    Summary

    “Wow, this is so… And what happened to those soldiers? Eridians from frontlines? I gather they had some sort of severe case of PTSD then.”

    “They died.”

    “I beg your pardon?”

    This.

    This is clearly some mistake in the translation. Has to be.

    -

    On a long jorney to Erid Grace and Rocky decide to deal with traumatic nature of Eridian's experience in space. They do it with talks, singing, gossiping and dancing.

    I just thought there is a lot of works about Rocky helping Grace to deal with heavy emotional stuff, there should be one where Grace supports his friend also!

    or "Statistical Fallacy (N=1)
    or "Mimicking you Mimicking Me"
    or "oopsie doopsie absolutely nobody here is a trained diplomat lol"

    or the Erid homecoming keeps having more issues arise. Human and Eridian relations are off to a, pardon the pun, rocky start. And Grace doesn't know why, but he is a little paranoid that Rocky somehow did it on purpose.

    Hopefully Earth gets his updated information on communicating with Eridians before they decide to send someone else. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty embarrassing for everyone.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
