Summary
I was asleep when it happened. I'd woken up without my meories on a suicide mission to save the sun and met and tentitivly befriended an alien(!!) this past month. My life was already going crazy.
So why wouldn't a blood covered person appear out of nowhere on my ship. And oh boy, its a kid the age of my students. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Will arrive at Erid in three months. Rocky get smartest Eridians to make food for human grace and help alien wake up.” Rocky says with a little more hope and incline in his voice, causing the edge of my lips to curl upwards slightly.
Rocky always does his best to say what he thinks I need to hear, and, for the most part, he isn't too far from the mark.
“Yeah…Everything will be okay” I respond, and hope that it's true.
-
Grace and Rocky have made it through a bulk of their trip to Erid. In their travels, the two discover a man in the middle of dead space- tethered to nothing, with no oxygen tank and yet alive all the same.
Simon has been in a coma on the Hail Mary for three months now, and Grace is trying to stay sane.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
The rest of Rocky's bulky little carapece situates itself in the curl of my body. I complain about his sharp edges just to annoy him. He stands his ground.
He's not sharp: the suit takes care of that. I am.
There's a little groove in my 8th rib on the left side I never noticed before. Now that the fat's gone, I can feel it. It's shaped like the concave slope of a red blood cell, and reminds me of a gravity well.
Grace is a little tired.

Summary
Grace is allergic to many airborne things. Rocky disapproves.
They also both suck at informative video-making. But that's fine — it's not like these are going up on Youtube for the entire planet to see or anything.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

"Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.
And there was a needle coming towards me.
Wait."
...Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

Summary
“How long do humans live for, question. Rocky want to know.”
Rocky stamps his claw impatiently on the flat surface of his xenonite ball as he asks, a skittery, jittery movement that rattles in Ryland’s ears.
He sighs. Rubs at his temples. Thinks about how to answer this as diplomatically as physically possible, as at ease as physically possible.
It’s not that he cares much about the fact he’ll be dead long long before Rocky. He doesn’t care about that. He’s probably going to die a whole lot sooner than your average human, anyway, considering his diet of coma-slurry and Taumoeba and little else. Besides, he’s been in space for longer than anybody has been in the history of ever. That’s sure to do messed-up things to his bones and joints and mass and everything. But it doesn’t matter. He’s made peace with that. For-real made peace, because any time more is a thousand times over what he thought he’d get.
What does matter is that Rocky has no idea that there’s probably only about fifty years left in his tank.
***
Or: the average male human lifespan is 80 years. Rocky doesn't know that.

Summary
Ryland Grace is Not Doing Well.
He’s consulted a medical textbook. He’s definitely malnourished, as expected, but he also thinks he might have scurvy, which is. Uh.
He’s attempting to make light of it. Well. He’s attempting not to make anything of it at all. They only have what, ten more days until they reach Erid? And once they’ve got to Erid, Rocky has reassured him, told him again and again and again that the best minds on Erid will fix him, will work out a way to feed him, that they’ll help.
So he just has to make it through those ten more days. With scurvy. No big deal. Who hasn’t lived with scurvy before? If he thinks real hard about it, he’s just a pirate, at the end of the day. A space pirate. A space pirate who pillaged another planet for their resources and has now got scurvy as a form of divine retribution for crimes against Taumoeba (eating it) and Astrophage (getting Taumoeba to eat it.)
He’s Jack Sparrow. What the hey, sure.

“Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?”
“Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

Summary
“Rocky saw.”
His mind races. The what, the ship cams? Did they record Stratt’s men dumping him comatose and still and scared in the ship, did they talk about what they’d done to him? No, that would make sense. Besides, the Hail Mary was in orbit around Erid, not impossible to get to, but not worth it for a nose around. Or – maybe he’d said something in his sleep, and Rocky was only just talking to him about it. That also makes no sense. Or maybe –
“You… saw.”
“Eridians see dream-memories sometimes.”
“That literally makes no sense,” blurts Ryland, and Rocky stamps his feet. The way he’d done back on the ship when something was painfully obvious and Ryland failed to get it. “Sorry. You’re gonna have to explain.”
“Eridians are linked to all Eridians. Erid is like – word need word – database. Database for all Eridians thought memories events. When Eridians sleep, they see other Eridian memories. Didn’t happen on ship because no tie to Erid. Didn’t happen on Mary because no tie to Erid. Rocky saw Grace's memories.”
***
Or: Rocky finds out Grace was forced onto the Hail Mary without his consent, but not really in the way you'd expect.

Summary
‘The irony of finding it near impossible to warm himself up on a planet whose boiling temperatures would kill him the moment he stepped outside wasn’t lost on him. Heck, he had thrown out a joke about it to Rocky during one of his many visits to the ailing human soon after he was first moved into his biodome.
Of course, Rocky didn’t find it funny. Not that Grace could necessarily blame him.’
Or: Rocky visits Grace in his biodome as he continues to recover from his brush with severe malnutrition following their arrival to Erid.

Summary
“Very blob-like.”
I laugh lightly. His voice is still off, but at least he’s respecting my wish to lighten the mood by making jokes.
“Blobs need to be flexible, don’t they?”
“Yes. Endoskeleton very fascinating.”
“For sure. Also, at the end of my spine, I have a tailbone. It’s a vestigial feature, meaning it’s something human ancestors once needed but modern humans have absolutely no use for.”
I hear him shift again, then he makes a note that I’ve come to realize is an Eridian’s version of ‘ugh’.
“Not fascinating. Inefficient.”
—
Grace grows severely emaciated towards the end of the journey to Erid. He uses this as an opportunity to teach a worried Rocky about the structure of his bones in a poor attempt to distract Rocky from the severity of his malnourishment.

Summary
Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.
She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.
But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.
OR; The beetles make it home.

Summary
They've got four years of time to kill now that they're headed to Erid and Grace has to make the unfortunate discovery that outside of science, he really doesn't have too many other interests. Which is fine, in his opinion, he's got a whole universe outside his window to study. Who needs movies when you've got science and discovery?
Rocky seems to disagree.
Or, Rocky somewhat learns about human entertainment and decides Grace needs to like something that isn't work

Summary
This is all Rocky's fault. He was stupid, stupid, stupid. How could he be so stupid and let this happen? Between the two of them, Grace was supposed to be the stupid one, not Rocky.
They were supposed to be okay, fine. Rocky and Grace saved the stars, saved Earth and Erid, saved humans and eridians. Rocky helped Grace and Grace helped Rocky. Then Grace saved Rocky. So Rocky had to save Grace.
Now they're supposed to be safe and fine.
But Grace isn't fine. Not at all. And it's all his fault.
Or, Grace accidentally comes into contact with Erid bacteria and gets sick, Rocky (understandably) panics
