Summary
“Doc broke a tube of something, inhaled it, then fell in the middle of the lab. He said it was someone else’s. Smelled sweet.”
Stratt swears about a paragraph worth of German profanity.
“You’ve got the shape of it,” Carl says when she’s done. “You know what that was?”
She presses hard at her temple. “It was an experimental drug to manipulate neurotransmitters,” she spits out, her consonants especially harsh. “Meant to help the crew in their comas by stabilizing hormonal output.”
“It was supposed to,” Carl echoes. “Does it?”
When Stratt shakes her head sharply, her hair falls from its loose braid. “The very opposite. It was an abject failure—an aphrodisiac. Very potent.”
“Uh oh,” Grace says dreamily.
.....
When Grace has an accident in the lab and ingests an aphrodisiac, Carl takes him to the only person he knows with a private room. Stratt gets them through it.

Summary
Grace is a pebble. An alien pebble, but a pebble nonetheless. Rocky and Adrian know they're the only ones suitable for caring for said pebble. Said pebble has yet to get the memo. In unrelated news, Ryland Grace has a headache.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
“Welcome, everyone! Please settle down and let us start. ” Commander Novag, a medium-sized, smooth eridian, boomed. Their voice was without a doubt the most imposing, carrying a song of authority and power, with deep base notes.
“I have been informed by navigator Polius that there is a foreign body heading towards our ship.” At that, most eridians started chittering and fidgeting, singing notes of fear, anxiety.“Foreign body?! What does that mean, question?”
“Can’t we just navigate away, question?"
“So it’s an asteroid.”
“Is it dangerous, question? What do we do, question?!”
“We should not let fear invade our inner thoughts- let us focus and think, not about the bad, but about the opportunity this shall grant us. Everything is but a test that we should take in stride with wit and-”
“Oh, honk the hell up!”
“Excuse me-?!”
Honk- scratch, screech!
…“So, how do we deal with it, question?”
“I say we investigate, statement.”◈
Or, how eridians actually discovered radiation before going to save their sun, and Rocky's crew didn't die.
