    Summary

    "Do you think Grace knows all the people propositioning him are asking him to have sex with them?” She asks, insistent, and Mark chokes on his juice.
    “Fucking what?” He gasps out, as Lewis comes over, drawn by the familiar sound of Mark making a fool of himself in public, and pats him long-sufferingly on the back. “They’re what?”

    Or,

    Mark thinks Grace is willfully oblivious, Grace is laughing at Mark, the Ares crew are the world's worst enablers, and Mindy and Rocky are, as usual, sick of everyone's shit

    Rocky's main specialty was engineering, definitely not understanding aliens from a different solar system.

    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    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.

    “Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.
