There was a miasma in the atmosphere within his own office when Victim stood there, with only the two of them behind closed doors.
He doesn't mind though.

You can't stabilize yourself to land safely, not anymore.
So why not reflect on that? -

Summary
V2 only narrowly managed to kill the other machine, at the cost of its left arm being damaged, nearly scrap at this rate.
Personally, it would rather keep the damn thing, than to rid of it entirely—it'd be a waste of a serviceable arm, it can find a way.

Summary
Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”
“I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”
“Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”
“Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.
“♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.
“What?”

Summary
I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.
And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.
For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.
“Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.
/////
Or: Rocky introduces the two people he loves most.

False Friends by IvyLee

Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
"Calm down, calm down. Whatever is the matter? You've returned much earlier than you said you would."
Rocky hums loudly before straightening its body up, legs all standing straight. I chuckle quietly at the action.
"Grace! Grace is-!" It whistles harshly again, pushing all the air from its vents before starting again. "Adrian overfeed Grace." It dips its carapace low again as it thuds its rear leg against the ground. Very judgemental.
