    Summary

    Carl asks, “Coffee, ma’am?” and she shakes her head.

    His eyebrows arch comically high and he scoffs, “What, are you pregnant?”

    She doesn’t deny it fast enough, and Carl’s eyes go wide, a foghorn loud, “Stratt-”

    And then he asks, “It’s his, right?” Swallows and unnecessarily adds, “Grace’s?”

    Summary

    “Don't die,” Stratt says, still having not broken her stride. “At this point, that would be an inconvenience.”

    As soon as he thinks she's out of earshot, Grace leans in and stage whispers to Carl. “Did you hear?! I got a promotion! I’m an inconvenience!”

    -

    In the lead up to the launch of Earth's last ditch hope of salvation, Eva Stratt makes a few different decisions about what it means to be human in the face of the end of the world. Ryland Grace is just along for the ride, right? There's nothing particularly exceptional about him. Together, they face the challenges and consequences of saving the entire planet.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt stares at the short transmission. It’s in unremarkable Mary-standard ACSII format, just like the rest of the status updates had been. This one read, on the early-morning, sun-streaked pixels of her MacBook:

    HAILMARY/INC/STATUS-25/07/2023-CREW

    STATUS
    YAO - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    ILYUKHINA - DECEASED; Vitals - NONE, EEG READ: BRAIN DEATH
    GRACE - ALIVE; Vitals - WNL (WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS).

    -

    Ten months after launch, Project Hail Mary recieves a status transmission informing them that Yao and Ilyukhina have died in their comas. Eva Stratt isn't ready to talk to medical lead Chananyapak Yimlamai about what that means.
