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
I’ll figure something out. Something else. I have the best lab in the world (or, well, the best lab ever made on Earth), I have all the reference materials a guy could want, I am smart and I have a very smart friend who is very dedicated to keeping me alive. I’ll be alright. I’ll find a way. I’ll—
“If you awake,” Rocky says suddenly, startling me again. “You say ‘if you awake’. There is another option, question?”
…Have I mentioned that he is very smart?
Sometimes it’s not a good thing!
Or: going into a coma on the way to Erid might be Grace's best shot at survival. No one on the ship likes the idea.

Summary
“So, it’s a weird phenomenon. We’re not even sure the Ricks know about it,” she explained absently as she worked through all the knots in Muscle’s longer hair. “We call it a tingle, ‘cause that’s what it feels like. A tingle down your spine, kind of like ASMR or electricity or whatever. Only Morty’s feel it.”
Intrigued, Morty rocked forward just a bit. The idea of knowing something Rick didn’t was too good to pass up. “Wait, really?”
“Yeah,” Muscles agreed, closing his eyes as he tipped his head back. “It happens when you lock eyes with the Rick from your dimension. It tells you that it’s your Rick. The lamest superpower ever.”
Morty blinked. That sounded…weird.
————
Or, the one in which it’s a plot device, and that means Chekov’s gun is gonna have to fire at some point.
(Two times Rick was Morty’s grandpa by default, and once when he finally, finally gets to choose.)

Summary
"Grandpa," she starts, "the Asshole Rick—" she ignores Jerry's scandalised look—"he said Morty was his, uh, his grandson? I mean, isn't that obvious? I don't know why he really emphasised that."
"Oh, yeah." They're so close to the rift; from the edges of her vision, Summer can see the innards of the multiverse, the terrible—beautiful—clashes of colours as it warps around a nonexistent nexus. "Should've p-probably brought it up earlier, Sum-Sum, but—Morty's his actual grandson. Like, in the fucking flesh and blood."

Summary
Ever since the destruction of the Central Finite Curve, Rick has been careful not to go out to space. That is, until Morty's original Rick tracks him down, and kidnaps him. Suddenly vulnerable to intergalactic threats, Rick C-137 races to rescue him- or die trying.
-------"Come on, tell me. What is it that makes you choose C-137 over me? I mean, if I know that asshole- and I am that asshole- then this is the exact same thing he always did. He used you as a shield."
"He never had to- ung- electrocute me for it!"
"He's driven you through war zones while you panicked. It amounts to the same thing."
"Yeah, well, my Rick-"
"Your Rick?" Gramps rolls his eyes. "When are you going to get it? Ricks don't belong to Mortys."
