    Summary

    The same as every single loop before, they opened their eyes with a soft gasp and stared up to the night sky. Giant's Deep greeted them, as always, with the pieces of the probe launcher floating in its orbit.

    Summary

    I'm not being fair, it'd be better if I sat down and took a deep breath before...

    "No, it's over for you, Gabbro. Because you can't bother getting up and doing anything at all. Because you're just sitting here on your little island doing nothing while I go through all the most painful experiences you could ever imagine all by myself."

    ... I say something really stupid.

    "Because I have two mass extinctions on my mind day and night, while you're just sitting here twiddling your thumbs."

    Yikes.

    Gabbro takes what you said in, you can tell. It was eerily silent then, cyclones whistling and thunder roaring, sure, but it still felt like it was dead quiet.

    "Hey, you want some sap wine by any chance. I've got some down there somewhere..." they suggest after a while.

    "I hate sap wine." You say in a sort of deadpan voice.

    "Okay, but I don't, so, do you mind?" They stretch their hand out.

    Summary

    Things that stay within a vicinity of a quantum object will turn quantum over a long period of time. What if it's a living being that stayed, or rather a being who has lived?

    Summary

    Someone's gotta be the first person to land on the Interloper, and Feldspar is still missing, so it's the new astronaut! That's them radioing now, probably to say they're fine.

    Summary

    You don't know what it is—a detailed hallucination, a trick of the mind, or one last gift from the Eye of the universe in recognition of your years of steadfast dedication to finding the answer. Infinite life condensed into a moment: twenty-two minutes to save the universe. In the end, you led yourself and everyone you loved to their final resting place. A universe contained within the space of an atom, an explosion as bright as a supernova.

    And then you woke up.

    Summary

    There's only so much you can do to in a 22 minute time loop that ends in the sun going supernova. You've tried a whole lot of what you can do, but at some point, there's a change that needs to happen, and you have to try something new.

    So you can try to fix it, or give up. You're leaning on the former.

    But as you realize, it's a painfully hard job to keep a dying universe from going out completely.

    Summary

    “Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”

    They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.

    You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”

    Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”

    or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

    Summary

    The Hatchling did it. They've explored the solar system, reached the Eye, and completed the legacy of the Nomai. They said goodbye and hello simultaneously. They let go. So why do they wake up staring at Giant's Deep? And why is the Orbital Probe Cannon still intact? Perhaps by exploring the solar system again they can find out exactly what happened when they entered the Eye of the Universe.

    Summary

    The other Hearthian flinches at the sudden contact, but they don't try to pull their arm out of their grasp. Hatchite lets out a long sigh, before turning back to face Hal. "I don't know if I'm okay. I don't know if I'm going to be okay again." They say. It almost sounds like a confession, and it only hammers the question of *what exactly happened to them on that Launch Day flight* further into their brain. They want to ask, they need to, they need to know what happened to their best friend so they can help them through this. But they and everyone else have already asked a million times, and they haven't gotten any closer to understanding what really happened.

    Or

    Hal tries to reconnect with their best friend after something happens on their Launch Day flight.

    Summary

    "There's something down there," you say, as afternoon light catches something metallic in the subterranean caves, something unknown flashes like the sun on the scales of the silver fish that swim in the river outside the crater.

    "Gabbro says that before Slate made the big rockets, they used the geysers to help launch the first ships. We were too little to remember. Lots of the first ships didn't make it. The water came up and just blew them apart."

    "Gabbro says a lot of things. Gabbro says there are trees that move around when you're not looking at them."

    "Gabbro's going to be a real astronaut soon," Hal says, and you can feel their forehead wrinkle in doubt. Gabbro is the best at stories, but they're also the best at tricks and pranks, so it's a tough call which of you is more right.

    You both fall into thoughtful silence, and if you squint against the dark and the deep you can kind of identify the silver something as a fuel canister, or maybe a tin of salted fish. But that might just as well be regular old garbage from when the grown ups stay up too late and drink too much, and not the remains of a broken rocket that couldn't make it into space.

    It's a thought worth thinking about, though.
