Summary
“What’s he saying?” Holland asks in the distance.
“He said to turn the TV on,” Jackson tells him, voice a little further, holding the phone away from himself. He sounds close again when he asks Colt, “Why?”
“What channel?” Holland asks.
“What chan—” Jackson starts to relay, before he cuts himself off. “What? Holland, what—”
Colt’s Dad says something indistinguishable, too far away for him to hear. Moments of silence follow where Colt knows they’re watching the same thing he is, seeing his brother’s face— their son’s face— Ryland’s face framed on the television, just above the words Hail Mary, and save our sun, and suicide mission.
or: ryland has been missing for a couple of weeks when colt sees the hail mary launch on tv. the first thing he thinks to do is call his family.

Summary
To Eva, Court asks, “Is there anything else you wanted to tell us?”
Eva meets him head-on. “Ryland was a good man. He will be in good company on the Hail Mary.” There’s an impossible weight to her voice when she adds, “Thank you for him. You should be proud.”
Colt tightens his grip on Holly’s hand, pushes his face into her shoulder. He has no idea what to say to that; it doesn’t sound like anybody does, the silence ringing around them as the words linger so heavily, he thinks he could choke.
or: colt and the rest of ryland's family come together, mourn ryland, and meet with eva stratt to hear about ryland's mission on the hail mary and his last days on earth.

Summary
"Rocky imagined himself sculpting that pliant physique into new, artistic forms. Imagined Grace so supple and yielding that he could be tied up tight with his own stretchy limbs. Tied to his own carapace, where he would be safe."
Grace does yoga in his temporary medical-monitoring dome on Erid. Rocky is... intrigued. Things get steamy, then PTSD-y.

Summary
"But Colt did know Ryland. He knew exactly who Ryland grew up to be. Any emotion that Six may feel regarding Ryland must be amplified tenfold for Colt. He buried his head in his hands, and sighed. What feeling could be worse than this?"
Three years after the Hail Mary's launch, Colt Seavers and Courtland Gentry are taken to Stratt's Vat - there was a problem with the launch. All the test subjects injected with the amnesia drug that Grace was given never regained their memory. Now Grace is alone in space, with no idea why or what to do. Can Colt and Court save Grace, and save Earth, all while dealing with the demons that haunt their past?

Summary
If he had half a mind of self-preservation left, he would have called Ryland, and he knew that Ryland would drive down from San Francisco to San José in a heartbeat. But, like with Jody, he didn’t want to be seen by Ryland.
If it was just himself, he could pretend that anything before the fall was simply some kind of lucid dream. Colt didn’t have to think about the people he was hurting with his radio silence. He didn’t need to consider what it would look like to the people who loved him if he stopped inviting them to watch parties of old action movies, stopped calling randomly during the lunch breaks he tracked diligently in a calendar, stopped leaving the house as much if not just to go to the gym or work or grocery shopping.
---
Ten months after Colt's accident, he found himself struggling to figure out who he was. At the same time, he'd rather eat his own shoe than ask for help. Everybody probably thought he was pathetic enough already, so who cared if he mistreated himself?
(Ryland cared.)

Summary
"I—I promise I don't mean to yell, I just—" Grace tries to swallow the sob that is crawling out of his throat like a centipede, posed to run away at even the slightest touch of a human being. His next exhale is shaky. "I got— I thought you were—"
He covers his face with his hands. Constantly trying to tiptoe around the topic at hand when he desperately does not want to tell Rocky about how he was forced on this mission. How he didn't want to go, how he was willing to die on Earth with the rest of humanity instead of getting on that ship like the damn coward he is.
Doesn't want to tell Rocky what they did to him in order to get him on that spaceship.
Ryland Grace is keeping something from Adrian and Rocky. It's up to them to figure out what's wrong.

Summary
"No," Rocky said later. "Rocky not lie for the history books. If Grace kill self doing stupid shit like this, Rocky make sure everybody Erid know. Rocky build probe to send to Earth to tell all humanity: Dr Grace die from stupid preventable accident. Grace save Earth but turn out too stupid to live. Sad sad sad. Wait, if Grace die like this, Rocky WILL lie and tell everybody he die on toilet like Elvis. Earth will put this on Grace Wikipedia forever, because Grace not around to correct Rocky."
“Okay,” I said. “I think I’m… appropriately embarrassed already.”

Bump: The extra money paid to a performer for doing a dangerous or hard stunt.
---
Colt is supposedly one of the best Captains humanity has left, and he has been place in charge of the Invincible II, a ship carrying a little over 100,000 souls, all waiting for a new home. The problem is, he doesn't remember being this Captain. In fact, he doesn't remember much at all, but the ship's about to leave and he's their best option, even with the amnesia.
He just hopes he's not leaving anything important behind...

Summary
Ryland could hear the cables snapping, he could hear the crash and the cracks and the cries. The very same cables that Rocky would try and fail to use. If Rocky went out on that hull he would die. Grace would follow; he couldn’t live without Rocky. He couldn’t live without ****. He had to keep **** safe. **** couldn’t go, Ryland wouldn’t let him. They had to stick together; bad things happened when they weren’t together. **** had to let him do this. He had to.
“Why won’t you just let me do this for you, COLT?!”
-or-
When Rocky and Grace get into an argument over their upcoming 'fishing trip', Rocky's compromise hits a bit too close to home and sends Grace reeling (no pun intended).

Summary
An incident at Grover Cleveland Middle School changes everything; Colt and Ryland try not to fall apart.
~
Ryland drops the water bottle. It drops to the ground with a disgusting clang. The sound reverberates through his ears, and he flinches. But his brain is spinning spinning spinning, and the man with the gun moves closer. Lunging toward his classroom, Ryland twists the lock from the other side and slams it closed, deserting himself in the hallway.
“Barricade this door now! Use desks. Books. Backpacks. Anything and everything you can find! Do it now!” he shouts. His voice doesn’t betray him this time.
“Mr. Grace! Mr. Grace!” he hears.
Olivia runs to the window, terror wide in her brown eyes. Kids should never have to experience something like this. They're in school. It’s supposed to be safe.
It’s supposed to be safe.
“Get back! Barricade now!” Ryland yells. “You’ll be okay.”

Summary
“A dead man’s switch,” Dani Miranda states candidly. “Fitz set it to fire automatically if he didn't check in for six months. That was six months ago. We've got nearly three terabytes of top secret records out on the open web.”
Six raises an eyebrow. “I was under the impression that Sierra was a completely undocumented program. No records to leak.”
“The CIA was also under that impression.” She gives him a wry look. “Fitz had other plans.”
---
Colt thinks all the crazy spy stuff in the news is super cool. Ryland mostly thinks it's tragic. Neither of them thinks it has anything to do with them, until the government comes knocking on their doors.
It's finally time for Courtland to come home.
