currently thinking about PHM and how Stratt downloaded like the entirety of the internet (somehow??) as well as every single piece of digital media she could get her hands on and uploaded it to the Hail Mary for Grace and the other astronauts. And the ramifications and consequences of that decision.
#leigh rambles#project hail mary#ryland grace#phm#bc like#theres no active signal back to earth#which means that any updates in gaming entertainment OR SCIENCE#would not be upon the hail mary#so like the 1.7 stardew valley update thats coming out? grace wouldn't have it#it also means that grace would not have access to the fandoms either#bc like i know its a popular thing in the phm fanfics that all of AO3 gets uploaded#but he would never get any other updates to any of it#so he could be reading a fic written by one of the students in his class#(not knowing the writers irl identity of course bc that would be even worse)#and then this student mid grad school returns to an abandoned fic of theirs and updates it#dedicating the new chapter in the memory of Dr. Ryland Grace AKA the best middle school science teacher ever#But grace would never see it#bc the Hail Mary ship is a time capsule#bc the only way to get info back to earth was to send probes bc they were too far away#grace would never seen how the fandom reacts to new episodes or new series becoming popular#because he would only have what currently existed when Stratt downloaded the internet#and grace never would see it#bc the ship was only built for a one way trip
