Summary
Alfred quit smoking back in the 70's after the end of the Vietnam war, when anti-smoking was on the rise and he could care enough to stop. It's something he would pick up again during tumultuous times, as old habits die hard, but he hadn't been seen smoking in the last two decades. In the last ten or so years, Alfred has experienced isolation due to his bosses whims and political upheaval. The other nations have heard more and more about the USA but have seen less and less of Alfred. Since the start of 2025 he was only seen during mandatory world meetings, and he's been looking worse for wear.

Summary
Grace misses touch.
He would be perfectly fine never having it again except for the fact that the last human hands he felt were holding his face in the dirt while he screamed.
Meanwhile, Rocky is growing agitated-- it is almost his molting cycle, and he has concerns about building a new shell.-------------
Grace thinks it's just coincidence or proximity when Rocky asks him to decorate pieces of the new carapace, or when the pieces he holds don't crumble in his atmosphere. Or when the hand that presses against the xenonite paneling during testing looks incredibly, insanely human.
It's just him projecting. Rocky wouldn't want that.

Teaching a Tone-Deaf Wet-Faced Human How to Sing-Share by theyhavenotyetinventedawordforwhatiam

Summary
Rocky has officially moved into Hail Mary with Grace, but he's still dealing with the aftereffects of living nearly fifty human years by himself. By chance, he finds himself singing with Grace, and it's clear Grace doesn't fully understand what that means for Eridians.
This story roughly follows the plot of both the book and the film, but Rocky and Grace's personalities are more reminiscent of the book. Furthermore, Rocky's speaking style closely follows the book, although his physical appearance is closer to his depiction in the film.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.
