"Your cooking tastes like prison food," Simon muttered into the glass, his voice bitter but without a trace of venom, fogging the pane as he spoke. Ryland let out a breathless, watery sound, halfway between a laugh and a sob. "I'll take that as a compliment." ---- A continuation of the story after the events of Project Hail Mary and Iron lung. I try to be as story (and fact) accurate as I can be for the nerds out there. I see you, you're welcomed here (and everybody else). I heavily rely on PHM book with some details from the movie. TL;DR Grace is panicking because Simon is hot, but make it slow burn and cosmic horror. :D My art!

Halfway through Grace and Rocky's journey to Erid, they get a radio transmission calling for help. Something Grace didn't even know was possible. Despite his internal monologue, Grace makes the decision to help.
