Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.
--
Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
One day, your dearest friend in the universe asks you what your name is.
You say, what, and do not tap a question. (This is one of many weird linguistic quirks you've picked up recently. It's one of your favourites. It's a funny way to be flat and vaguely judgemental, to imply nonplussed bafflement.)
~~
We all know how it is; you save each other's lives, you save each other's worlds, you undertake an interstellar journey with only each other for company, and then eventually you realise that you have no idea what the other person's name actually is.

Summary
Back on Earth (not back home, not anymore, not for a very long time) I think I remember there being some kind of rule against teachers having their own kids in their classes.
It was never relevant to me, what with my somewhat impressive lack of Earthly connections.
It’s relevant now. Very relevant.
Rocky and Adrian's pebbles' first day as Grace's students is not the most relaxing of days on Erid.

Summary
25 years after the Beetles returned, an unmanned probe landed on Earth. Ryland Grace survived his trip to Erid, and has made his home there. And he decided to say hi.
The probe contained videos recorded by Dr. Grace from the surface of Erid, as well as a greeting from various Eridians, audio recordings, and research papers. We'll let Dr. Grace explain what he sent us in his own words. Watch the introductory video below.

Summary
In modern Western tonal music theory, a diminished second is the interval produced by narrowing a minor second by one chromatic semitone. It is enharmonically equivalent to a perfect unison; therefore, it is the interval between notes on two adjacent staff positions, altered in such a way that they have no pitch difference in twelve-tone equal temperament.
The ache I feel for Adrian has been a part of me for so many years that it is a familiar dragging weight, like a mangled sixth limb. The ache for Grace is stranger, worse. Not because he is an alien, but the opposite; he is so much of myself that I have entirely lost the sound of where he begins and I end, and somehow I still want him closer, closer, closer.
