Hmm, I kinda see a pattern in the type of female characters I like a lot

Consider: The Hail Mary's beatles arriving to earth but the only thing in them is the Tauomeba and all the information needed to breed and use it to save Earth. The beatles have storage space specifically intended for stuff like personal and ship logs but all that data has been specifically removed.

It just Tauomeba, its instructions, and written obituaries for Yao and Ilyukhina.

The instructions are written so mater of fact, so cold, they lack any of warm, lighthearted touches the Project Hail Mary team have come to expect from Grace. It's disturbing.

Grace chooses to remove any non-necessary info from the beatles.

Earth can have its salvation. Stratt can have her solution.

But he won't give her anymore of himself.

He's given her enough. Did everything they asked of him. He's done enough. So he'll send the Tauomeba, and it will be the last piece of him he'll ever give her.

so did being right after all get her amnesty or did they throw her ass back in the slammer as soon as she was done picking up the beetles and orchestrating the cure and allat

One forever on the ground, one forever in the skies, both trapped till the end of their lives.

As much as it is funny it is also extremely important that Stratt doesn’t know anything about science. Like she is a history major, and she takes Grace to every meeting because she doesn’t understand the science and she knows he does. (And to prep him for the event she doesn’t make it or she has to send him to space.) because It explains and removes the argument of “if Stratt was so committed why didn’t she go?”, because she is just not a science person. She never was and even if she went herself she can’t do what Grace does.

trying to decide for a fic what i think the most thematically resonant reason for stratt to have ended up in prison would be

option one: drugging grace. on the one hand, we know she's in a french prison and she drugged grace with french drugs. on the other hand, no way her trial isn't public and that cuts directly against him being remembered as a hero and "the scientist working on saving humanity has amnesia now" is just not a line the public needs to hear

option two: nuking antarctica. easier to argue this one is outside of her strict mandate as leader of the petrova taskforce but also easier to argue that it's not. definitely the sort of thing you want to throw someone in prison about and also not the sort of thing she can deny doing

option three: secret third option. there's plenty in canon to imprison stratt, but also i don't think she would have given up her mandate easily once world governments start to conflict over resource distribution. i do think she is not far from political assassinations to try and avert large scale resource wars. emphasis on try.

what does the internet council think?
