Summary
Grace needs to look at this logically. It's a video in the logs folder, dated to when the ship took off, and perfectly introductory log length at a few minutes long.
Of course it's a log.
***
While fighting boredom on the trip back to Earth, Grace finds a video log from Ilyukhina and Yao.

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."
or
Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.
Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.
What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

Roche Limit by spektrewrites (BadForTheHeart)

Summary
Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.
As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?Series
