    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

    Ryland Grace has been living in the human-friendly bio-dome on Erid for a human month. But with Rocky being busy with other work most of the time, the Eridian scientists start to wonder if maybe they should let him socialize more. Adrian knows a bit about Ryland, and Ryland knows a bit about Adrian, so the decision is made to let Rocky introduce the two and see if Adrian could be the one to keep the human stable until the dome is stable enough to let him freely socialize.

    Summary

    « Prends des notes pendant que tu m'observes dormir. Au cas où. »

    Cela ne faisait que deux semaines que Ryland et Rocky avaient commencé leur voyage vers Erid, mais déjà, quelque chose clochait. Est-ce la solitude accablante de l'espace infini ? L’alimentation insuffisante ? L'ennui qui envahit chaque minute de leur journée ? Ou bien, Ryland se battait-il contre quelque chose de plus insidieux, de plus profond : une instabilité mentale qui se nourrisait du vide spatial ?"

    Summary

    Tap tap.
    I weakly lift my arm from my bed, offering Rocky a thumbs up. I’m alive. I can hear him. More importantly I’m awake, so he shouldn’t feel bad for leaving me alone.
    Tap.
    He’s worried.
    “I know,” I mumble. “I’m jus’ tired.”

    "Sometimes body wake up in stages. I could think but I no hear. Too quiet. Alone alone alone," he explains.

    "Not alone. I'm here here here," I reply.

    Rocky wakes up but he can't hear Grace. And rightfully so he freaks out about that.

    “Health improving. Happy happy happy.”
    “Wow Rock, I didn’t know you cared so much!”
    I’m just teasing, trying to make light of how closely he seems to observe me. But the mood of the conversation swings and when he speaks it’s louder, frustrated, almost offended. “Of course care! Of course!"

    Summary

    Ultrasonic: Relating to sounds above 20000 Hz, higher than what humans may hear.

    Eridians have evolved to use ultrasonic sounds to escape predators, similar to the human fight-or-flight. Similarly, the body sometimes conflates an emotional danger to a physical one.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    “What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.

    “Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”

    Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.

    “Yeah,” Grace breathes.

    ~~~

    On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.
