My blog, with more fandoms

grace tells Rocky about Shadow puppets.

OC idea, what if Grace wakes up but he's not along and he's with a crewmate who is deaf and alive and with him. Grace would learn fast, despite his memory loss in how to communicate with them but it's hard to so that, so for the first few days after the both of them get drunk and pass out, they have to work together and Grace has to learn and relearn ASL to communicate with their crewmate.

things go fine and they adapt until, until they meet rocky and OC has no idea how to communicate with someone who's senses are reliant on Echolocation.

Rocky finds the concept hard, because hearing and echolocation the major senses they can use and with an alien that cannot hear, Rocky would find it hard to comminate too, let alone ASL is near impossible with how the Eridian can move their hands and feet so Rocky would have to develop with Grace means of effective communication with OC.

Rocky may learn how to sense ASL, but cannot do it back so they have to get creative. Maybe tap/vibration-based talking, like Morse code on a tablet that OC has that responds, maybe something visual, or maybe Grace gets them their own board to use.

So many options and something that totally should be explored.

or

maybe it's not even an OC, what if Grace was accidently deafened during the shockwaves that destroyed the scientists buildings? or when he was chased down and kidnapped.

Waking up alone, no memory and no hearing... that's gotta be devastating. A journey to heal and adapt, and not even able to hear mary unless the medical bot is prepared in advanced with his new disability.

do you think some human conditions horrify the Eridians when humans get older.

As a species that cannot forget, dementia must be a horrifying to witness as a concept.

If grace develops it in his old age, not only does he forget Rocky and when or where he is, his mind also regresses; old in body, but younger in mind...

Tiny, leaking alien baby

Grace stared down at the Xeonite bubble that had been brought in, but it was not uncommon for Rocky or their scientists to bring items into his biodome protective bubbles given the fact they themselves would not survive his current atmosphere but... living things was new.

His blue eyes was transfixed as Opal, the lead scientist of human biology, opened it up and what he had thought (and hoped) was a cat... was a small, human baby.

His jaw dropped in astonishment at the little thing when they stopped.

Not sure if it was a boy or girl, but it was a pale little one, with curly blond hair and pink little fingers and toes. They were in a basic dress with a padded lower end, so diapered at least. Their eyes were closed, but their expression was crunched up. Size wise, they looked to be about 4 months old.

"What.... is this?" Grace just about managed, already reaching into the bubble and oh... they were warm and so soft. He had almost forgotten what human touch felt like. He couldn't help it, brining it to his chest and ran a hand through the baby's hair.

"Eridian scientists have worked out full-human cloning, to give Grace the comfort of human touch that is safe." Opal said.

"You cloned me?"

"Yes. We have also located two other diverse genetic chains that have been grown and nurtured to viable embryos for future cloning." There was an element of pride in the scientists voice. "What does Grace think? Question."

Grace found himself rocking the little one, feeling it--him wiggle in their sleep. They cloned him. As in, made a baby of him for him. Honestly, he could see exactly why they thought this was a good idea and he... really wasn't sure just yet. but this little one was warm... and could feel the soft breathing against his neck. Alive.

"You have found a way to feed the baby? I am not capable of that myself." Grace asked because that was a very important question. He was a tit-less guy here. Nothing was coming out of his nips.

"Yes. We made human-Pebble formular, based on data retrieved from the Earth portable thinking machine. We have equipment to recycle and clean and ensure the little Grace has means to survive. Grace Pebble was removed from the grow tank seven hours ago, but grown longer than traditional human Pebble due to the natural restrictions the human uterus will allow within a human body. The Grace Pebble is more developed and safer for Eridians to transport here."

Grace closed his eyes, rocking the little one as he wiggled and seemed to wake up with a grumble.

"You're going to need a name," Grace whispered down to the baby. "but that can come later." A little hand reached up, catching his glasses. "Thank you.... i don't know how i feel about the baby just yet but... Thank you." seemed the polite thing to do in this whole weird situation, even if he really wasn't sure about the ethical side of this.

"Rocky will come later. Rocky and Adrian very excited about the human Pebbles." Opal said, "They were not sure if human pebble will react poorly with too many around them. Human Pebble very loud when born. But cries are good; their lungs work well."

"I guess I'll find that out later." Grace chuckled.

tbh, this is mostly a one-shot but let me know if ya want more of this or nor. I've not written for this fandom before so.

What if the Eridians, wanting to help grace cope with isolation from human contact by cloning him entirely.

I read a post where they create something for him to hug which is basically like a warm, human-like doll that freaks Grace out bc they didn't warn him before hand what they were making. Plus, uncanny valley

What if they just opt to create a whole new living human for him to touch and hug and interact with. A clone of him, sure. but it's only physical replication, so Grace would probably have to educate the clone.

Ooh, better yet, what if the clone is still a young child or a baby, so it's a kid he gets to raise without the burden of sex or a partner.

Over time, maybe they perfected a clone that is able to survive long-term effects of Erid gravity by making minor alterations. Maybe, with Yao's DNA and Ilyukhina's DNA is still onboard, somewhere, that they could be cloned as well and raised in Grace's Biodome?

Grace gets human contact, a varieties of new faces and personalities. Plus, the eridians get to see how humans grow and develop.

Rocky see's human baby; tiny, leaking, loud space blob. Cute cute cute.
