there's this ridiculously soulmatey line in the phm book when grace is just kinda idly wondering aloud about why human and eridian technology are at such similar phases of development, and without thinking about it much rocky responds "has to be, or you and I would not meet." which he goes on to explain as (paraphrasing here) "if either planet were less advanced then we couldn't have built interstellar ships, but if either were more advanced then we could have dealt with the astrophage problem from home, so we'd have to be at around the same level to both be here, that's the only way it would make sense." what it sounds like though is "oh, that's easy: the two of us had to meet so the history of both of our entire species lined up in preparation to make it possible." what kind of tau-ceti-crossed red-petrova-line-of-fate nonsense is this.

I refuse to believe there aren’t like a million seeds in the Hail Mary somewhere (there were plants and that’s not logical for anything but keeping humans sane so I think Stratt decided to give them blind hope) and so one day when they find them, during the process of creating, one of the scientists who figured out cloning realizes that legumes and grains are actually their own seed and the food itself so they take a few and work on cloning them and then present Grace with things like a wheat seed the size of his head and soy beans the same size and Grace is just gonna be like ‘👁️👄👁️ guys I’m gonna need a MASSIVE mill for these things’ and then Rocky is all ‘it is my time to shine’ and goes to make him a mill and soon enough Grace has a delicious tofu and human stew with greens and bread on the side. Anyways, I just keep thinking of the cloners presenting him with a head sized grain of wheat and he’s just like 👁️👄👁️ about it.
