    Summary

    Instead of being squished between two Men-in-Black like most times before, Grace was in the backseat with Stratt, separated from the rest of the car by a rectangular black glass divider thingy.

    Perhaps she wanted to verify the soundness of his sanity after he rambled about death, the space-time continuum, and put to question the meaning of life? Hm. That was quite possible. Though, it could also be because he hit her with, “Astrophage is mainly water,” afterwards, and then, “I just know,” as the reasoning behind it. But he was just a time-looping scientist, okay? Not some cool agent from a spy movie.

    --
    or: Grace has died and come back quite a few times already, waking up in his classroom every time. Not all of the iterations were spent on Hail Mary, though - sometimes he remained a teacher, sometimes he stayed on Earth. But they all ended in death. Earth was never saved. And so he woke up again.

    Summary

    The Earth's sun is saved, the world is struggling to get back into "normalcy", and the officials behind Project Hail Mary have decided to release a public, 40-page report and edited Hail Mary video logs of Grace's journey.

    Naturally, this takes the internet by storm.

    Summary

    Grace is not crazy. Aliens are real and he can prove it.

    Well, not now. Obviously. But he can prove it later, when aliens begin the end of the world by eating the sun.

    His colleagues could be right; this clairvoyant delusion could be a brain tumor or the slow neutral death of his wasting potential. He rides the mundanity that is life as a middle school teacher, passionately compiling an accurate detail of the future into his indie online novel as he buries the fear of his collapsing sanity in the depths of chapters.

    Until NASA publishes Irina Petrova's discovery of the Petrova line and details the mathematical certainty of Earth's death. The world is plunged into crisis and suddenly, Grace's small slice of internet morphs from a silly little sci-fi novel to a prophetic guideline.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has completed his mission, and is living out his days with Rocky on Erid. They've received reports that Sol has returned to full luminance, so he can rest easy knowing Stratt saved the world after all. He's pretty sure it recovered in Earth's 2053. He goes to bed content.

    He wakes up in an old twin bed in San Francisco, with the awful feeling that he's late for school. Or work. Or both. A glance at his phone is enough to rid him of that particular concern (it's Saturday), and fill him with so many others. Why is it 2019?
