    Summary

    “Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.” 

    “Cannibalism,” I manage to get out. 

    “New word. Cannibalism.”

    Summary

    The planet 40 Eridani a b is approximately sixteen point three light years away. She checked. It’s actually a very popular Google search these days.

    He keeps having these dreams about a person with no face. It's on the tip of his tongue, really.

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    (or, snapshots of the fourteen days that Rocky and Grace spent making the chain in orbit around Adrian)

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Summary

    “Picture: you, human, stranded in ship in space. Me: big bad space pirate, here to capture you and—”

    “Have your way with me?” grins Grace. “Put your claws alllll over me? Claim me as part of your booty?”

    Rocky reaches down and flicks him. “Grace make sound so stupid. Promise: is not stupid. Could be fun! Grace show me around ship, ready to do anything to convince me to let go free. Maybe Grace even show me own body."

    “Oooooh, and then you could be like: ‘I’ll let you go, but since you’re the only human I’ll ever meet, I have to study you. Experiment on you. For the sake of interstellar biology.’”

    “Well... word ‘probe’ did appear much during research."

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    Technically, the iapetus is correct: the planet is uninhabited. But the silo that rises over the plain, a sterile glint of white metal, suggests this was not always the case. On a planet of one there is no need for names or addresses, but remnants of each remain etched into its walls, and under the rotting floor panels evidence of a legacy can still be found, half buried in the loam.

    Summary

    Following the volcanic eruption that unearthed the Ark, the Autobots are attempting to adjust to Earth. Only time will tell whether agreeing to help the humans with the massive disaster relief effort of clearing mud from waterways will make those attempts harder or easier. Especially when the Decepticons are up to something.

    The diagrams were very crude, but the gist was conveyed. Evaporation. Condensation. Precipitation. And constantly, ominously, the risk of downward flow.

    “I mean no offense,” Prowl said. “but this system is grossly inefficient.”

    “Hey, do you remember that time you killed me?”

    Megatron could not quite read the expression on Rodimus’s face. “Yes,” he said simply.

    “Were you ever going to apologize for that?”

    Megatron weighed all the responses he could make, and settled on, “I hadn’t planned on it, no.”

    Jazz turned in his seat, cube at his lips, just in time to spot the white pursuit vehicle steaming and panting in the doorway. “Jazz of Staniz,” the enforcer shouted, “surrender the matrix and come quietly!”

    Jazz knocked back his drink. “Well!” he said to the open-mouthed bartender, “time to split!”

    Summary

    Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.

    The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.
