yeah that's right, rocky full sentences time.

i also need you all to know the actual translation of "pebble" isnt like the small rock pebble, it does literally translate to "baby" and simon would hear it as "baby". i wrote "pebble" because grace translated eridian babies as "pebbles" for his own amusement. therefore: you, the viewer, get the grace terminology.

Rocky was in space for 50 years of course the recuperation period is long and hard

I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.

close ups (+ transcript) \/

^ simon is making it up to rocky, helping him fix rocky's bed. this takes MUCH less time to do than when grace initially helped build it, despite 1 less limb in the equation

^ simon and grace are divvying up the clothes they have, seeing who gets what and which clothes they're gonna share. simon basically says "whatever" to "owning" any of the clothes options, despite grace's best effort to get simon to claim some clothes for his own

^ grace and rocky have a show they've been watching episodically day by day (just as an activity for them to look forward to and not go stir crazy), and damn them if some blood covered mutant human is gonna break their streak. you can headcannon for yourself what show it is

Theories: 1. They're an independent group of scientists that are paid to do illegal experiments by 3rd parties. Explains why they're lying about their experiments (you can't just "save stars") and maybe Rocky (Robot made by Grace? ACTUAL alien?) Will likely do psychological experiments on me, may have already started. Keep on your toes.

2. We're on the other side of the QR. Don't wanna think about this one too much, it'll hurt if it turns out to be wrong.

3. Honestly not sure about time travel. I never learned much about Earth history, but the year they're telling me (2026/2039 ad, EIC started around 1990ad I think?) makes no sense. They seemed confused when I used EIC and IMC. Our historical timelines don't match, but it's be bizarre to lie about...

you should all be so proud of me, i did real math. kudos to anyone who figures out why i used those numbers/what they mean specifically. also i thought too much about simon's first time in years eating Food With Flavor so i made a mini comic \/

What I've picked up on: 1. They can't be hallucinations. There's no way I could make any of this up. I'm not sure the Eel would stoop this low either.

2. They're RICH. Food, oxygen, water, plants <- they feel like the Mother

Food may be a problem, though. I eavesdropped.

3. They're scientists and they wanna experiment on me. Haven't said it out loud, but I can read between the lines. Guess I gotta prepare for that.

4. They're both from planets, Grace is directly from Earth. The idea of not being from Earth specifically is foreign (No space colonization?)

5. They're the only ones on the ship. Other crew seem to have died (there's 3 human beds)

6. Definitely not Eden, probably not COI. They care about "progress" like the COI, but the COI wouldn't waste this amount of resources on 3 people
