Work Text:
Eridian’s have not developed computers due to them not needing it, and also due to them not knowing it’s whole existence. However, only a few years of Dr. Ryland Grace being on Erid has made incredible advancements towards Eridian technology. They are on their way to create an accurate replica of a “computer” that they call their “thinking machine,” taken from one of Erid’s greatest savior, ♫♩♪♬♩♫♪♬♫♩, also called by Dr. Ryland Grace—who introduced this specific machinery—“Rocky.” These types of advancements are actively being written in Eridian History, to tell for many Eridian Years on end.
A new addition to the technological age Erid has been going through is the invention of a “communications array.” Previously, Eridians would be able to go through endless communication with the disturbance of many due to their advance echolocation capabilities, yet now, their communication can be held secretly for the sake of more ‘secret communication,’ or as the leaky space blob would call it, ‘snooping’!
One of the first things Eridians did on this communications array is to make a whole log regarding their new intriguing savior, Dr. Ryland Grace. Where many Eridians in on the log called it “Dr. Ryland Grace: Thoughts.”
[2] Dr. Ryland Grace: Thoughts
Pickle (Owner)
Here is a newly made log. This thinking machine has been tested and has been approved to be given to a few selected individuals who have applied due to their rank and their knowledge. Your participation is honoured and you will be given a badge as thanks.
This log, called “Dr. Ryland Grace: Thoughts” is one of my own passion projects. I have been working tirelessly to get this log to work, and if you are reading this, then it seems to have worked. Many great accomplishments.
I am making this log for the sake of having a needlessly thorough discussion of your thoughts regarding one of Erid’s savior and hero, Dr. Ryland Grace. They are a weird individual, and I wish to know deeper about what you think.
Please keep this log civil.
Many thanks, Pickle.
(Name was given by Dr. Ryland Grace because thinking machine cannot ‘write’ Eridian names yet, we are still making advancements. If you do not know your ‘human’ name, please consider asking Dr. Ryland Grace, or great engineer Rocky. Thank.)
(NAME NOT REGISTERED)
Oh I did not know that I needed to ask Dr. Ryland Grace for a name for the sake of operating the thinking machine! Will do now. Thank you for reminding, Pickle. And thank you for making this log. I too, wish to know more regarding Dr. Ryland Grace
With intrigue,
[not registered.]
Pickle (Owner)
Yes, yes. Very intrigued. Many welcomes. I remember lead technology expert Mr. Arthur has stated this previously.
Many thanks, Pickle.
Lake
Wow, you are very smart for creating this log all by yourself. How amazing to see the advancement of Eridian Technology! I will make sure to tell my hatchlings that you are one of the leads and that your brain can be considered outstanding!
Regards,
Lake
Pickle (Owner)
Oh I am very [not registered by system.] Thank you. You are a wonderful parent for giving them such insightful facts of the future.
Many thanks, Pickle.
Dr. Pots
I wonder why this is necessary to be kept in the thinking machine? Can’t we just communicate with each other outside, for the sake of knowing each other and for less confusion? I wonder why we are having to do this. This seems useless.
Pickle (Owner)
I created this because I wanted to, and my boss Technological Expert River told me they wanted to have an additional communications array to test the functions better, so I made this. Have you heard of what happens whenever other eridians talk about Dr. Ryland Grace? Lead engineer Rocky seems to come out of nowhere and start contradicting every negative thing other eridians have to say regarding Dr. Ryland Grace. I made this for the sake of knowing what other eridians are talking about, with less bias and threats.
Many thanks, Pickle
Compress
Lead engineer Rocky seems to have an issue whenever eridians talk about Grace in bad or good way. Any way eridians talk about Grace, bad bad bad for Rocky. Not know why. Thank you for making this safe space.
Hearts, Compress.
Lydia
Is it me or I find Doctor Ryland Grace incredibly [not registered by system.]
Pickle (Owner)
What are you trying to say? The system does not register the word you are talking about.
Lydia
I want to mate Dr. Ryland Grace
Pickle (Owner)
Oh.
Pickle (Owner)
Please do not do that.
Dr. Potato
Dr. Ryland Grace is very interesting to me. This creature seems to be leaking from every single orifice it has (and there are MANY!) yet it seems to also be mainly composed of muscle and bones? And the thing that is protecting its most important parts that control its bodily functions seems to be one large soft squishy thing that can easily be harmed? What bad structure! And yet it is still alive. How amazing of a body it has. I find it interesting. If only Lead Engineer Rocky would approve of me analyzing Dr. Grace’s body in full…
With regards,
Honorable Biologist Potato.
Pickle (Owner)
I think Lead engineer Rocky does not want because Dr. Grace loves his Privacy.
Potato
I think it is because Lead engineer Rocky is incredibly possessive of Dr. Grace.
Pickle (Owner)
These theories are the reasons why I wanted to make this log.
Many thanks, Pickle
Dr. Cream
I find it really odd that the lead engineer and one of our main saviors seems to be incredibly overprotective of the little weird space blob he sent down from his mission. I mean, who in the world would even dedicate all their time to make his own “safe haven’? I wouldn’t find it really productive, speaking from my own thoughts.

Luck
With all due respect, Dr. Cream, I think the weird space blob you’re referring to is called “Dr. Ryland Grace” and he is also considered one of our saviors of Erid! Put some more respect to his name.
Regards,
Luck.
Pickle (Owner)
We should be respectful of Dr. Ryland Grace, and I will not be taking any form of slander for the hero that has saved us all.
Many thanks, Pickle.
Dr. Cream
You’re all licking him.
Pickle (Owner)
You lick yourself. Threat.
Ursula
I quite like Dr. Ryland Grace. I want to make him my mate because he has potential. I am only wondering if Dr. Grace can lay eggs, because it will make him compatible. However, lead engineer Rocky keeps on telling me to not ask.
Pickle (Owner)
Keep chat civil, please.
Ursula
This is a civil thing I am saying. Merely expressing my thoughts, Pickle.
Pickle (Owner)
Expressing my ass. You are not doing it right.
Ursula
How rude.
Pickle (Owner)
Am only making this discussion civil.
Green
Why are there so many people asking for Dr. Ryland Grace to be his mate? I do not see him as a mate, in fact I find him quite disgusting.
Hunk
Be careful, you might get screamed at by lead engineer Rocky (is joke)
Green
Am used to being screamed at by lead engineer Rocky for constantly calling the leaky space blob ‘weird’ or ‘disgusting’
Pickle (Owner)
Please refrain from calling Grace “weird” or “disgusting”
Many thanks, Pickle
Patch
Does anybody know if Dr. Ryland Grace has a mate or is considering to take another one? I wish to make him my mate.
Love, Patch
Pickle (Owner)
Grace is taken by Rocky and Adrian.
Patch
How sad. Is he taking anyone else?
Pickle (Owner)
No.
Patch
Frown.
Hestia
I find Dr. Ryland Grace incredibly [not registered by system] He is so [not registered by system] that I wish to make him my mate and I know that I will satisfy his every need because I am good at [not registered by system] and I know I can make him [not registered by system] because I am amazing at [not registered by system]
Patch
I wholeheartedly agree.
Pickle (Owner)
? What are you understanding that I can’t?
Patch
You are clueless, Pickle
Pickle (Owner)
Wait.
Pickle (Owner)
I think I get what it means now.
Pickle (Owner)
Ew.
Thorax
I don’t like lead engineer Rocky for consistently stopping us from approaching the human because I wish to know more about him from the inside out.
Pickle (Owner)
Maybe the way you’re talking about it is the reason why lead engineer Rocky doesn’t want you approaching Grace.
Bones
Why is lead engineer Rocky stepping in whenever I wish to talk to Dr. Ryland Grace?! I don’t like it! I just want to get to know more about him and his language and yet whenever I tell lead engineer Rocky it’s for science purposes, he seems to continuously stop me! This is research, research! This big thing for the Linguistic Department of Erid! [not registered by system] Rocky! Hate hate hate!
Pickle (Owner)
Ouch.
Car
I love Dr. Grace! He is a great teacher! He makes such good teaching materials!
Pickle (Owner)
How did you get access to the thinking machine?!
Adrian
How come this exists? Does lead engineer Rocky know about this?
Pickle (Owner)
Oh no.

Pickle (Highly Recognized Technician)
Hello, everybody. I would like to tell the people that were given the newly made thinking machine through participation that the special log that I made– my passion project, has been redacted from the thinking machine because I have been exposed. I am sorry.
Adrian (Highly Recognized Technician)
Rocky, why is your name different? Even your role.
Pickle (Highly Recognized Technician)
Shit.
