    Summary

    I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.  

    Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    Maybe it is scared too. Great. Two aliens scared of each other floating here with a wall between them.

    Rocky's POV of the first meeting, kind of channeling a scaredy cat engineering classmate I knew in college. Also because I saw a Tumblr post that was like "Rocky is a tatted up engineer, every other word was an expletive" and I thought that was funny.
