There she was.

THE PETROVA TASK FORCE.

A swirl of emotion rose in his chest. A full body photo of Eva Stratt was plastered on the wall, the explanatory text no doubt highlighting her role as the head of the Petrova Task Force and Project Hail Mary. She stood nonchalantly with an expression which suggested that whomever spoke with her was boring her. Heck, for all he knew, it’d been him boring her. Photos of the other team leads were interspersed throughout. He touched his fingers to Dimitri’s.

“It’s good to see you again, old friend,” he whispered. Rocky adjusted his camera.

“Is that her?” he whispered.

“Yeah.”

“Wish I could have met her.” Grace smiled at the thought.

Do you like project hail mary and holding stuff? then this is for you.

and second!! i also wanted to ask about how you usually do the multimedia snippets :0 ? like did you write the code for everything yourself, or use templates, or etc etc. im still a very new learner to css/html, so seeing all the tweets and reddit threads and emails and etc is so so exciting ???? like Wowie wow wow its so so cool, its like looking through a glass store window at all the super cool and warm gadgets on the shelf aaaa

Thank you. :)

I mostly use templates for everything. I've got links to the six guides I've followed below, but there have been a few instances in which I've had to code the templates myself (IE: LinkedIn, Twitter QRTs & Replies).

I also technically didn't code the news articles, but I disliked how AO3 automatically formatted headers, so I played around with spacing to get it right. This is how I did it.

Templates I've Used

Twitter, Email, Reddit, Instagram, Wikipedia, and Tumblr

I cannot for the life of me figure out how old Grace is vs how many years he's experienced in TLJH, and it's been bugging me for ages. My brain ain't mathing 😥
