something something canon divergence coltlandgentry au where three of them got shot into space and the rest of phm happen and they ACTUALLY went back to earth (no taumeba leaks whatsoever), and by the time they landed on earth some american politicians and cia tried to put court back to jail because all he did when he was a sierra but ryland step-in, finally recognizing his power, because he's not the same coward from 30 years ago.
"i may be only the second in command for the petrova taskforce, but i am the commander of the hail mary mission. i also aware the chairwoman is wanted in every country and there's a bounty for her, but i am aware that petrova taskforce was reinstated as we enter the solar system. so heres the thing, we can bypass and overwrite any rules, that means courtland gentry-grace is a free man and is considered as hero of humanity as he was part of the crew that bring back the cure for the astrophage crisis. anything that he did as sierra six in the past is the past and is not bound to him. i can get myself a letter from any governments, especially from the US President about it. do i make myself clear?"
and everytime they tried, ryland is already knew before hand and intervene with it. and everytime court is try to reason with him, colt told him it's time for him and ryland to protect him.
to add more FEELS
all the petrova taskforce members required to watch the video logs. they finally stumbled upon courtland's confession about how he kill their father to protect the twins, how the system failed to protect them, how donald fitz (senior officer at cia) gave him second chance by working for the cia in return for his freedom and the twins' safety but he has to fake his death and tell no one about it, how the cia has been treating him as a weapon and only cahlil and fitz has been treating him like human and even their sees him like their son, and everything. they finally understand why ryland is so hellbend try to protect court because the man always been protecting him from the start.
the taskforce now set a new policy for court and court only, because if the us government officials and the cia took court away, let they be know that court has so many eyetwitnesses for testify.
