    Summary

    “You sleep, I’ll watch.” 

    We both know that they are not going to sleep. We both know that the moment they go still, they will be dead. And I will be alone. But I won’t say that, and they won’t say that, even if it’s the truth. 

    “You…save Erid,” they say. 

    Not a question. 

    I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope. 

    Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.  

    I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. “You sleep, I will watch,” I tell them again. 

    And they go to sleep. 

    And they never wake up again. 

    Rocky loses everyone on his crew.

    Years later, he meets an alien.

    Summary

    I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.  

    Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.

    Summary

    I don’t think the mission was a failure. I don’t think Rocky’s dead — I can’t bring myself to believe that. They’re alive. Oh, Universe. Please say Rocky’s alive.

    It’s been just over 600 (eridian) years since Rocky left. The crew was assumed dead long ago; the mission, declared a failure. But when a dim light reads on the petrovascopes, it’s all Adrian can do not to cry out in joy. The whole planet is carapace-deep in celebration…until they realise that — oh, goodness — that’s not the original ship; and they get word that everything has gone so, so terribly wrong.

    Summary

    Grace’s first days on Erid are not easy. In fact, he’s so sick and wounded from starvation, scurvy, and an almost-crash that he barely remembers it. What he does remember is the betrayal and pain that he experienced on Earth.

    Lucky for him, his best friend left him in good hands. Now if he could only figure out who that is and if he’s safe with them.
