   Summary

   Simon backs up against the wall before ripping the IV from his arm, brandishing the needle in his hand. “Who are you? Where am I? What did you put in me?”

   “My name is Ryland Grace. You’re on a ship called The Hail Mary. We got a distress signal and I found you floating in the blood ocean out there. You were really badly injured so we tried to patch you up.” Ryland takes a step towards him but he presses himself further against the wall, holding the needle out to try and defend himself.

   “How do I know this isn’t all just a hallucination? That you’re not that monster trying to trick me again?”

   OR

   While Grace & Rocky are on their way to Erid, The Mary picks up a distress signal from a nearby moon that’s surrounded by darkness. What Grace doesn’t expect to find is a human-like man named Simon floating in the moon's blood-filled ocean.
