Summary
“Pilot awake!”
You tear your eyes from the myriad of glass tubing crowding the bunks. That was most definitely not the same automated voice that the computer had spoken with earlier. You turn around, and—
Well. You have no fucking idea what you’re looking at.
Your brain rapidly oscillates between fight or flight, fight or flight, before settling on the third option; freeze and scream. Your already dry and strained vocal cords squeeze and shred in protest, so it comes out less like shriek and more like a raspy whine. Get with the program, larynx!
The creature makes some sort of shrill, musical noise back, waving its appendages at you. Which you can only assume is some sort of offensive posture. Holy shit.
“Not worry! Rocky friend! Grace! Pilot friend awake!” The creature trills.
Hail Mary's commanding officer wakes up two months late.

Summary
Grace swallowed hard beside you, blue eyes ticking nervously over the viewport. “Cloud cover over the Atlantic looks heavier than historical averages,” he murmured absently, voice roughened by recycled air and lack of sleep. “I think. Unless I’m remembering wrong.”
You didn’t answer immediately. The horrible thing was, you couldn’t tell either. Earth’s weather didn’t feel instinctive anymore. Once upon a time you could’ve looked down at this planet and recognized seasonal patterns automatically—storm formations, ocean coloration, atmospheric density—familiarity built from an entire lifetime spent under one sky.
Your chest ached suddenly with the realization. You hadn’t forgotten Earth, but you hadn’t realized until this exact moment that part of you had stopped understanding it as home after it’d sacrificed you to survive.
-or-
Earth survived—barely. 24 years after the launch of the Hail Mary, you and Dr. Ryland Grace return carrying impossible science, unfinished grief, and the lingering afterimage of a world you can never fully explain. Humanity spent decades preparing for the return of data... but never considered survivors.

Summary
When you woke, it wasn’t slow or drifting- it was all at once. There was no gradual return to consciousness, and no drifting up through layers of half-thought and sensation. One moment there was nothing- no time, no body, no awareness, no self- and the next there was everything, immediate and overwhelming as you came to life like a risen corpse, gasping and coughing, with Grace's name on your lips.
-or-
You wake four years after the events on the Vat, far from home- 11.9 light-years away from everything familiar. Dr. Grace is there- you didn’t lose him, not entirely- but when he wakes, it becomes clear that he doesn’t remember you; doesn’t remember what you meant to each other- and the strain of carrying that alone begins to show, even to him.

Summary
“You misunderstand my intentions.” The woman got stiffly to her feet, leaning both thin hands on the table and bringing herself several inches closer to your face. The energy in the room became immediately darker, thicker, and more commanding. It took real effort not to lean back and keep the distance. “I am not here to convince you, or recruit you. I am simply here to retrieve you. The helicopter is waiting up at the main building.”
You opened your mouth to retort, to argue, but one hand raised by the woman had you swallowing any hope of dissent. She leaned back to rap two knuckles against the door, an action that immediately summoned two broad men from the hallway. Though you couldn’t see their expressions, your face paled at the view of their readily-wielded assault rifles and bodygear. The European woman offered only a tight smile in return. “I have the full force of the US army on my side, and we are- well, as you would put it- kidnapping you to save the world."
-or-
You are a research assistant, "hired" towards the end of Project Hail Mary to help Dr. Ryland Grace develop the world's understanding on Astrophage. But why did it have to be... someone like him?

Summary
It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”.
Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship.
Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.
And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace.
**************
You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?
Adrian never stood a chance.
