Subject 1.

"🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎵 🎼 " (how was she like?)

"Eva?"

Rocky nods, waiting. He doesn't talk much about her.

He sighs, eyes scanning the horizon. Recalling what he remembers.

"she was brilliant, commanded every room she walked into." he started with the basics

"has a coffee addiction. I didn't know that much coffee consumption was humanely possible till i met her."

"nerves of steel. Talented. Kind. Loving. Smart." he was naming out qualities from fragmented memories to keep. It wouldn't suffice. He didn't want to remember someone by their characters like a checklist. He wanted memories. Moments.

"she was brought to court once, they tried prosecuting her for piracy. She, a history major, represented herself. Sat working with her tablet in court, shoved a pardon infront of the officials and left. They tried chasing after her. "you must abide with the law" or something. "only when i want to" nerves of steel.

"i remember her on a conference. Switching between languages like it was nothing

Russian, then Chinese, german, Russian again. English, French, Greek.

If i recall she can speak Arabic too, as well as her native tongue of coarse. Dutch." talented, smart.

"i saw her pet and feed a stray cat once. It was completely on accident and she swore me to secrecy. I believe her exact words were "if you breathe a word about this encounter doctor grace i assure you will be strapped to the first viable missile to antarctica" kind

" 🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵" (what did she look like?)

"she had blue eyes. Blonde hair."

(like grace's?)

"No, not like mine. Brighter, more red."

(ohh ginger?) (Rocky's been on the Internet okay?? He knows what a ginger is)

"ehh, not quite. More neutral, something like... Uhh"

"wait give me a second" he turned around, searching the ground and his pockets for something.

"ah." he pulled out a fox keychain.

"something like this." he hands it to rocky. Rocky scans it with a spectrophotometer.

Colour AA5729.

He glances back down at the keychain. Its the one stratt got him. The one that matches his sweater.

Foundation 3.01 "A Song for the End of Everything" "Do you feel your chains loosening?" "No. I love the Cleons. Body and soul." "And when their dynasty inevitably ends?" "That is why I worked so long to bring you here. The Luminists speak of rebirth, but I do not die. And I will not."

Grace is dragged up and down, east and west by Stratt and he's like "yeah, another tuesday"

How whenever she's about to do something questionable like kidnapping another scientist (Dr. Lokken) he's like "you'll get use to it."

How the movie pulls this but switched it, when Grace is firstly meets the crew and Yao says "he talks like a kid", and Stratt is like "you'll get use to it." Then followed by her telling him "you are doing great."

How once again when Stratt is about to do something questionable, like nuking the Antarctic and she says something like "I dont care about morality" and he's like "yeah, she doesn't".

And just the way they gravitated towards each other, she only smiles when he's with her, he goes to look for her whenever he feels uncomfortable in a room and after seeing people flirting. How they work together in separate stuff.

a duo i just made up

like imagine you wake up in some crazy sci fi situation in a body you don't recognize

without knowing that you got here through traumatic means and have key information you forgot but will uncover

then you accidentally and unwillingly become VERY important at work

with your WAY more important co worker

still, you rise to the challenge and risk your life to help someone/people you've never met or remember

but after completing your mission, you turn away from the very thing you've saved to spend the rest of your days with the unlikely friend you made during this mission, no matter how brief that may be

seems crazy but happened to my good buddies mark s and ryland g

anyway as a reward for getting this far, here's a bonus duo for your troubles:

the protectors of the (scape)goat
