    Summary

    "...emitting a radio frequency, I tuned into it expecting little more than feedback, maybe due to a magnetic inbalance-”

    “And??”

    Wordlessly, they flick a switch, and the noise is played loud enough for the entire room to hear it. 

    “Please,” a voice sobs, “Please, it hurts- I'm scared, I just- please, I just want to live. Why doesn't anyone else want that? Why can't I- I want to-” it breaks off into more sobbing and the room practically vibrates with tension. 

    “That-! That is the language spoken by Engineer Rocky's Grace! That is HUMAN language!”

    “Yes.”

    “There is a human down there?? That shouldn't be-”

    “But there is. What now?”

    Summary

    Grace finds himself, no longer busy, standing listlessly at Simon's bedside again. Reaching for his wrist to feel his pulse. It's an odd sort of tactile comfort. An additional confirmation that he's alive, he's fine - even if the monitor plainly displays it. Just the contact is nice, even through the bandages (which are less bloody, Armando must've changed them).

    It sends an odd thrill up Grace's spine. A weird giddiness. Makes him lightheaded. Buzzes beneath his skin. Pathetic, right? That's how he feels despite how well he knows that humans are social creatures and, by nature, require physical contact. Touch is something he's been deprived of. Severely. And now Simon is just miraculously here, with warm skin and blood in his vessels and a steady heart rate.

    Or, Grace deals with everything that comes with having another person aboard the Hail Mary. Another person who showed up without any logical explanation, severely injured and afraid.

    Summary

    Grace starts feeling suspicious and like he's being left out and kept in the dark by the Eridians, who start building a new biodome right next to his. He could never guess what the "surprise" the Eridians keep mentioning actually is, though.

    AKA The Eridians introducing Grace and Simon like zoos introduce two animals of the same species - slowly but surely.
