    Basically what it says on the tin: the Eridians studying the leaky space blob Rocky brought back and being mildly horrified at, like, most of his weird habits and biology things.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Using a harmonica to communicate in Eridian is such a clever idea! Man, having to use that in addition to the lack of clarity over radio...!

    Summary

    It's been two years since Grace and Rocky touched down on Erid. The Eridians have finally synthesized a balanced diet for Grace and after months of recovery, he's back on his feet - and he's ready to see more of Erid! But he's in for a rude awakening. While his local cluster is well acquainted with him, the rest of the world still sees him as a freakish alien. Grace has to come to terms with the reality that it's going to take time for everyone else to accept him as a person.

    Read if you want a PHM story that is lighthearted and not soul crushing.
