    Summary

    A prayer for a miracle could not have brought Eva Stratt better than Ryland Grace.

    Sacrificial lambs don’t care much for miracles, though.

    [A character study where Eva Stratt explores a museum exhibit honoring the members of the Project Hail Mary mission and wonders if she regrets her decisions.]

    Summary

    "When the Beetles crash-landed on Earth, twenty-six years after the launch of the Hail Mary, they carried 5 terabytes of video storage, enough Taumeoba to save the Earth twenty times over, and an encrypted file titled only 'for Eva.'"

    OR: when it comes to saving the world, there is little time for goodbyes.

    Summary

    Seeing it in person makes my throat tighten.

    I’m glad I’m alone. I can’t control the slight tremble in my hand and I’m not sure if it’s fear or grief, but there's something bubbling under my chest.

    Grace died over a decade ago. I killed him. I know that.

    I’ve had 26 years to sit alone in a cell with that. That and every other outcome.

    But for some reason instead of touching the beetle I’m frozen wondering if perhaps Grace had touched it too.

    --

    TLDR: Stratt goes through the logs from the beetles and has to save the world. A bit of a shock to her.

    Summary

    Ever since your men tackled me to the ground and sent me to spend my last few days on Earth in an induced coma, my soul or whatever has been floating around the base like a one-man production of A Christmas Carol. Welcome to your own personal haunting, Eva Stratt.

    Summary

    Dr. Herrick is chatting up Grace in the corner. Or at least, he’s trying to. Grace is mostly avoiding eye contact, glancing across the room every few seconds towards particularly lively conversations, or looking down at his pack of sour skittles.

    Usually, Stratt doesn’t spend much time down here in the bar with the rest of the crew—she’s busy, and she doesn’t particularly wish to soften her reputation. But she has mindless emails to answer tonight, and anyway, she’s been wanting to see how Grace interacts with the others. She’s been curious.

    ~~~

    Stratt witnesses one of her crew corner Grace in a dark hallway. She intervenes.

    Summary

    After the Hail Mary launches, the team erupts into celebratory cheers. Despite the gravity of the mission, it is a relief that months and months of work have finally culminated in a successful launch. Whether it will be a successful mission, they do not know, and they will not know for years to come. For now there is nothing to do but cheer and make plans for drinks, a bit of welcome levity in the non-stop stress of an incoming apocalypse.

    Eva Stratt does not celebrate.

    Summary

    Grace has a dream that maybe isn't a dream, after all.

    or

    Did you know that sometimes, people in comas remember the things said to them?

    Summary

    When the Hail Mary launches, Eva knows it is only a matter of time before the powers-that-be turn on her. Human memory is short after all, and humanity always needs a scapegoat when things start to go wrong. What she doesn’t expect is to see him. Always there in his yellow raincoat, always watching her.

    In which Dr. Ryland Grace haunts Eva Stratt.
