If these questions have already been answered, sorry, but how did Simon get onto Erid in your AU? And how did they make his biodome so tailored to him like they did Grace? Again, sorry if they've already been answered or if you haven't thought much of it. I'm just an overthinker >.<
I’m so glad you asked this! I have thought it out to some amount of detail, but some details are still not completely fleshed out.
So as mentioned in this ask post, Adrian was the one who rescued Simon.
Sometime between the time that Blip-A arrived at Tau Ceti and before the Hail Mary arrived, Adrian and another small crew was sent out to investigate an unusual signal picked up from an unknown space station. At this point the Blip-A crew had taken a longer than expected time on the Tau Ceti mission — Adrian assumed the worse happened to Rocky.
The signal they picked up seems to talk about the future. It mentions the Quiet Rapture, the vanishing of stars and planets, and potential information on the reasoning behind it on the Blood Moon.
Desperate for as much information as the Eridians can gather (as well as Adrian’s personal desire to gain any information linked to what happened to their mate and Blip A), the Eridians head to the Blood Moon.
TLDR: some physics, magic, shinanigans happen — they meet/rescue Simon and head back to Erid (In my mind, the Blood Moon is closer to Erid than Tau Ceti, so Simon would actually arrive on Erid first)
The second portion, of your question: how did they tailor Simon’s biodome with all the trees. Inspired by the Pando Forest, a lot of the trees identical clones of the tree grown from Simon’s pendant. All other plants and greenery are genetically modified from the seed or native Eridian plants. Simon gets more plants from the Hail Mary after Grace and Rocky arrive :)!
Now how did they discover stuff like soil and other environmental factors to help Simon in growing plants and getting comfortable? … I didn’t think that far lol. Science.
At some point, I contemplated making a spinoff comic with this information on how Adrian and Simon met. But there’s still a bunch of holes I probably didn’t think through. So tentatively, this is the (non-canon, canon) lore of the biodome neighbors au.
I’m totally open to other interpretations or ideas on how Simon got to Erid and how his biodome was formed! I love reading everyone’s interpretations of everything :D!
