp, the sound of static broke the silence. The radio crackled to life.

Summary
The SM-13 bursts under the creature's jaws, the blood and pressure and surprise all punching the air from his lungs. He feels it like an extra limb when the glass casing splits, when the sapling tastes blood — the Last Tree, reborn again at unnatural speed, twisting and curling its ephemeral branches around and around like a cradle, a casket, a chrysalis, a question, and what would the galaxy's savior want? What could one possibly cry for, in these final moments?
He would do it all again, he thinks as the light fades; he would do it a thousand times over, if only he gets to live.

AKA Simon IronLung prays for some saving grace, and the universe takes it a little too seriously.
