Summary
21 years after the Beetles make their miraculous return to Earth, another object sails through the vast, star studded seas of darkness.
A message in a bottle set to drift back home, writings from their nearest neighbors and their own furthest-flung star. Containing a scientist’s version of an interstellar postcard, of sorts.
“Hello, Earth. This is Doctor Ryland Grace, doing what is probably the worst form of an anthropology study ever manifested.”

Standard Issue Type-92 Handgun by FallingNarwhals

Summary
I very carefully set the gun near the xenonite barrier. “Need a word. Fast moving projectile launcher. This is an object that can make small objects go very fast.”
Rocky gets close to the barrier and seems to be inspecting it with his sonar. “Unfamiliar with concept. How fast can objects move with launcher, question?”
“An object is made for the launcher. Cannot be any object. We call objects ‘bullets.’ We call launcher ‘gun.’ It uses gunpowder to make a small explosion, which is powder made from sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal- Carbon. In high oxygen environments this creates a small explosion that propels the bullet forward at 100 meters a second.”
Rocky scurries back. I would too, but I have the business end facing away from me and the xenonite barrier. “Are objects in this launcher, question?”
“Yes, I do not know how to take them out.” I point to the end of the gun that houses the bullets. “In Earth’s atmosphere, they would be safe to remove. But in a high oxygen environment like the Hail Mary, I’m afraid of causing a spark that would make the bullets fire anyway.”

Summary
“ I wish I had an older brother or sister.” Complains Mina. “It’s like having a built-in BFF!”
“Really? I always wanted a younger sibling.” Uraraka says. “That way I could teach them things and protect them!”
“You’ll make a great older sister, Ochako-chan!” Hagakure said. “You’re totally the type that would teach them how to tie their shoes and stuff.”
“...Oh my god I just realized how hard it must have been to learn to tie your shoes without visible hands.”

Not all quirks are compatible with each other biologically. The statistic that reflects this fact the most is the birth rate among fifth-generation quirk users.

Mitochondrial Caloric Intake Theory by FallingNarwhals

Summary
“If you had a 450ml water bottle, pure water, and it was room temperature, how much energy would it take to raise the temperature one degree?”
“Oh!” Deku’s eyes lit up. He knew this one from physics class. “It’ll take 4.186 watts!”
“Or one calorie, exactly. So in theory, if you could control the calories your body produced and aim it towards this 450ml bottle of water, one calorie would raise it one degree. If you had a 200 calorie sandwich, you could raise the water 200 degrees before you ran out of energy.”
Deku’s mind connected the dots before the researcher could finish. His eyes widened. “If my caloric intake hasn’t changed since I got my quirk, then the energy isn’t coming from the food I eat. So where is it coming from?”
The researcher grinned. “That’s exactly my research, Hero Deku. Why is there a sudden caloric energy being generated in humans spontaneously without a baseline energy source.”

Summary
“The best place to be is right under your enemy’s nose.”
Yoichi’s eyes hardened. “You really shouldn’t have told me that. If I am a traitor, then I would have just revealed the heart of your organization.”
“We shook the trackers off of you. The one in your hand was deactivated when one of my men zapped you, as you know. The meta-ability based ones can’t track you if your destination is Shojiken’s target. If you leave, you forget the specifics and will only have a vague notion on how to get back.”
Kudou let himself grin, showing all of his teeth.
“And we will never let you leave, anyway.”
Yoichi’s eyes narrowed, and he smiled back with just as many teeth.
“Good. I don’t intend on leaving.”

You could understand their confusion. You were just as lost as they were.
You could understand their actions. You would act out just as they did, were the roles reversed.
You could understand their anger.
...But you couldn't understand their hatred.

The Greatest Act of Optimism by Acewithapaintbrush

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”
