    Summary

    Colt had made it a point to not let that inadequacy get to him after their discussion. Ryland seemed to do the same. They balanced out each others’ weaknesses, lending a hand when the other faltered.

     

    Or: When it comes to solving a certain problem, Ryland Grace uses his fists.

    Summary

    Rocky creates an android body to use for emergencies. There's just one little problem: the settings of his sensory input are all way too high, and he absolutely hates it. Perhaps some adjustments are in order.

    Summary

    The man in the fourth row scoffs again.

    “Sorry, sir, do you have something stuck in your throat? Do you need some water?” Grace asks. He knows the answer. The man hasn't touched the spread of light snacks and refreshments that sit out at the back of the cafeteria.

    “We don't need to waste time on this bullshit,” the man says. He's tall, even sitting, and is balding under his Giants baseball cap. He's sturdy too, much bigger than Grace. Grace squints at him.

    “Sorry?” Grace asks. He's not used to people doubting his work anymore.

    OR
    I answer the question, "can Ryland Grace fight?"

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    Dan would never let Colt know he had no idea who or what Gracie was. None of the crew who had heard Colt talk about Gracie knew either. There's a running bet on Gracie, even.

    The majority of the vote was that Gracie's a dog, though there's a hardcore group that's convinced Colt has a super sweet but nerdy sister.

    When Ryder was alive, he swore that Gracie wasn't even a real person. Jody's old bet, from when she was a camera operator, was that Gracie's an ex of Colt's he never managed to recover from.

    And Dan hadn't placed a bet because he's terrified Colt would learn of it and be sad when he realized Dan didn't know who or what Gracie was.
