Ryland ‘the beanbag is lava!!’ Grace was absolutely around for the loomband craze. He’s telling his students to stop doing those 3AM challenges because they keep falling asleep in his class. He’s putting on low-quality homemade internet videos about the electromagnetic spectrum. He surprises his class with an science themed escape-room building assignment when that escape room craze was going around

Look I’m no expert on Eridian biology but it’d be heartbreaking if the radiation sickness went into a latent period for some of the crew members. Rocky watching one of the scientists get their energy back and rushing around to check on all their equipment, thinking that they’re getting better and practically wailing in relief, only for them to later collapse against the strings of the ship, a dissonant chord. Leaving Rocky alone to keep sole vigil for the bodies that will never wake up.

I think Grace would speak softly all the time by the time he lives on Erid because Rocky and all the other Eridians can hear him no matter what volume he speaks at. I think one day he shouts in surprise when one of his students sneaks up on him after class and his voice cracks really embarrassingly because he hasn’t raised his voice above 70 decibels for 5 years
