Summary
The camera moves down and zooms in to focus on the helmet, where a small hand is tracing the blue eye-like markings. The camera zooms out a little to reveal that the hand belongs to the cadet in the trooper’s lap.
“And do we know what colour this bucye is?”

Summary
Footsteps and shuffling outside the door break Grace out of the uneasy doze he’d fallen into after being shoved into the cell. If he’d known he was going to be detained, he never would have steered the Hail Mary toward the mysterious cobbled-together-looking station hanging in loose orbit above the tiny dark planet.
Blinking to bring himself to full alertness, he stares dully forward as bodies approach. He knows by now that he can't understand these people. What's the point in saying anything?
“Hey,” a voice says, low and rough. It’s a new voice, different from the ones who chased him down and threw him in a cell. Grace ignores it. So they're mimicking him now? Great.
The new person clears their throat, then coughs like it was painful. He hears them muttering something, and a more familiar voice – one of the guards – growls back. Grace listens with everything he has, tuning all the xenolinguistic skills he's learned working with Rocky into the problem, and he still can't tell what the heck they're saying.
“Hey,” the new voice says again. “Ai, uh...ai herdjer talkin' oldstyle.”
“...What?” Grace tumbles to his feet and stumbles forward. “What did you say?”

Summary
This article is about humans who lack sexual attraction or interest in sexual activity. For the lack of romantic attraction, see Aromanticism. For the lack of a gender, see Agender. For other uses, see Asexual (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Asexual reproduction.
So I am confused. Or, I did exactly what that little dummy paragraph said and confused asexuality with asexual reproduction. Which is something I don’t ever need to be Googling because I have a flipping doctorate in this crap. Why am I looking this up agin? I am far too exhausted for this.

Summary
Olesya wonders if Dr. Xi has picked up on this ‘thing’ that everyone seems to be thinking about, but no one is saying. The way Grace seems to go limp, pliant, easy when touched. It’s the alcohol, but it’s something else too. Something unquantifiable.
Grace doesn’t appear to know that he’s the new variable in their equation, the puzzle that everyone is trying to solve.
or: Grace gets cuddly when he's drunk.

Summary
“Dr. Grace? As in the Dr. Grace who studied the Arclight samples and named Astrophage?" Minoru felt as if he was going to explode from excitement, “He’s here? On this boat?!”
Ilyukhina laughed and Minoru didn’t even care that she was making fun of him. Even Dubois seemed a little taken aback by the enthusiasm. Shapiro though— her eyes were glowing.
“Yes he’s on the boat!”
“Do you think we’ll get to meet him?!”
“Who do you think is going to teach us how to handle Astrophage?” Dubois asked, like he thought they were both overreacting. Minoru felt like he was going to faint.
Alternatively: Ryland Grace in the eyes of others during his time on The Petrova Task Force and Project Hail Mary.
