    Summary

    Rocky's POV during that one time when Grace shamelessly ate a burrito in the tunnel. Like the little slut he is.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    A lot can happen in three hours, Ilyukhina reasons. Especially when the alternative is the extinction of all life on the planet. Maybe Grace sat with himself for a few hours, looked at a picture of his students, had a "come to Jesus" moment as the Americans like to say. Maybe he sat down across from Stratt and said with steady hands "you're right, someone has to do it. And it has to be me."
    Maybe.
    --
    Sometime before they slip into their induced comas, Ilyukhina and Yáo consider their unconscious crewmate.
