    Summary

    “Grace! Grace! Grace! Grace!” Rocky repeated over and over as he hopped around Ryland, who was attempting to stabilise both himself and the unruly alien running circles around him— literally and figuratively.

    “Woah, buddy! Calm down, I can’t understand you when you’re talking so fast!” Ryland managed to grab hold of one of Rocky’s limbs, causing the Eridian to topple over. Whatever he needed to say had to be important, because instead of being offended, Rocky rose to his feet and could barely contain his excitement as he swayed from side to side before Ryland.

    ”Adrian crew found life! Found another Grace! Adrian found human!”

    -

    A new human shows up on Erid, and the little life Ryland had been creating for himself caves in on itself.

    Summary

    "Grace! Grace, come look at screen, statment!" Grace rolled his eyes for a moment before he shuffled his way over to where Rocky was perched on the chair, taking a look at the screen his friend was almost excitedly pointing at. "...What the hell?" "Looks like liquid, but moon too small for liquid. We take more look, question?"

    Grace flicked a couple of switches and pressed a few buttons, and the Hail Mary ran a quick scan of the moon. And pinged that there was, somehow, LIFE somewhere within the liquid. "Yeah. We'll take a closer look."

    Summary

    Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.

    The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.

    They found another human inside the vessel.

    Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”
