Ryland Grace playing "Who did this: middle schooler, or top ranking PHD owning scientist?" with Yao and Ilyukhina, with Dubois and Shapiro helping add scientists.
Eventually it expands into different categories and even more people start playing. Some categories are:
middle schooler or Dr Ryland Grace
middle schooler or various other neurodivergent people on the vatt
Dubois or android character/autistic coded character
Dimitri or children's cartoon villain
Carl or low budget action movie (He loves them)
Ilyukhina or my little pony character
Ryland Grace's ASD class students or the "neurotypical" crewmembers
Yao and Ilyukhina or two characters with a "Grumpy man and his unofficial daughter" dynamic
Grace, Dubois, or Shapiro; AKA biologist roulette
Star Trek or Star Wars (They each have a team of Trekkies and a team of Star Wars enthusiasts, and each feel deep shame and disappointment when they get it incorrect. Outside of this specific weekly battle, no one actually cares that much about who likes which franchise more, but they play it up for dramas sake)
top ranking scientist or top ranking engineer
Top ranking engineer or Bob the builder
An sane human adult talking to a piece of equipment or someone consoling an animal/small child
Quote from the happiest moments of their lives or quote from last week when they were gifted a rock (or similar value to rock)
Carl or Grace, where they replace any actual swears with Grace's teacher swears. This got harder as they both started referring to Astrophage outside of work almost exclusively as "Their babies"/"their little girls/boys/babies(yes, again)"
foreboding religious text quote or a threat someone whipped out after 36 straight hours of bullshit.
That last one they call God vs Sleep Deprivation, or God vs [neurodivergency the quoted person has], and every other quote they'll switch things like the 'Ye's and 'thee's to 'you's and vice versa, etc, just to make it harder. They were all baffled to learn that it was not religious texts, but their own Dr Ryland Grace who said, verbatim, "You are withered and old, with countless unforgivable sins, and God has no place for you in his kingdom."
Leclerc had accidentally taken his cardigan while picking up other coats, and this was the immediate response upon returning from having his arms touched for the better part of a six hour meeting. Leclerc cried, for he was also deeply sleep deprived. This was the day they learned Stratt occasionally gives days off, because she gave one to Leclerc. Leclerc does not help with coats anymore, even after forgiving Grace.
