Being an Eridian scientist has to be so funny. You train your entire life as a biologist, becoming specialized in your field, probably giving lectures or educational speeches to other Eridians, and then the star savior Rocky comes home with his weird pet dog. Your job is now to cultivate food so the weird dog who is the age of average baby doesn’t die. The dog also saved the stars. Your job is making dog food out of the dog. You also learn that you and the dog have the same job. You are the happiest scientist on Erid.

diabolical concept: eridians typically do not move the bodies of their deceased from where that person chose to pass. the land reclaims them within a few years, anyway. but when rocky returns home, he amends his last will and testament to ask that his body be moved into grace’s biodome if he dies before grace. he wants to give grace a chance to finally make contact with his carapace without it injuring either of them. when grace finds out, he amends his own testament to do the inverse. rocky’s body would fare better in the biodome than grace’s body outside of it, but either way, they eventually get to make contact without the grief of causing pain.
