Rescue of Rocky

Grace uses the Hail Mary's engines as a makeshift radar to locate the derelict Blip-A. He performs a risky EVA to reach the alien ship and communicates with Rocky, who is alive but injured. Grace brings Rocky aboard the Hail Mary, and they plan to travel to Erid together. The rescue is a triumphant moment, reaffirming the power of friendship and collaboration across species. It also sets up the final challenge: getting to Erid with limited food and fuel.
