    Summary

    Teacher Grace cried some more. Engineer Music-Suggesting-Foundations-of-Home was quite used to it doing this, and waited patiently for it to stop.

    “It is Earth culture,” it confessed, even damper than before. “Males are not permitted to remove their own sperms. Only female humans may do that, and only to the males they own. I have never belonged to a female, so it is always painful for me.” Fluids gushed from its nose and mouth in a pitiful fashion.
    -Extract from “Untitled StarShipping Fill 2”, Secretive-Pornographer (a pseudonym), Speculative Xenobiology [zine]. 15762.
    ____
    Someone tries to copyright a trope found in RPF about Grace. Meanwhile, Erid is sending a cultural exchange vessel to Earth.

    Summary

    “Earth spider animals are so beautiful and intelligent,” Teacher Grace said compassionately to Combustion-Fighter. A thrum of spider animals was going by on the street as it said this. “I wish there was a way I could talk to them and teach them about magnetism.”
    That was called ‘foreshadowing.’

    Three Eridian kids try and write a romance novel about their teacher.

    Summary

    “What Grace test next, question?” Rocky asked.

    Grace couldn’t answer. He just lay on the floor of the lab, shaking his head.

    “Grace not give up,” Rocky insisted, tapping the floor for emphasis. “Grace find way to make better food for Grace.”

    Grace rubbed at his face. “I don’t think there is anything to try next, bud,” he said. “I’m pretty sure the Vitamin C thing is a dead end.”

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.
