    Summary

    “Don't die,” Stratt says, still having not broken her stride. “At this point, that would be an inconvenience.”

    As soon as he thinks she's out of earshot, Grace leans in and stage whispers to Carl. “Did you hear?! I got a promotion! I’m an inconvenience!”

    -

    In the lead up to the launch of Earth's last ditch hope of salvation, Eva Stratt makes a few different decisions about what it means to be human in the face of the end of the world. Ryland Grace is just along for the ride, right? There's nothing particularly exceptional about him. Together, they face the challenges and consequences of saving the entire planet.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt liked outliers. She always had.

    So it was a bit of a disappointment to find that face to face Dr Ryland Grace was actually very milquetoast.

    Summary

    “Always think,” Rocky shifted his ball closer, bumping into Grace’s shoulder. Grace bumped it back, lips quirking up. “Think, think, think. Human brain never shut off. What Grace think about, question?”

    Grace went quiet for a moment and looked away. “Uh, my… ‘mate.’ Back on Earth. I remember I had one.”

    A series of happy little squeaks and chirps erupted from Rocky, his claws waving in frantic little jazz hands. He must have been excited to realize Grace had someone waiting for him back at home. Grace still didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, and likely never would. He shakes the thought away and focuses, eyes half-lidded and flickering back toward Rocky. The display pulled a genuine smile from Grace, though he wasn’t sure there was anything happy about the man back on Earth who grabbed him like a dog.
    ________________

    Alternatively, Grace has a flashback and subsequent revelations about himself and the person he was dating back on Earth. It affects him more than he thought it would.

    Summary

    His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.

    He realizes it's just the right size for him.

    ---

    The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.
