    Summary

    Before Grace could say anything further, the other man is already taking his shirt off. He fixes his hair after he drops the shirt on the floor, wearing nothing but a harness (for some reason) and…

    Something on his catches the bright fluorescent lights, shining. It makes Grace’s mouth go dry.

    Simon Fisher has nipple piercings.

    Grace is VERY normal about his coworker's piercings. (Engineer!Simon working on PHM AU)

    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.
