I feel like I am much more disconnected from the Eden Cult part of Iron Lung (in which I mean I’m trying to learn but have very little idea of how to learn more)
But I do know it’s a Christian cult ☝️ I do know that.
So I’d like to think Simon has a special relationship with the Hail Mary. Yes, he thinks Grace is an angel and a savior, but now he’s safe in the Hail Mary.
Grace hears the computer talking and walks into the control room to see Simon leaned against the window and talking to the Hail Mary.
Imagine with me PLEASE
Simon: … Mary?
Mary: Yes, Simon?
Simon: Can I trust the people here?
Mary: Captain Doctor Ryland Grace is a renowned expert on microbiology and astrophage. He is regarded as a hero to Earth. Rocky is an expert engineer, he is regarded as a hero to Erid. The crew of the Hail Mary is full of the most capable.
Simon: Okay… Okay. Mary?
Mary: Yes, Simon?
Simon: Am I going to die here?
Mary: Last vital reading indicates stress. Leisure activity recommended. No threat imminent.
Simon only really talks to the Mary for the longest time, despite Rocky and Grace trying to befriend him. It’s only when Mary recommends camaraderie that Simon takes a deep breath and goes to join the dynamic duo in watching a movie.
