    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.

    /

    The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

    Summary

    “Rocky?” His voice was softer than he intended, but he knew the Eridian would detect it regardless.

    “Grace supposed to be sleeping, statement.” Rocky’s voice echoed from the doorway. It was firm, but not harsh, like a parent who had already told their kid to go to bed at least three times, but would still get up to check under the mattress for monsters if asked.

    Grace grumbled, rolling his eyes as he flopped onto his back to stare up at where the ceiling would be. “Just, humor me a minute?”

    “Why would I make you laugh when I want you sleeping, question?”

    -

    Or, Grace is–once again–left wondering about the events surrounding his placement on the Hail Mary and Rocky would really just like his human to go to sleep before he gets too sad and stupid.

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    —————

    Or

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.
