Summary
Clearly, Grace’s refusal to engage with Simon’s outwardly destructive behavior had given Simon an excuse to turn that destructive behavior inwards.
The beam of his flashlight swept across the sandy beach, illuminating the rolling waves. The distant hum of the wave machine combined with the sound of water crashing was just enough of a comfort to make Grace want to close his eyes and go back to sleep right there.
But he couldn’t, not without Simon at his back.
--
For the first time in a while, Grace wakes up alone. Simon is nowhere to be found.
Until Grace does find him...in the ocean, with no pulse.

Summary
Grace set down the bowl he had been mixing things in and walked over to Simon, whose chopped vegetables were coming out in very uneven slices due to a combination of shaking hands and blurry vision.
“Are you feeling alright…?” Grace reached his hand up in an attempt to feel Simon’s forehead.
Simon flinched. Like, full on, jumped backwards and pointed the knife in Grace’s direction. His leg muscles tightened as if he was preparing to run, but whether it was away from or towards Grace, he wasn’t sure.
--
Simon wanted nothing more to prove he could be helpful.
Every step of the way was a battle.

Summary
These had to be humans; had to be, right? It should have excited him, but instead Grace clicked on the radio, intending to send a transmission back to Erid—back to Simon. It wouldn't get there for at least a few days, but the thought of Simon and Adrian not knowing what had happened to them—if something were to happen—made dread swell in his chest.
"This is Doctor Captain Ryland Grace reporting from the Hail Mary. Simon, Adrian—th-there's something out here. Something that shouldn't be out here." He said it all quickly, unable to help the small tremor in his voice. Grace didn’t feel like he had a choice; he had to slow Mary down, or they’d collide with the approaching spacecraft. Besides… maybe they just wanted to talk?
Rocky and Grace are back on the Hail Mary for another trip, this time to deliver some much-needed TLC to other nearby stars. Away from Erid and missing their partners, they stumble across something unprecedented.
To Grace, it's a tantalizing scientific oddity.
To Eden, it's a chance for salvation and revenge, all at once.
And to Simon, it's an impossible decision from his own personal hell.
