    Summary

    "You," Simon said, his voice flat, "are the most annoying extraction target I have ever handled."
    "I think... I think I just ran a mile in two minutes," Grace choked out, dry-heaving into the gutter.

    Ryland Grace didn't want chrome, he didn't want a street bounty, and he definitely didn't want a hyper-oxygenated synthetic blood agent rewriting his cellular biology at three hundred percent capacity.
    First, he was kidnapped by Maelstrom gangers who tried to auction his biochemistry expertise on the black market. Then, a heavily-chromed mercenary named Simon smashed through the door to retrieve him—only for a stray bullet to shatter an experimental vial of Metaheme directly into Grace's open wound.
    Now, Simon’s fifty-thousand-eddie extraction contract is burned, Grace can run nearly 40mph down a wet Watson sidewalk, and BioTechnica has put a half-million eddie hit on his bone marrow.
    With seventy-two hours before the volatile Metaheme explodes his heart, Grace and a local ripperdoc figure out how to synthesize a stabilizing agent from scratch. All they need is a lab, a few stolen industrial precursors, and a terrifying merc who refuses to let a civilian become corporate scrap.

    Summary

    Simon may have lost most of his humanity to the blood, but he wasn't going to lie down and wait for his demise.

    He would fix things, he would redeem himself of his sins and, most importantly: He would be on his best behaviour until possibly-a-COI-scientist Ryland Grace and his totally-not-another-murderous-alien Rocky help him get out of AT-5.

    Don't mind his lack of legs and excess of scales and fins, that's a problem for another day. Also don't mind the fangs peeking out of his face and his claws. He's 100% safe to board the Hail Mary, trust. :)

    Summary

    “Dr. Stratt, remind me again why I need a bodyguard?” Grace asked as they speedwalked across the hall of the aircraft carrier. He had been working with her on the astrophage situation for a few months at this point, and although most agreed he was doing the best thing for humanity, you know, saving the Sun and stuff, others…didn’t, to say the least.

    AKA: Simon gets hired as Grace's main security/bodyguard and they fall in love along the way :)
