    Summary

    Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.

    First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)

    Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.

    --

    Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

    Summary

    “Get on the bed.” Grantaire still hasn't moved, doesn't move. His body is carved from ivory, wet, as though left out in the rain. The droplets from his hair pattern the hardwood floor.

    “And if I don't?” asks Grantaire.

    “I will put you on it,” says Enjolras.

    “I might get back up again,” Grantaire points out.

    “Not if you are tied down,” says Enjolras.

    Summary

    Enjolras hadn't meant to sound disdainful. It had been surprise, only that, and he isn't used to surprises, hadn't liked them very much until he met Grantaire, who is full of them. This one is not unpleasant. It is only unanticipated, considering the fierce pessimism with which Grantaire had responded to their discussions about changing the world and the power of --

    “The people, united, will never be defeated,” says Grantaire, making the rallying cry into sing-song, as it had often been sung at protests. “What a load of horse shit.” He takes another bite of bagel.

    Summary

    “Hi,” says Enjolras. He leans in and down to brush his lips across Grantaire's cheek: intimate, noncommittal. His hair smells of herbal shampoo, and his cheek is dangerously unshaven.

    “Really happy you could be here,” says Grantaire. “To warn you, I'm about to completely embarrass myself. Please pay no attention to the man behind the bass.”

    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    Less than 2 months away from Erid. In the process of the Hail Mary evading an exoasteroid, Rocky falls from top to bottom of the ship.

    In normal circumstances, Rocky could shake it off. Maybe a little sore, but okay.

    In this case, Rocky cannot.

    Rocky is scared.

    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Grace and Rocky somehow get on the topic of mating practices in their respective cultures. Rocky worries that Grace will be upset about not being able to find a human mate on Erid, and Grace explains why that really won't be a problem.

    Summary

    Mica handled a lot of unpredictable situations in their job as an emergency hatchling guardian. It came with the territory – there were all kinds of reasons a pebble too young to be alone might need watching by someone who wasn’t a cluster member. But Mica had never had a situation like the call they received from the space science cluster.

    “Engineer Rocky is on that ship, apparently injured, and he’s brought back some kind of alien with him. It’s very young, only IIVI years old, it doesn’t have any of its own kind, but it learned some Eridian from Engineer Rocky. Can you come and watch it while Engineer Rocky recovers and we work out what it needs?”

    or, Grace gets babysat by an Eridian.

    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?
