    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Trying to prolong screen time until your parents eventually notice you're awake and put you to bed—

    “Who dressed you? Megamind?” Senkuu glanced at Stanley for backup. “And your Predator cosplay, seriously? Did you enable all this?”

    “I did no such thing,” Stanley raised his hands in mock surrender.

    Senkuu pinched the bridge of his nose when Xeno only huffed, turning away from Senkuu like he was the petulant child in this dynamic. “What did I say about being evil while I was gone?”

    —but it's world domination plans and your pseudo-son holding you accountable.
