Summary
“Do you make your team call you captain?”
When Captain Dogwalker speaks again, their voice is laden with a laugh. Grollis wonders if they were laughing to themself. “I couldn’t get my team to call me captain if I tried,” they say cheerfully. “They call me Qais. You can too. Who am I speaking to, Starship Lift?"
Grollis makes a point of holding down the radio button as ze laughs. “Grollis Zephyr, at your service.”
“Zeph!” Qais exclaims, like they’re long lost best friends or something. “You throw a mean slider.”
(Or: Grollis, Qais, moving on, standing still, and something like love at the end of the world.)

Summary
The third last thing that Hewitt remembers before the vault is dying. The less said about that, the better. The second last is the Hall, which is less clear than they expected. The last thing is the Rising Stars game. Hands on their arms. Shouting and knowing it was too late. Being carried away. Gold pouring into them and gold pouring out of them.
And now here they are. In the vault. The less said about that, the better, too.
(A story about the vault, gold, legacies, cooking, community, Hewitt, Sosa, York, and the things we do for one another.)

“Captain,” says Kofi, who does not like Dagmar but still calls her Captain every time. “Where are we going?”
“Away,” Dagmar says, and it is only because Zenith knows the wood of this ship that it knows she means I don’t know. “Far away.”
Or: the Tigers sail out of Hades.

Summary
Conner's not encouraging. She’s not nurturing or sweet or any of that. The team has the dad-joke thing, grilling out together and all that, but she's under no illusions here. She’s not exactly a parent. Unfortunately, the Steaks might need someone to be a parent, and more unfortunately it’s starting to look like that person is going to be Paula Mason.
Or: Paula's four and a half seasons on the Steaks, as told by Conner Haley.
