    Summary

    Rocky trills, awed. "You respond."

    It's a statement, not a question, but I can hear the notes of confusion woven into his tone. "Y-yeah," I say. It's a concentrated effort to string words into sentences, but I feel compelled to try for Rocky. "'Course I do. Why…wouldn't I?"

    "Did not expect. Erid animals no respond to frequency, only react."

    I feel my lips pull themselves into a lazy smile. "Guess 'm just…special."

    Rocky makes a few thoughtful clicks, and I feel them in my teeth. "Hmm. Have other theory," he hums. "You intelligent life, like Eridian. You larger than Eridian, but soft and leaky. Have similar thinking capabilities, but no carapace. Simple result; human cannot protect brain from Eridian predation tactics."

    I nod minutely. "Good theory." After a few seconds, his words actually seem to sink in for me. "Wait. Predation?"

    Rocky demonstrates a unique ability of his to Grace. It doesn't quite go as expected, for either of them.

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    “I'm trying to remember who was in there.” Grace sounds distracted again, thoughts miles away. “I’m trying to remember the experiments that were scheduled. I think… I think…” He sobs and slaps a hand over his mouth as if the noise has snuck up on him. “I think Shapiro and Dubois… I think they wanted to… but I can’t remember if that was today. I can’t remember, Carl!”

    A shiver runs down Carl’s spine and it feels like the ground is falling out from under him. His vision is swimming with black spots for a second but he blinks them back by sheer force of will. 

    This can’t be happening. He refuses to believe that this is happening. Because if Shapiro and Dubois were in that building that means…

    ******************

    Some might argue that Carl knew from the moment they all gathered in that conference room what would be asked of Dr. Grace and that it wasn’t really a choice at all.

    I think he knew much, much longer than that.
