Concept: Grace makes a paper "thank-you card" for Stratt and sends it on an autonomous craft from Erid not long after landing there, along with scientific information and gifts and stuff from the people of Erid. It says:
Stratt,
Thanks for stealing my life from me.
Found a pretty decent new one, if you were wondering.
x Grace
And it has several Polaroids in it (Ilyukhina brought a Polaroid camera, obviously, she is a cutesy millennial) of his friends and his biodome on Erid.
One of them is a shirtless selfie with Adrian and Rocky and it's like. It's just vague enough she can't tell why. Maybe it's super super hot, even in his biodome?? Maybe all his shirts are torn already? But it also looks sorta... not very platonic? So she'll have to wonder, for the rest of her life: is Grace up there, 16 light-years away, orbiting 40-Eridani, having sex with aliens? Making a whole lotta different kinds of First Contact? And she will never get an answer :)
