    Summary

    Grace is always asking me about my mate. “What was he was like when he was young? How did you both meet? What does he act like when I’m not around?” Slightly invasive, personal questions, all of which I find myself answering without hesitation.

    I try to hold back my excitement. It becomes rather clear to me that “best friends” must mean something slightly different for humans.

    Summary

    “Grace say recording will be sent to humans with Taumoeba on Beatles. Rocky wants to talk to humans!”
    The carapace of the creature tilts upwards as if excited. “Earth is beautiful beautiful beautiful planet!” It stomps one of its legs three times for emphasis. “Grace show Rocky many beautiful moving pictures! Mountains and forests and beaches and ocean and San Francisco! Rocky happy happy happy Earth safe! Rocky love Earth!”
    Then it pauses. Its carapace lowers. Despite having no eyes or facial expression, it gives off the distinct feeling of glaring.
    “Rocky hate hate hate humans.”

    Summary

    "So how humans pick partner?"

    "Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”

    “Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

    Summary

    The trip to Erid from Tau Ceti was a long one (of only 3.9 Earth years), especially when the only other company you have aboard the ship is an Eridian engineer. Not only that, just because the universe hates you so, you slowly realize that you’ve developed feelings for said Eridian engineer.

    Welcome to the life of Captain Dr. Ryland Grace.
