   Summary

   The beast appeared seventeen days before the man.

   The man, or maybe we shouldn’t call him a man quite yet, appeared late at night.

   -- OR --

   Grace is living a quiet, if boring, life on Erid when someone - or something - mysteriously appears in the biodome's ocean.

   Simon claws his way back to personhood.
