    Summary

    Rocky is the last of his crew. He’s been the last for twenty-three (Earth) years. Every cycle it gets harder and harder to carry on, especially when he knows he’s the worst person for this impossible job.

    If something doesn’t change, and soon, he’ll be as dead as the crew-mates he cares for cycle, after cycle, after cycle.

    Summary

    Sometimes, when Rocky is sleeping, Grace can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Rocky hadn’t been here. It’s not a fun reality to ponder. While part of him gives a weak assurance that he would have figured something out, he knows that isn’t true. Because Rocky is his reason to figure something out.

    Then his mind flips the script. What if Grace had never shown up? Rocky would have been out here, alone. A single Eridian on a big ship, with no one to watch him sleep.

    And just when he’s about to sooth his mind with the fact that neither of those things came to pass, a new scenario sprouts unbidden from his mind. What if someone else arrives after Rocky and him leave?

    What if they get here, and they’re all alone.

    Summary

    “Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    Phantom groaned dramatically. “I know. I’m an embarrassment.”

    Dani nodded with a serious expression, “Yeah, you are.”

    They were quiet for a few seconds before they both broke out in laughter. Maddie watched the two joyous figures with an increasing sense of dread. They acted just like teenagers, like children.

     

    Maddie and Jack start to notice things in their interactions with Phantom that doesn’t fit in with their exiting theories about ghosts. But they couldn’t be wrong… Could they?
