Ok, some scientific discrepancies:
1. Linguistic: Eridian shouldn’t have a word for ‘Blip-A’ (since it’s just ‘ship’). When Grace asks the ship’s name, Rocky’s answer doesn’t make sense.
2. Linguistic: there’s no need to use the Eridian word for ‘mark’ instead of ‘period’
3. Math: counting in base-6 doesn’t just round our nearest base-10 decimal to 6! B10 80 rounds up to 84 (B6 220).

Also, medically speaking, 6 hours of intubation does jack-all if Grace truly suffered from inhalational burn injury lol

Is there anything better than linguistics and science fiction? Every chapter with Rocky is simply delightful.
