something something how Weir protagonists are always the ones that bring people together even if they don't realize it. how Watney was brought on the mission partially because of his sense of humor, how he acts as a "catalyst to make the group work better." how Jazz organizes like five people, sometimes people she doesn't even like, to bring down an entire criminal organization. how Grace, arguably the least extroverted of the three, is an incredible teacher, how he engages kids and adults alike, how he meets an alien species and learns to communicate with it. idk just: science happens in community and the Weir protagonists, basically Science Incarnate, are always the facilitators of community... ugh I love them so much
