    Summary

    There is a void where they could not save the stars. Empty and cold, it lays dormant in its silent death. But some erdians found something impossible: life. Moving, writhing, violent life.

    And they brought it home to Erid. Back to where Grace can learn and observe the impossible alongside his friends and neighbors.

    But what they brought back isn't some mindless creature. It's not just a violent beast. It's human. Undeniably human.

    Summary

    When Simon died on the blood moon, his problems should have been over. When Simon fell into the ocean on Erid, his problems were just beginning.

    Mutated into an aquatic body he doesn't understand, his memories lost behind an endless sea of blood, Simon is drawn to the only other person he sees outside his new home: Ryland Grace.

    Grace is adjusting to life on Erid when his biodome is invaded by an unknown lifeform. A lifetime of curiosity cannot be contained and Grace begins to strike up a friendship with Simon.

    But there's more to Simon than meets the eye, and as the two grow closer, Simon begins to suspect that something else might be using him for its own purposes, endangering not only Grace and Erid, but the entire universe.

    Story inspired by the artwork of mutant merman Simon by torizzzu on Tumblr.

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.

    All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.

    OR

    The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.

    Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.

    “That’s very strange," He remarked.

    “Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.

    “It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

    Summary

    In their new explorations the Eridians find a strange world with a human machine floating on the surface. After bringing it back Ryland discovers English writing and seemingly Earth technology. When they travel to the moon to further investigate they find nothing but a strange tree that attacks them. Inside the tree is a man refusing to give up.

    When they extract Simon from the blood tree he’s disoriented and can’t believe where he is. Another hallucination? When he sees Ryland and Rocky he refuses to believe they’re real- until he sees himself. He’s changed. Half monster, half man.

    But the stations are still floating in space. How did they get here? Why did they travel through space and time? What changed Simon, and is it contained to that moon, or will it spread across the Galaxy? Will Eden allow one of their own to betray them?
