    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    In linguistics, a false friend is a word or letter in a different language that looks or sounds similar to a word in a given language, but differs significantly in meaning.

    In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been in his right mind in years.

    1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software sufficient to reflect the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
    2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.

    Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

    Summary

    Adrian is trying their best to do everything they can to help Erid while Rocky remains lost in the stars. He'll come home, they know he'll come home. So they just have to do everything they can to help while they wait down the clock.
    And then the astronomers spot something headed straight for Erid. And it's not the ship they sent up there over half a century ago.
