    Summary

    Dr Captain Ryland Grace returns to an Earth that had long designated him “history”; 58 years old, and with a body that ached in vicious revenge, Grace wanted to take Rocky and Adrian through the wonders of Planet Earth before his time came.

     

    Rocky and Adrian would very much like it if Grace stopped referencing his mortality, and are finding Earth about as peculiar and spectacular as the man the planet gave them.

     

    Earth is pleasantly surprised to see their intergalactic neighbours at their doorstep, and would very much like to confiscate Grace from Rocky for scientific study, because how the fuck was he still alive.

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    A Joint Taskforce was set up within the six hours following Ilyukhina learning about this. Designated JTF Stratt, its mission was, as stated on the whiteboard Ilyukhina probably stole from one of the labs, ‘To create mischief and celebrate our one and only Dictator Stratt.’

    Stratt's title was Director, so Ryland guessed it fit.

     

    Or, The crew learn Eva's birthday is on April First. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    You and Ryland Grace know each-other fairly well. I mean, being trapped on a spaceship indefinitely with no other company but (very casually) alien life will do that to you.

    So, when Ryland starts acting… off… it’s safe to say you and your scarily perceptive alien friend, Rocky, start to notice.

    Who knew alien life was so confrontational?

    AKA: touch-starved Ryland Grace cause IF YOU WON’T DO IT, I WILL
