So how about that last time quangle huh?

But then they arrive on Erid, Grace gets his biodome, all is going well, but then Grace leans his head to the side, stretches and...

CRUNCH!

The biodome control room dissolves into high-pitched panic. Did the alien savior just get damaged? Did the structural support holding his round head bone snap?! Is he in pain, urgent question??

But Grace just yawns and continues working on the human thinking machine. Amaze. But also scary.

The most respected Eridian specialist on humans is called - Rocky, of course. Not only because he spent way more time with the alien than anyone else, but also because he would go on a rampage if something happened to his friend.

Rocky reviews the recording of the crunch and assures the scientists that it's fine, this is the good crunch, not a bad crunch.

Eridians can't really stare, but it certainly feels like it.

"What is good crunch, question? And how does Rocky know the difference from the bad crunch?"

Rocky thinks for a moment. Then he raises his claw - stupid human gestures, he will never get rid of this one - and gets his xenonite suit.

That is how Grace spends the next two hours demonstrating good crunches and cracks, bad crunches, neutral crunches and very concerning crunches to a fascinated and slightly nauseated group of Eridian scientists. Rocky is directing him, of course, but when Grace starts explaining that he can't produce indefinite crunches in all his joints, that most of them rely on gas bubbles releasing from the joints, Rocky promptly concludes the session, claiming "humans design is flawed, no more gas bubbles today".

Grace only learns weeks later that his joints drove the whole science division to gambling. They apparently bet on the upcoming crunch and its nature.

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

In the book somewhere in the tunnel scenes (so I hear) rocky freaks out that grace returns later than he agreed because he slept in. That implies that rocky couldn't hear the ship from his part of the tunnel.

Compared with humans that can see for MILES unless something gets in the way.

They're absolutely chucking lampposts in all kinds of weird places to see if Grace can see them from the edge of his biodome at night.

Grace: "Oh yeah, I can see Adrian at lamp 58"

For those of you who are still skeptical… let me put it this way… the highest earning CEO “earned” $156,077,912 in 2014. Let’s boil this down. There’s about 52 weeks in a year. Let’s say that he works 40 hours a week. So a total of 2,080 hours a year. That’s $75,037 an hour. The median HOUSEHOLD income in the US is $50,502 per year. He’s earning 1.5 times the amount per hour than the average household makes in a year. That disparity is absurd. To put that even further into perspective, the average NEUROLOGIST earns $219,000 a year according to a 2014 statistic. Every single one of the CEOs on the 100 highest paid CEOs earn at least 93 TIMES the amount that a NEUROLOGIST makes. 

Also @dullgecko put me onto the Aasimar Riz AU series by @whatisamildopinion and I am going quietly insane over it so here please have some fanart for it and go read it it's fucking amazing
