A BloodyMary fanfic

Introduction

After Ryland gave away the rest of his life to save Rocky, he had come to terms with the fact he would never interact with another human again. But of course- like when he had come to terms that he would die aboard the Hail Mary- he had been informed of the opposite.

“FRIEND GRACE! HUMAN FOUND!” Rocky’s robotic voice yelled through the translator.

“What?” Grace asked with a raised brow.

“New human come to Erid!” Rocky said with excited chirps and trills and a movement resembling jazz hands.

“A human?!” Grace squealed bewilderedly.

“Yes come in small small tube like submersible!” Rocky chirped.

“Rock, you better not be pulling my leg.”

“Rocky no pull Grace friend leg! Grace friend would fall.”

“Figure of speech, Rock. It means to lie.”

“Rocky no lie. Tell truth! New human is on Erid now, come back from Eridian expedition from nearby planets.” Rocky stamped his front appendage down, now in a huffy mood.

“Wha- Uh- Take me!” Grace sputtered, “Take me to see them.”
