    TENSILE TOLERANCE (noun) ˈten-ˌsī(-ə)l ˈtäl-rən(t)s
    1: the maximum acceptable stress that a material can withstand before structural failure or permanent deformation

    The earth ship Hail Mary has at long last reached Eridian orbit, and the planet rallies to bring returning hero, Rocky, and his alien companion Dr. Ryland Grace, safely home to the planet's surface. But, this momentous occasion, which should be marked by great celebration, has turned urgent and grim as Grace's life hangs precariously in the balance and Rocky finds himself unable to readjust to his homeworld, haunted by the prospect that saving the stars does not guarantee a life of peace and safety with the man he loves.
