Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
For as much as I have remembered up until this point, I always thought my life to go the same way it would go for a guy like me: grad school, getting kicked out of the academia, and settling to be a middle school teacher was not too far away from the classic story of a jock who got a knee injury in his mid-twenties and abandoned his sports career to be a gym coach.
I was okay with it, really. To be completely honest, teaching middle schoolers made me, if not better as a person, a little more patient in all aspects of my life. A little.
Then the Project started, and I haven’t had peace ever since. Every experience was either the best moment of my overall boring life, or one of the most horrible things that could happen to a person.
I survived it all, of course, often through the sheer power of ‘do it scared and complaining’ and against all odds, the ‘i-don’t-want-to-die’-guy that I am.For the last 24 hours, though, I wished for nothing but to be put out of my misery.

Summary
It was an accident the first time.
(One could argue that it wasn't even an accident the first time. Grace could argue this, and he would argue this, probably questioning, how does someone masturbate accidentally??? To which Rocky would then point to Portable Earth Thinking Machine and bring up the many definitions of the very word accident—one being "lack of intention or necessity," which is what Rocky means in this particular case.)
…admittedly, it doesn't quite work. Rocky didn't start pleasuring himself accidentally after all—that was very intentional, as much as he'd hate to admit it, but he'd rather jump out of Mary's airlock than explain that to Grace.
So no, not quite an accident. Not exactly the word that fits this peculiar situation he's gotten himself into.
Rocky just didn't intend for it to go this far.

Summary
"He's tapping his fingers together again. I know what he's thinking. He's thinking what I am thinking. But if either of us is going to say it, it's gotta be him. 'If it came down to it, I would be completely fine with you performing an invasive surgery on me', is something that would take possibly three more near-death experiences and another coma to grant me the resolve to say aloud."
