    Summary

    “A staggering waste of carbon” is the insult that blacklisted Dr. Grace’s entire career. Worried he may repeat that behavior with other scientists and derail progress on Project Hail Mary, Stratt questions Grace on what caused him to react so harshly.

    She just never expected this traumatic of a reason behind it.

    Summary

    I saw a couple Tumblr posts about how Stratt would first react to Grace's video logs when the beetles are recovered, and I started having ideas.
    So here's Stratt watching Grace's video logs. (mostly made up by me ofc but includes some direct quotes of the logs he makes in the movie)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace knows his time is coming.

    Worst of all, Ryland thinks Rocky knows it, too.

    But... there might be another way for him to keep living.

    ("So," Ryland says, hands clasped on the table. “An artificial body, huh?”

    “Yes.” Rocky sounds concerned. “We went over this, Grace.”)

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.
