I know we all know how much the rest of the Hail Mary crew would’ve loved meeting Rocky (RIP Olesya Ilyukhina you will always have a special place in my heart) but you know who we totally forget would’ve loved to meet an actual, intelligent alien?

Eva Motherfucking Stratt

Everyone forgets (especially movie fans since I don’t think they even brought it up for y’all) that Stratt wasn’t a scientist like the rest of her crew. Sure, she was definitely smart enough to understand most of what they told her, but it wasn’t her field of study. She wasn’t a biologist or a chemist or an astrophysicist, she was a historian. She was also recommended for the project because she was an incredibly talented diplomat. Canonically, she’s fluent in at least seven languages, and probably speaks several more- give her a day, and she’ll understand Eridian almost as well as Grace. The atmospheric testing, the experimentation with Xenonite, that’s all her crew. But getting to know an alien race, learning all about their language and their history and their culture? That’s her thing, right there.

TL;DR: If anyone would have been absolutely fascinated to sit down and learn about society on another planet, it would’ve been Eva Stratt. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

mimicry

i know that sight is the main sense humans have that's basically "eldritch" to Eridians but its important to note that they can't smell either.

like not only do we have an additional sense to perceive light but scents too which protects us and helps defend us from all sorts of things.

like we can distinguish at least 10,000 different odors, with some research on the topic claiming that the worst "performer" (smeller) could 'probably still distinguish between 80 million scents'

like think of all the times we've been saved by poison or gas leaks and disease and basically all other things simply because we could smell it.

all im saying is there's a lot of fanfic/fancomic/fan whatever potential here when it comes to human sense of smell

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Twenty-six years

More than 9,000 days

That's how long it will take before humanity will even know if Project Hail Mary was a success.

Eva Stratt has to watch as the apocalypse comes, all while dealing with the consequences of her decision to murder her... to murder Grace. Consequences she knew would happen, and refuses to regret.

This came to me and I had to make something about it
