    Summary

    “I'm good. Just have a slight headache,” Grace muttered, knowing he wasn’t fooling Rocky by insisting he was totally and completely fine, “Gonna get some medication in me, lay down for a few minutes, then I’ll be right as rain.”

    “Grace said body was good. Head pain was not mentioned. Rocky no understand rain statement; explain, question?”

    Rocky rolled behind Grace as he started back toward the medbay, resigned to his fate as another pulse of pain shot through his skull. He tried to shake it off, clearing his throat, “Right as rain means…uh, ‘good as new,’ I guess? Does that make sense?”

    He stumbled over a discarded jumpsuit on the floor, hissing when his already bruised knees dug into the metal floor. God, he was really stupid like this, huh?

    “Grace wrong as rain now.”

     

    (Grace has a migraine, Rocky helps as best as he can.)

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.
