    Summary

    "Without thinking of it, Grace makes it through two and three fourths of a bag of coffee. Rookie numbers. The taste didn't get better, but it was something new, almost comforting in how demanding it was of his senses. It shushed that little voice telling him if he had to see another white spaceship panel, or taste taumoeba again, he would throw himself into the nearest star’s orbit."
    ...
    Grace remembers he can drink coffee, and immediately regrets it.

    Summary

    Somewhere between Adrian and Erid, Rocky invents the xenosuit to help Grace. It turns out they both needed it.

    "The thing about sharing a spaceship with a guy in a hamster ball is you end up doing the grunt work. So here we are, en route to an alien planet, and I am once again hanging off the side of the dang ship. At least this time I’m securely fastened and not watching us sink toward our doom."

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
