We've all heard the story at least once. It's one of the old Tumblr stories that makes it's way around time to time.
The USS Independence catching sight of the Italian ship Amerigo Vespucci.
"Who are you?"
"Training ship Amerigo Vespucchi, Italian Navy."
"You are the most beautiful ship in the world."
They met again many years later and USS Independence signaled, "You are still, after 60 years, the most beautiful ship in the world."
"Who are you?"
"Hail Mary."
"You are the most beautiful ship in the universe."
#Project Hail Mary#Blip A#The Hail Mary#Your first impulse is to have Mary tell that to Blip A#Because Blip A is so beautiful#But imagine you are Blip A#A first ship of your kind and young and full of technology and things far beyond anything but still so fragile and imperfect for space#And you look up and see something MADE for space#Small and delicate looking but it can change shape and spin and move with such grace#Mary was beautiful
