   Summary

   What if Grace never needed to turn around to go save Rocky, and he spent five years in total isolation going back to Earth on his own… Isolation can do very bad things to the mind. Like, convincing yourself that deleting all the video logs you've collected about the entire mission and an entire newly discovered alien race is a good idea. Hope that doesn't come back to bite him in the ass.
