Rocky watch crew many days. Crew not wake up.

I like her more and more.

[loki-zen]

has anyone considered that it was probably her house too. where else was she supposed to put her chintz?

grace 100% needs fire in his enclosure, both because its genuinely important and because i want the eridians to freak the fuck out forever

[dreamsrunfaster]

grace like "okay buddy hear me out because you are nOT gonna like this. I gotta heat my food. It's the literal evolutionary basis of my people. We have two options."

"Yes yes yes."

"....fire or radiation."

*unholy screeching*

[swordtit]

the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

[cowardsexual]

my #StrattTake is that there should be an event horizon to her character once the last big decisions are made (forcing grace on the mission, signing the last orders, etc) after which the hail mary's launch is largely out of her hands where she becomes exponentially more self destructive with every second that passes

Long ride back to Erid

[tuherrus]

only us.

[tuherrus]

only us.

[demontouched]

we know that there's heroin on the ship. we also know that grace likely suffered from scurvy, rickets, and starvation toward the end of the trip to erid. put those two facts together and we get a grace who is hooked on heroin because it helps the pain of slowly, slowly dying. when the supply runs out... well. rocky gets to see the horrors of withdrawl up close and personal.

a monumentally epic fist-bump situation

I remember as a kid the nearby small town had a "computer expert" who had a full storefront and office. If someone bricked their computer or it loaded with viruses he'd factory reset it for them and try to get it working again. He'd also buy, refurbish, rest, and resell old computers. But the main thing he advertised was if people brought him a computer and a list of programs they wanted installed on it he'd get them all set up. Flat rate of like 20 bucks.

Didn't realize until I was older and like, looking back on some of the tech stuff my mom needed help with and knew more about how software is priced that he was pirating it. Guy had a whole business set up where people who didn't know how computers worked would pay him 20 bucks to install Microsoft Office on their laptop because it was cheaper than buying it in the store and they didn't want to be bothered with figuring out how to install programs even if they could afford them normally. Like that guy was practically printing money well into the early 2000s. Very good hustle. Only small business owner I respect.

The rest of the space is going to be pretty pissed when they see this.

Also I found the answer for why Rocky didn't die of radiation poisoning despite spending 46 years at Tau Ceti and presumably repairing things all over the place during that time:
