Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Battat turned the corner while fixing Mike's stupid bowtie and crashed right into his boss, the two startling as the impact jolted the mug in Tenna’s hand. The liquid sloshed and splattered all over Battat and his costume.
"Battat!” Tenna yelped, his antennas going crooked. He immediately bent down, fussing uselessly as though he could wipe away the damage before it set in. "Goodness, are you alright?! Does it burn?” The hand on Mike's cheek quickly slapped over Tenna's own mouth in realization.
Battat twitched under the costume. What.

(Tenna has his own fun with Battat. Battat finds out that Tenna found out a long time ago.)

Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.
