thinking about grace and stratt's roles being reversed. disgraced scientist the UN themself pulled out of academic exile to lead the project and the history major esa administrator he roped into helping with organizational/decision-making parts of it. he's an easy scapegoat because everyone already thinks he's a nut. they have his prison cell picked out and the articles about him going insane drafted and ready to publish. grace firmly believes the mission will result in the crew meeting alien life and sends up someone who knows humanity like the back of her hand to meet them. is this anything.
