    Summary

    “Hey Grace. It’s Carl.”

    This video is grainy. Carl has seen better days. His clothes are slightly wrinkled and there are drooping eye bags sloping through his cheeks.

    “This guilt.. man, it’s killing me. I close my eyes and all I see is your-.” He hesitates, “This was the least I could do.”

    Huh. That was weird.

    Or:
    The one where Grace was never supposed to remember.

    Summary

    “A staggering waste of carbon” is the insult that blacklisted Dr. Grace’s entire career. Worried he may repeat that behavior with other scientists and derail progress on Project Hail Mary, Stratt questions Grace on what caused him to react so harshly.

    She just never expected this traumatic of a reason behind it.

    Summary

    Rocky’s impatient, translated sigh was loud. His echolocation could tell where I was and how long it was taking my part of the installation. He was also moving all over the place, which wasn’t unusual, but at the moment, it felt like too much.

    My lips thinned and I yanked my arm harder than was necessary. “Ow. Yes, okay! I’m getting there, just…oh, no-“

    Seriously? I looked away for two seconds and somehow, my traitorous wrist had actually begun rotating it back the other way.

    “I was almost…oh c’mon! No, Rocky- do not ask, just -just hold your darn horses!”

    ‘Rocky hold what?’

    Ah…shoots and ladders. Me and my dumb dumb mouth.

    Summary

    Before I even begin to relax after learning that I am not currently dying a loud alarm begins to sound and the lights in the room start to flicker on and off. The sudden sound of the alarm is ear-splitting after the complete silence I just had and I let out a garbled noise of pain, not able to make much else noise. I fight to move again, wanting to sit up, wanting to run up to the control room and see what is going on, but my body still refuses to move. All I get is a twitch of my finger. The weight on my chest feels heavier with each second and it feels like I'm wheezing with every breath. What is going on? Are we going to die just because I can't move and Mary decided now was the perfect time to have a problem?

    Or, Grace gets sleep paralysis and worries that something is seriously wrong.
