   Summary

   It should be impossible - having dreams about another person’s life. And yet, Grace kept dreaming about Simon. His life on Mars. The expedition. Horrible flashes of Eden. Impossible, much like the sudden appearance of Sanguis. Like the strange flash of light he saw through images on the terminal.
   Simon made it out. Something saved him. It brought him to a friendly alien and a kindhearted man who gave him more compassion than he had known in decades. He didn’t deserve it. They thought he was a botanist, someone who nurtured plants instead of dismembering corpses to feed to the soil.
   Rocky wants the new human to get along with Grace. He’s scared and sad, but he seems nice enough. In a way, Grace and Simon remind him of himself and Adrian - like they were destined to meet.
   They're almost home.
