Summary
“No word in Eridian. Human Earth thing. Explain.”
Ryland thinks back, then – oh. Ohhhh. Oh God. “What, Jesus Christmas?”
“Yes. Yes yes yes.”
“Ohhhhh boy,” says Ryland.
Admittedly, he kinda wants to have this conversation. Not because he’s looking forward to bumbling through a terrible explanation of the thousand Gods that humans have worshipped over the centuries, but he’s curious to know if Eridians worship anything. If they have ancient theories about the origins of the universe that morphed into a way of life over the years. Where that might’ve come from.
Alien theology might’ve been the number-one priority of some human scientists and biologists, and maybe he should’ve asked about this before he sent the Beetles off, but – hey. This is just for him. Besides, he’s flying to Erid. It’ll be good to know cultural customs before he lands and says something that accidentally offends a whole alien religion, or something. Because that’s something he would 100% manage to do.
“What.”
“Rocky, do Eridians have religion?”

Summary
One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.
Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.
Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.
But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

Summary
Carl had offered to do it; Yao and Ilyukhina had offered; even the consulting ISS astronauts had offered; really, it was an administrative job, and someone's military could have done it. But Eva hadn't been able to forget the last burning look of not just betrayal, but overriding abject fear, that Grace had thrown at her as he fled her office. She had to do this for him. It was penance.

I open my mouth, and then I realize exactly what I just walked into.

Summary
Ryland Grace doesn't even bother trying to not cry when he sees the little house on the beach. The water might be boiling, and the terraform dome might be barely bigger than the Hail Mary herself, but Rocky and Adrian made him a house. Instead of living alone on a spaceship forever he can live on Erid. They made him a bedroom. They brought down Armando. Grace sits on the floor and focuses on breathing evenly.
Is good reaction, he hears Rocky tell Adrian. Leaking sign of strong emotion. Grace often have strong emotion.

Summary
“How long do humans live for, question. Rocky want to know.”
Rocky stamps his claw impatiently on the flat surface of his xenonite ball as he asks, a skittery, jittery movement that rattles in Ryland’s ears.
He sighs. Rubs at his temples. Thinks about how to answer this as diplomatically as physically possible, as at ease as physically possible.
It’s not that he cares much about the fact he’ll be dead long long before Rocky. He doesn’t care about that. He’s probably going to die a whole lot sooner than your average human, anyway, considering his diet of coma-slurry and Taumoeba and little else. Besides, he’s been in space for longer than anybody has been in the history of ever. That’s sure to do messed-up things to his bones and joints and mass and everything. But it doesn’t matter. He’s made peace with that. For-real made peace, because any time more is a thousand times over what he thought he’d get.
What does matter is that Rocky has no idea that there’s probably only about fifty years left in his tank.
***
Or: the average male human lifespan is 80 years. Rocky doesn't know that.

Layla doesn’t know why she says this.
Though, the moment the words leave her mouth she believes them to be true. There have been days over the last year when she couldn’t remember her father’s name or the recipe to her favorite sugar cookies (the really chewy ones her grandmother used to make for Christmas), but she was certain that this man was an angel.
