“Why did you take it outside?” he finally asked. His father hummed.
“Because it’s where it belongs.”
“But why not just squish it?”
Pa looked at him, and his shoulders rose in timidity. His Pa sighed, and placed a warm hand across Clark’s shoulders.
“Because it’s not the kind thing to do.”-
There are some things that spiders can teach us, and the first is perspective.

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
A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)

"Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."
"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

Summary
There are only two little issues to ensuring my livelihood.
Vitamins and food. Fine, not so little. Big big big issues. Vitamins are going to be a major struggle. Humans are built to get most of their vitamins from food, of which I’ve already run out, aside from a few half-rations saved for really hard days. I’ve already separated a large sample of coma slurry to give over when we get to Erid. Hopefully, having samples of all my vitamins will help them figure out what to synthesize rather than just going from scratch.
Food is going to be even trickier.
But I have a plan. A foolhardy one, likely, but a plan nonetheless. I am going to start a farm. Yeah, that’s right. Have I literally ever lived in a house with its own yard my entire life? No. Have I ever grown anything bigger than the lima beans in wet paper towels as a class experiment? No! Do I have any of the things I need to even start a farm, most importantly, the seeds? No!
Well, maybe. Okay, here’s the rundown.
or Grace has lofty dreams to start a farm on Erid. We'll see how it goes.
