   Summary

   Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

   All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

   OR

   The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

   Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

   “That’s very strange," He remarked.

   “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

   “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”
