    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    *****************

    Ford finds the recordings by accident.

    He blinks at them, confused by their sheer number and the dates he can see in the file descriptions. Apparently these are recordings that start the day he went into the portal and end about two weeks after. There are so many, it’s kind of ridiculous and Ford immediately sets out to delete all of them because, Dear Multidimensional Gods, these recordings must be responsible for all the lagging he’s been experiencing ever since he started working on the computers. How did Stanley even work like this? Why didn’t he already delete them or put them on an external disc?

    “Because Stanley doesn’t know about them,” Ford says out loud, his finger pausing over the delete button.

    He suddenly remembers what this is.

    ********
    Stanley told them about the years after the portal incident. There is a good reason he didn't go into detail about the immediate aftermath.

    Too bad Ford finds out anyway.
