   Summary

   A year and a half has passed since Ryland Grace made a home on Erid, and he has no desire to ever return to space. He is perfectly content teaching his pebbles from the comfort of his cove−or is he?

   The knowledge Grace brought with him has helped fuel advancements in Eridian science, and the Eridians have now taken to the stars as humanitarians−or eridainitarians, if you will− helping systems still affected by the astrophage.

   During one such mission, the crew of the Blip-H discovers something that shouldn’t exist: a lone moon that wasn’t there a week ago.

   Its surface is covered in human blood.

   And somewhere on the surface, something is still alive.
