Hilarious BloodyMary idea but honestly the ship doesn’t really appear for a while, bear with me on this.
So Adrian gets way too worried about Rocky while they’re separated and decides to shoot themself into space to follow after him. Maybe they’re alone, maybe others who were family of Rocky’s crew came with, idk. Point is, they miss Rocky by a week or so and only find the remains of the ship.
Through the remains they piece together that the whole crew is dead and believe Rocky is also dead but not from the radiation, but from the human Rocky called friend. Maybe or maybe not on purpose, dealer’s choice. (Rocky’s on his way home to where he THINKS Adrian is with Grace in tow, and can’t fix this misunderstanding rip)
Adrian is enraged and decides since Rocky is gone they have nothing waiting for them back on Erid and continues on to Earth to get answers, thinking Grace will be there
So Adrian gets there while only understanding pieces of broken English, whatever Rocky left on the ship of how to communicate with his human and whatever translation program they can cobble together.
Earth is understandably freaked by this alien ship appearing and there’s WILD miscommunication going on with Adrian demanding answers and Earth trying to defend itself, idc. What I was thinking is Earth tries to give Adrian a prisoner they don’t mind sacrificing to appease them and Adrian being more enraged by the idea that they would kill someone unjustly.
Adrian returns to Erid with their own emotional support human Simon
