   Summary

   Where the Hail Mary survives a trip through a black-hole-that's-not-really-a-black-hole on their journey to Erid, and our favorite teacher-alien duo discover a new Blip-A.

   An abandoned and fully-functional space station floats just outside the atmosphere of a distant celestial body, which seems to be covered in a suspicious red liquid. And if that's not crazy enough, a tree seems to be growing from the depths of that crimson sea, with a barely-breathing human man hooked onto one of its branches.

   It's time for Grace to be brave; after having the pressure of saving the entire world on his shoulders for so long, what was one more life?
