Summary
"Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"
There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.
Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."
Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."
"Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."
"Rock, someone's on the ship."

Summary
“Are you guys sure that’s not the Hail Mary? It’s still orbiting Erid even though I’m not going home, remember?”
Rocky stomps again and lets out another noise. Right, stupid. Of course they can tell the difference.“We checked that. Hail Mary still in orbit. This spaceship is just outside but will eventually be pulled in. You are sure Earth sends nothing else?”
“What? How would I know, Rocky? It’s been decades since I left; maybe they did send it. They know about Erid, we talked about it in the videos sent to Earth, remember?”
Rocky rocks back and forth contemplating the answer. Grace can’t tell if he’s happy with the answer or not. It seems Rocky might’ve come to interrogate Ryland on behalf of the thrum.
“Rocky is this a sting. Are you undercover right now?”
or how Major Roy McBride finds himself instead of returned to Earth, on an alien planet 16.26 light years away. But he's in luck there's another human! and some strange things are going on.

Summary
Grace thinks he’s fine being alone, and plans to spend the rest of his days being a teacher and relaxing on the biodome beach. That is, until Eridians find a bloody submarine near their planet, and his attention is captured by the terrified man who came along with it.
Now, Grace has a new goal: to get Simon to trust him enough to open up about his past, the injuries they found him with, and the reason he refuses to sleep.

Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.Bookmarked by Manic_Mayhem
