    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    Pins and needles in my hands and feet have turned into full-on numbness in some areas. My legs ache. I am weak and tired. My gums have finally started bleeding. My arms display a colorful wave of bruises where blood has been taken. I have only a few days of coma slurry left. And. There are gaps in my memory. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad that I am able to sometimes remember this.

    I can also recognize the fact that I have become more withdrawn and irritable, but it’s as if I can’t physically stop myself from acting on those emotions instead of dealing with them in a rational manner.

    I sit in the corner of my habitat, knees drawn up and face pressed against the xenonite, away from the commotion. They’re letting me be for now, but I can tell every Eridian is focused on me regardless as they pack up Armando and other medical detritus.

    “Want Rocky here,” I mutter stubbornly against the translucent surface. They know this. I know they know this. I don’t understand why they’re keeping me from him. There’s a physical agony in my chest. I miss him so much.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.
