    Summary

    When Rocky first found an alien life form near Tau Ceti, he never expected to see them again after a solution was found, so he named them accurately for what he knew about them: Dumbass

    This brings up multiple issues when the two arrive at Erid and the elders do not approve of the name for the planet's savior

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.
