Summary
In a world full of advancements and curiosity, who sees it better: The stars or the people?
A group of scientists worked hard to complete a project so beyond them that only telescopes and space probes could see it. It was genius. Reckless. Inevitable. Chèshk should've seen their project turn into a trap. Now it only seems that their old science team remembers that lost media. Only so little of it floats around, all lost with its creator.

Summary
“The reason I’m mad at you for getting hurt is because you don’t see a damn problem with it. You go on call after call with no breaks, and you get increasingly exhausted, and still you give yourself an impossible standard and—” Robert sighs. “Jesus Christ, Coop, you’re…”
Me.
Uncomfortably, deeply, entirely like me.
Or: after pushing herself to the max, Coupé must stay in the infirmary room for the rest of the day. Robert comes to check on her and try to talk some sense into her, tell her to stop treating herself like a goddamn tool. Ironically, this is exactly what Robert needs to learn, too.

Summary
Ten years ago, a boy with amber-brown eyes saves Herm's life.
Now, the same man offers to tie his tie for him, the smile in his eyes exactly the same as it was when he was younger. And when the same man, with the same smile, offers a spot for him on the team...
There's really not much Herm can say about it. He's by no means the most eloquent person in the world, and he's certainly no good at expressing his feelings. But there's one thing he knows for certain.
He's so screwed.
(Alternatively: the waterboy route everyone wanted.)

Summary
Herman is known online in some circles as Mecha-Man’s #1 fan. After Mecha-Man retires, he’s completely devastated until someone dares to ask him why he likes Mecha-Man so much.
Of course, he’d pass away if he knew the person that asked him WAS Mecha-Man. Good thing that the account is anonymous…
