Do you ever think about how canonically there was a camera rolling in the cockpit during the entire Taumoeba Fishing scene, and the footage might've made it onto the Beatles. The people on Earth might've seen it, seen how close it was. "The sky is just slightly on fire." The alarms starting to blare. Rocky screaming in horror as Grace almost dies retrieving the collector. The moment the fuel starts migrating. Grace losing consciousness. Rocky risking everything just to save him. I am going to SCREAM can you imagine watching that and it being real???? Watching with baited breath, knowing it was all okay in the end but not knowing yet how scary it was for them, how dangerous, how it even happened. How much it hurt. I'm gonna be sick.

It all made sense at the time sure, needing to develop certain traits and behaviours to guarantee better survival over the centuries. But it’s still weird, Grace thinks. Some have translated well into the modern era while others seem a little out of place.
Curiosity and social bonding are obviously top of the list for things humans still maintain. Humanity certainly wouldn’t have gotten into space without their drive for exploration. Pack bonding stems from a survivalist mentality - safety in numbers and all that. When he mentioned this to Rocky years ago he didn’t expect anything to really come from it. He has Rocky, and by that extension he has Adrian. The whole planet had already collectively decided to make him his own biosphere too, he really doesn’t need more than that. Instead they make him a part of several scientific thrums and give him a classroom to teach their children. He loves it.
Grace is a scientist through and through, he’ll always want to question and experiment. Living on Erid has not diminished that curiosity whatsoever. If anything, Grace thinks with frequent amusement, it’s made it worse. He’s learning from the Eridians as much as they’re learning from him, after all.
He has a dedicated thrum of Eridians not only working on his Dome around the clock, but also just a bunch of different thrums wanting to come and get his opinion on things which is really cool. He likes it when he gets to sit in a circle of Eridian scientists and discuss the next generation of space craft.
And Adrian has been helping with some of the environmental experiments much to Rocky’s anxious tapping. One experiment with making sand for his beach leaves Grace warm and overheated, so he takes off a few layers of clothing before the sweating gets worse.
Why Grace wet, question? Not water used in the experiment today.
“I’m sweating - it’s a thing humans do to regulate their internal temperature. Kinda like your steam I guess.”
Grace…makes water to cool body down, question?
“Eh close enough. Why?”
…Adrian did not believe Rocky’s description of “wet leaky space blob.” Should have listened to Rocky, statement.
“Hey now.”
And then without even realising it, Grace is noting habits and patterns in his new home and the Eridians that maintain it. Obviously he can recognize everyone by shape and color alone, but now he can recognize most by sound - the pitch of their individual voices and songs, specific gaits and the little individualized thinking taps they all seem to do (it’s honestly the most adorable thing and Grace loves it so much) as they circle around and perform their tasks. The same habits are naturally extended to his students.
“Ari, please get back to your assigned seat.”
Ari - a small obsidian colored pebble whose name in Eridian actually sounds like the human name Ari - lets out an embarrassed squeak as he quickly jumps back to his assigned area. Ari is the closest thing to a “troublemaker” Grace has had for an Eridian student. He honestly just really likes sitting with his sibling, but in doing so they both get distracted a little too easily. So Grace had been forced to separate them. Now Ari is taking this as a challenge to get back to their sibling whenever he thinks Grace isn’t paying attention.
Teacher Grace, your back was turned! How you know it was me, question?
Oh he has never been more tempted to make a “eyes in the back of my head” joke in his life. But he knows it’ll only be met with confusion and the little pebbles actually thinking he has another set of eyes somewhere on his person.
“My hearing may not be as good as yours, but I can still hear you even if I’m not looking at you.”
Every student has their own unique set of sounds and footsteps that he memorises fairly easily the first few weeks of the new school year. Grace has also become very good at pinpointing where any foreign sounds are coming from in his Dome before any of the engineers can. He’s lived in this space for 16 years now, he knows what sounds are normal and which ones are not.
“Hey Adrian, I heard this noise from the power lines on the south side last night?”
New noise? I'll go find Moss!
“Sure - they’ll be up on the north side of the cliffs at this point.”
...how Grace know this?
One of the Dome designers - fondly named Moss from their moss agate coloration - has a very distinct gait that Grace can recognise anywhere now. Two heavy feet in front followed by a slight drag as they leverage their two back feet forward, always using their fifth leg to hold equipment. The sound and tempo reminds him of when one of his students had to use crutches for a few months after breaking his leg. They come by three times a week at exactly the same time and maneuver through the same winding path along the cliff edges, checking for erosion and other potential environmental flaws. Grace can pretty accurately time his morning coffee to the sound of them in the morning.
It means he also leaves very distinct foodprints along the cliff trails. Grace can track him down pretty quickly without even thinking about it, much to the alarm of Moss and their fellow designers. It’s become a bit of a game now.
How does Human Grace always find us!!??
Eridian’s are not used to sand at all so it makes tracking them down much easier. Not that Grace will tell them that at first. Let him have his fun darn it. And then Rocky gets all up in arms about it and decides to test Grace’s ability to find Eridians hiding in his dome like some sort of bizarre game of Hide and Seek.
He finds all six of the hiding Eridians, plus one who wasn’t hiding and was just trying to do its work for the day. Oops.
Eridians are apex predators. Humans, despite considering ourselves the top of the food chain, actually fall into the same trophic level as pigs and anchovies—tertiary omnivores.
But humans are pursuit predators. And Eridians seem more likely to be ambush predators.
What I'm saying is on that years-long trip to Erid there were absolutely several instances of Rocky & Grace doing something that was absolutely terrifying to the other one and then having to be like "oh yeah no that's normal. Sorry."
Humans need some amount of ambient radiation to survive, aka UV from the Sun, so we can function properly. Meaning that the eridians had to add UV to the light systems on Grace's dome. But considering eridians were not built for nearly as much ambient radiations as Earth lifeforms have, it wouldbe harmful for them on the long-run. So consider:
They turn off the UV whenever an eridian is inside the dome, and Grace can feel it if he's outside. That's how he has about 5 minutes of a heads-up before Rocky is knocking on his door;
They put light filters on the xenonite suits, meaning Grace can make a thousand different sunglasses jokes whenever Rocky shows up with the smoked up paneled suit;
They put a sunroom where the UV lamps are and Grace can go there for his daily dose of sunrays. It's also where he goes to bully Rocky with a friendly cold shoulder, since he can't come inside.
Rocky should have an identical twin and they conspire to prank Grace so the twin goes to visit him pretending they’re Rocky but Grace instantly knows it’s not cause they’re different colors despite being the exact same shape and texture.

Do you guys think once eridians learn what humans look like grace essentially becomes their blueprint for like. Their equivalent of little green men with big black eyes. Like he becomes the stereotypical "alien" form. And like. They make little toys that look like him. There's kids with alien themed birthday parties where the erid-equivalent of balloons are like a shitty shape of grace. Every human in every eridian scifi novel wears glasses because they just assumed they all have those. Like. I love grace as a beloved teacher and scientist and savior of worlds with his face on statues and monuments but like. What if his face was on shitty tourist traps too.
this morning i'm thinking about grace teaching the eridian scientists about evolution on earth, more specifically how some animals on earth have echolocation and that's why he had an easier time understanding their primary sense than they did his. and also that some animals that live in no light environments evolve to stop having light sensing entirely and animals who live in both high and low light environments can have both.
which makes grace wonder if there are eridian upper-atmosphere life forms that have light sense, and if any of the species that travel between the biomes have both.
the next thing rocky knows grace and the eridian scientists are conducting all kinds of experiments on upper-atmosphere life forms trying to see if there's something eridian biologists missed because they couldn't conceptualize a biological process.
rocky about to beat skulls in because they need to become human experts first so they can keep grace alive permanently and with confidence! the eridian scientists only survive because grace plays the "it's enrichment" card and rocky has to grumbly relent.

Daily reminder to Americans on this website that American war on Iran is bad because Iranians are getting killed not because you can no longer afford going to the movies in the weekends or refill your car 😒
