   Summary

   An Alternate Universe where Grace faced starvation earlier on due to contaminated food. I am following what the book states about the food situation on the ship, how Grace has enough food until he reaches Erid. Due to an error within the ship, one Grace couldn’t fix in time, much of the food spoils and rots. Grace’s starvation begins early. The trip to Erid was hard on Grace’s body, and despite its scientists being quick on their feet, Grace’s condition worsens. Rocky devotes his time to remaining by Grace’s side, experiencing more grief than an Eridian would experience in a life time.
