A massive shoutout to @thereal-sillyguy for making everyone's favorite pebble into a gif! I very literally couldn't have done it without them!

Is this some ptsd, in this economy? Kind of the second part to [THIS].

To be fair, Rocky also needed some time to correctly interpret Graces needs- (I also did Grace comforting Rocky here)

One detail from the book that didn't make it into the movie that I think is neat is that Eva Stratt did not just stumble across Ryland Grace. He was not the 'potentially disposable' option. She went to the top microbiologists in some of the best research labs in the world and was told multiple times "you know what? I think Dr. Grace might be your guy." When discussing the Petrova Problem. And this several years after his ejection from academia.

k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace “hunt” him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isn’t trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes

only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isn’t which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like “got youuu” and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life

if i can add a layer to this i wanna headcanon that Erid did have persistence predators way way back in the day but were regrettably hunted into extinction (back when their science was more underdeveloped. erid may be better than earth in a lot of aspects but they're not perfect)

so the idea of an animal/predator that follows you slowly until you have no choice but to risk sleeping or die from exhaustion is basically the eridian equivalent of a campfire story

so when Rocky returns home with an alien who's a persistence predator (more than that, a persistence predator that conquered their planet this way) it's like he revived some eldritch monster believed to have been vanquished

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)
