    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    (Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )

    Summary

    The awareness of time is a delicate thing.

    It is slipping rapidly from Grace's fingers. Grace, who is starving to death, who is still recovering from the most precise amnesia Earth could give him, who turned around and left Earth in the hands of the Beetles save his one dearest companion even though it would kill him, is still a scientist at heart. Scientists solve problems. He finds ways to keep track.

    Rocky wouldn't approve, but what Rocky doesn't know won't hurt him.

    Summary

    Living on a spaceship with an alien that exclusively speaks in song can really recontextualize karaoke for a guy.

    Summary

    My head lifted from where it had been sitting in my hands. My hands didn’t feel real anymore. I stared at the box in front of me. Before I could protest, my shaking limbs dragged my weary body to it, grabbing the small firearm. It was heavier than I anticipated. It was almost unassuming.

    Grace is not doing well. Thank God he has Rocky.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.
