    Summary

    Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.

    “Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
    “Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
    “Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”

    Or; twenty-three friends leave for the most dangerous mission known to Erid, two strangers return.

    Summary

    “You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.

    “Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”

    A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.

    But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

    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.

    Summary

    Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.

     
    As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace was many things. A disgraced microbiologist, a schoolteacher, a leading expert on alien life, not an astronaut.
    Dr. Ryland Grace was also deathly allergic to peanuts.

    An unexpected reaction leads to an unexpected conversation.

    Summary

    His planet was just only a day away, the beautiful sphere being visible from the ship. We also did have work to do, mainly figuring out how to get close enough for the Eridians to know we’re there but also far away enough where we didn’t get pulled into the atmosphere and crash and die. But we’ve had years to prepare. We had done the math a billion times over and checked one more time, just in case. Rocky still held little faith in my piloting abilities, leaving him worried about the not crashing and dying part. He is also anxious to be home. To get off a spaceship, to be on solid ground, to tell his tales, to be reunited with Adrian.

    OR

    yay grace and rocky make it to erid in one piece! but oh... grace is stuck in the ship before he is able to come down to the planet... right... he'll be okay. probably.
