Houseki no Kuni

>it's the same room
That's what I said. Still I initially thought that it was the same rehab room he was put together into, which would mean it was the ground floor and anyone could take a look from outside.
This page instead confirms sleeping Laphos was put back into his room, which should be in their sleeping quarters way up, so that takes out the possibility of someone peeking in.

Speaking of, crackpot theory but I wonder if Aechmea personally descended upon the Earth in that second sunspot to confirm the kill, considering Phos emphasized how unusual the Lunarian was.

Maybe we'll get to see Aechmea's sunspot/earth form when he personally goes to Earth and seeing him will remind Phos of Antarc's capture.

GENOCIDE YET?

This is the school's general outfit, the anime changes it around a little bit but the only significant difference is the hibernation room being its own building instead.

I like the idea that so much weird shit happened to Phos in the span of such a little time had a design behind it since it's been popular speculation for years, way back since Phos first came to the moon and Aechmea's "I have a hunch you will". The way Aechmea phrases it this chapter sounds like he pretty much threw shit at Phos in the hope it stuck, but yeah he sounds too much of a keikaku, going as far as citing Parappa and Ghost's contributions.
I would be more on board with it if it made clear that the whole incident with the slugs was the turning point since as you said it was impossible to manufacture.

He probably had an eye on Phos for some time, seeing she was a jobless loser not fitting anywhere. Maybe they even tried to kidnap him at the Hollow Cape, but Shinsha was there.

I doubt the whole slug thing was aimed at Phos specifically. It was too random to predict and plan.
Antarc death was definitely a planned operation, with Sensei being slowed down and the second ship on standby. Moonman knew they'd try to scavenge some material after losing Phos arms.

The Aechmea keikaku also explains why so many weird things happened during Phos patrols, like Shiro or the boardgame. Ghost probably was killed off on purpose too.

I think the weird ones from Antarc's capture were the big bodyguard lunarians that have been around Cairn on the moon, they're bigger than the others but not Cicada big. Aechmea's Earth form is probably going to be something pretty distinctive.

I think Aechmea having a grand keikaku is fine when you consider that he's had thousands of years to think of something like this, hundreds of years with Phos specifically, and he's not telling how many times he tried before it worked. At least a few gems must have been tempted onto the moon before Phos was.

I don't really like the keikaku thing with how many random factors there have been in Phos' journey like everyone else, but I want to chip in that it's confirmed Aechmea has pretty much been tailing Phos since Ventricosus

It helps that we never really learned the specifics of the deal. It seems it might have amounted to "bring us a gem in X place at X time in exchange for Aculeatus", but Ventricosus knew that salt water would shrink her.
How was normal Vent supposed to restrict a gem and drag it to the place? The same reason also outrules the scenario where Ventricosus would willingly vore one or more gems, because her shell would've been discarded as soon as she tried to escape to the sea as well.
And since Phos could only understand and get tricked by Ventricosus after being vored, it's unlikely that the plan would revolve around that. Vent herself seemed surprised that Phos could understand her and had to guess that it happened because of the ingestion.

We probably got a glimpse of aechmea earth form during the chapter after the night raid when he got angry at crabworm.

That's probably more that he's been tailing absolutely everyone going by this chapter.
