Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

Summary
Lio Fotia isn’t usually lost for words. But to be fair, he doesn't usually have Galo Thymos kneeling at his feet, struggling to unbutton the tiny buttons of his fanciest ruffled shirt.
~~~
A sequel to “Tyger, Tyger,” in which Galo and Lio finally go on a date! You’ll never guess what happens next

Summary
“I hate you and everything you stand for,” Lio says from his seat on the edge of the chair.
His physical therapist grins at him, unflappably perky. “Just five more reps on each side, Lio,” she says. “You can do it.”
He glares at her.
“This is ridiculous,” he says. “I used to be able to conjure a motorcycle out of thin air. I walked up walls. I danced on sword points. And you’ve got me doing leg lifts. I should be… I should be out of here, working on behalf of my people. I should be doing literally anything except fucking leg lifts.”

Summary
Galo hadn’t meant to go looking for Heroes of Promepolis: The Porno Cut. He probably wouldn’t have found out it existed at all if Lio hadn’t gotten so bent out of shape about it.
So really, the whole thing was Lio’s fault.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
“Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.”
“Cannibalism,” I manage to get out.
“New word. Cannibalism.”
