    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a normal day on the Vat.

    But then Stratt entered his lab with proof that sentient aliens existed, and were trying to communicate with humans.

    Oh, and they specifically wanted to speak with him.

    He needed more candy if he was going to make it through this.

    Rocky remembers meeting a leaky space blob who helped save the stars. Said space blob does not remember him. For now. Rocky will fix.

    That someone will not be Adrian.

    Adrian wants a gun, statement.
