    Summary

    Evy could not be certain, but it sounded a great deal like the Ancient Egyptian equivalent of "Oh, no, not again," which struck her as a rather bizarre thing for a newly awakened mummy to say.

    Summary

    "She said she wouldn't hurt you." Cat admits weakly.

    Ben laughs at the audacity, "The woman who's turned several men into monsters for her own agenda? You trusted her word?"

    Cat calls after Lonnie is cured, but its not Janet who shows up.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    There's an off-screen scene in the book where, after Rocky heals up from his oxygen exposure injuries, he finds out that Grace left the Taumoeba samples out at room temperature like the whole time he was ill.

    Rocky is pissed off enough about this that they have to get the laptop out and add multiple new vocabulary words just so he can yell at Grace properly.

    This is how I imagine that conversation going.
