   Summary

   Yao Li-Jie is having a weird day. He has a snarky Engineer to deal with, he's the last one on the 'first-contact' train, and the amnesiac, clumsy, socially inept scientist who holds the fate of the word in his hands now comes Buy-one-get-one with a codependent, possessive rock alien with a lack of boundaries. Just great.

   • I have a HC that her English is very utilitarian and she chooses not to faff about with the finer details
   • even though she could get it right if she could be bothered
   • she jsut has more important things on her mind
   • valid
   • But yeah anways point is that I've not had a ton of experience with Russian ESOL speakers
   • And I should do more research but golly I do lots of research already
   • so for now just deal with it I guess
   • Anyway Olesya my giiiiirrrl
   • Ryland Grace Is Not Graceful
   • Ryland Grace and Rocky are Platonic Soulmates
   • Rocky is like 'I have had this human for less than two weeks but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this tunnel and then myself'

   • Mixing book canon and movie canon
   • and changing what parts about Ryland's life he remembers for comedic purposes
   • Aromantic Asexual Ryland Grace
   • Autistic Ryland Grace
   • not super relevant but I want you to know

   Summary

   Olesya Ilyukhina wakes up, panics, makes second contact, and ribs her amnesiac friend about his shitty programming skills.

   • Ryland Grace is a teacher
   • He is a GOOD teacher and he loves it and that is so important to me
   • As a teacher
   • also becoming a teacher because it's convenient at the time and staying a teacher because it turns out you love it and it's what you're made to do?
   • also me
   • As a nerd this book and movie means a lot to me
   • As a lover of human-made creations and not just letting cgi do everything this movie meant even more to me
   • As a lover of complex morally grey female characters this book and movie meant even even more to me
   • As a lver of the human capacity for love and friendship and goodness this book and movie meant even even even more to me
   • As a teacher this movie and book meant the most to me
   • Also tw child abuse
   • The book doesn’t really mention his childhood
   • so I am HC that it was bad for maximum angst potential
   • Hurt with a splash of comfort
   • is that a tag? It is now!
   • Also Ryland gives his crew cute nicknames. I don’t make the rules

   Summary

   It's coma time. The characters have feelings about it.

   • Medical Inaccuracies
   • probably
   • attempt at linguistic accuracy when accounting for transfer errors from Russian
   • Major Character Death tag is canonical don't worry

   Summary

   Ryland Grace is diagnosed with an agressive cancer while working with the Hail Mary Project on earth. This makes him a lot more at peace with the idea of his own death, but very reluctant to go on the ship for other reasons. Stratt is being oddly optimistic and sentimental about the whole thing.
