    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    “How does it feel… to love Adrian?”

    Rocky, seemingly caught off guard, angles his carapace up towards me. He chirps in surprise. “Why ask, question?”

    “Just answer,” I say, looking away from him. I can’t help but flush with embarrassment asking the question. It sounds stupid and cheesy coming out of my mouth but I have to know: is love truly constant throughout the universe? Is their love the same as ours? What does love mean for Eridians?

    After the conversation about relativity, Grace and Rocky talk about love while making chain.

    OR

    Making movie Rocky and Grace endure book Rocky and Grace’s chain-making-and-spooling endeavours. (With an aroace coming-to-jesus moment thrown in there)

    Summary

    Less than 2 months away from Erid. In the process of the Hail Mary evading an exoasteroid, Rocky falls from top to bottom of the ship.

    In normal circumstances, Rocky could shake it off. Maybe a little sore, but okay.

    In this case, Rocky cannot.

    Rocky is scared.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky set sail for Erid and unpack all their emotional baggage along the way.

    When you're stuck in a tin can for almost four years, it's rarely smooth sailing. But, hey! At least your best friend is there to call you an idiot, and you're almost certainly going to die when you reach your destination!

    (Or: The one where Rocky builds a robot instead of an EVA suit)
