    Summary

    “And who are you with?”

    “The Petrova Taskforce. I believe you know why we exist.”

    “I do know what the Petrova line is,” I agree. “If you’re coming to a middle school science teacher about it, I must be your Hail Mary.”

    Stratt’s face splinters into a small, sharp smile. “Yes. I believe you are.”

    Summary

    Teacher Grace cried some more. Engineer Music-Suggesting-Foundations-of-Home was quite used to it doing this, and waited patiently for it to stop.

    “It is Earth culture,” it confessed, even damper than before. “Males are not permitted to remove their own sperms. Only female humans may do that, and only to the males they own. I have never belonged to a female, so it is always painful for me.” Fluids gushed from its nose and mouth in a pitiful fashion.

    Someone tries to copyright a trope found in RPF about Grace. Meanwhile, Erid is sending a cultural exchange vessel to Earth.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.
