Earth is and always has been alive, and the creatures that call it home, call it mother, name it – Earth consumes their existence. This is not a thing beyond time; for the life clinging to its flesh, Earth is and always has been – all of time, all of existence, condensed into the eyes green as its heart of the boy it loved more than any other.

"Where is everyone, anyway? If this is a wreck, or some accident, there should be bodies at least. A full evac of a ship this size in event of an emergency…there’s no way everyone would make it off.”
“If there even was an emergency,” Luida shrugged, taking the next left, “maybe rather than scrap it or destroy it, this ship was merely abandoned and it drifted its way into inner-space.”
Brad grabbed her arm and she flinched. He pointed ahead. Two sets of glowing eyes watched them from the dim end of the corridor.

Summary
Across from Roy, his unit, and the Elrics, was a strange… thing. It had the vague shape of a human, but instead of flesh and blood, it was emptiness. It was the void around them compressed, forming something of nothing. The featureless face suddenly split, an eerie toothed grin that made Roy’s hair stand on end. Run, his instincts shrieked, even as they despaired: Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, you can’t hide, not from that.
“Long time no see, Truth.”
“Ah, ~Li-ttle Al-che-mist~! So nice of you to drop by!”
…
Roy Mustang had never quite figured out if the Elric brothers were a blessing or a curse. After this particular chain of events, he came to understand it was neither, God just found them amusing.

Summary
Grace's rules for dealing with unwanted alien enthralment:
- if u fail any of the checks, follow the rules regardless of how much you think it isn't necessary. Do so until you are safe, alone, and certain that you are no longer failing any of the checks. If there's room for doubt, you're compromised. Don't argue with me on this, future Grace.
- If you can, reach out to a trusted third party who is unlikely to have fallen to the same compulsion you have and do exactly as they say. Do not question or argue, because that's exactly what the thing that compromised you will want.
- If you can't find a trusted figure, do what you can to follow the plan on your own. Trust nobody, just focus on the next task, even if you no longer think it's a good idea.
- If you're blocked from progressing on the next task on your own, try to identify and remove whatever is blocking you.
- If you can't find the roadblock, try to find and remove the source of the mental compromise. This is the most dangerous fallback option, but the affini are apex predators and may not always leave you a safe way out. Be careful. If running will save you, then run.

"...The worst part is when you'll pull Hod's corpse out of the water."
