    Summary

    “You know what? Nevermind. It’s not worth it.” Occtis starts folding himself into bed, prompting Julien to sit up, aggravated by the principle of the thing.

    “Just ask me the fucking question.”

    “I don’t just want to ask one, I want to—gh—do you know how a conversation works?”

    “You want to get to know me?” Julien says with horror.

    — On the road to the Golden Orchard, after the second-worst week of their lives, Occtis and Julien play stupid games.

    Summary

    She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.

    PHM_GRACE_RYLAND_9.13.23

    She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.

    The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.

    Eva Stratt will never know.

     

    OR Stratt uploaded the cctv footage of Grace running for his life and Simon finds it, forcing Grace to face that dark spot in his memory

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    Stratt deals in outcomes.

    The equation was simple:

    One man

    for eight billion lives.

    The kind of math that pretends to be brutal but is, in truth, embarrassingly straightforward.

    And so she does not regret.

    Or,

    After 49 years, Dr. Ryland Grace comes back to earth with alien allies and a scarred stranger. (Stratt’s POV)
