Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:
βGrace says he would like half of dome to be water.β
βOh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?β
Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. βNo. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.β
βTell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.β
βNo. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.β
βWHY QUESTION???β
To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.
βGrace want this liquid for celebration.β
βOf course.β They scan it. βYou have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.β
βYes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.β
βWHY QUESTION?????β
Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.
Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
